Evening Republican, Volume 15, Number 94, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 20 April 1911 — Art Arcade for Carlsbad. [ARTICLE]

Art Arcade for Carlsbad.

The project of an art arcade for* Carlsbad, which has been for so many years a vexed question among the tradesmen’s associations, is now making progress. The preparations have been pushed with noticeable energy. Extensive earth and rock excavations have been necessary to make room at one part of the Postbof Promenade for the building, and it can now be seen that useful work has been done. The little booths which formerly stood here and gave the appearance of an annual fair were certainly no ornament fOr the most fashionable promenade among the world’s watering places. Instead of this medley of booths of all possible colors and styles a tasteful, roomy and stately building will now appear, which will provide a worthy home for the creations of Carlsbad, industries, as well as those of natives and foreign artists, thus filling a long-felt want.
