OLD LANDMARK BEING REMOVED
MODERN BUILDING IS TO REPLACE OLD RICHARDS HOUSE
HOTEL ANNEX

A force of men are at work tearing down the old buildings on Second
street, NW, in which is located the office of Dr. F.W. Knoop.

The veterinarian has plans complete for the erection of a new office and
adjuncts, and will replace the old structure with a modern building,
suitable for his work.  The building being wrecked is one of the oldest
landmarks in that part of town, and was formerly an annex of the
Richards House hotel, which stood on the corner of Central avenue and
Second street, NW.  The building was later converted into a laundry,
which was operated by the Wasmers.

The Richards House was built in the early eighties, and the old frame
building used as an annex predated the hotel by more than a decade.
