Building Activities on the West Side

A great deal of improvement is going on this spring in that part of Rensselaer west of the river. In addition to the new dwellings being erected by George W. Hopkins and O. J. Parker on River street, extensive improvements are being made to the old Kannal property on McCoy avenue. R. D/ Thompson has built a large sun parlor and sleeping porch on the west side of his residence; Simon Leopold expects to build on his lot also on McCoy avenue, and two or three new houses will probably go up in Fred Phillips’ Fair View addition.
