The building, which has been located on tho East Side for the last seventy years, became known as tho Taylor mansion and nearly every East Skier knows the history of the building and the important part it lias played during the time. The property upon which it was located was acquired last year by the South I'ark commissioners through condemnation proceedings In which the city was given one of tho hardest legal battles in its history. Mor Room ceded. Tho property was purchased to make room for improvements that are being put up at the park. Having no use for the building it was sold last week at an auction sale and Mrs. C.

Mr. Eicholz, manager of the East Side Teaming company, said this morning that fully two weeks would be required In moving the building, as It would be necessary to tear some parts of It to pieces in order to transfer it from the park to Mrs. Bruses' property.
