Old Monon House in South Hammond Gives Way to Progress.

Lafayette Journal. The Monon authorities are erecting a new building at South Hammond. The structure will be 30 feet wide and 200 feet long. The south fifty feet will be used by the supply department and a foreman appointed to look after the supplies to be stored ih the building. The north end fifty feet will be equipped with wood (working machinery to be used for heavy car repair work. The center one hundred feet will be used as a store house for the better class of lumber and other material, thus adding increased facilities for the repair of cars, making it more convenient to handle bad cars at South Hammond instead of bringing them here for repairs. The improvement has been badly needed for years. The old Monon hotel building at South Hammond is being torn down to make way for more needed improvements by the Monon. The building was owned by theiMonon and was erected several years ago. The material of the old building will be used in erecting a new wood working shop to be located on the site.
