Abstract:
Durham's proposed new towering skyscraper is about to become a reality. The Homeland Investment Company announced the awarding of the contract for the construction of the Home Bank Building to George W. Kane of Durham. Work will begin June 1 to put into marble, limestone, and steel the floor plans and elevators designed by George W. Carr, architect. This new seventeen-story edifice will rise out of the wreckage of the old post office which has recently been razed.
