A structure that 37 years ago v.-as
the finest two-story brick business
building in Brownsville was beini1
rased today to make way for a mod-
ern two-story business building.
Workmen for W. A. Yelten con-
tractor began the work of demolish-
ing the roof and it terior woodwork
of the old First National Bonn
at the east corner of Eleventh and
Elizabeth streets preparatory to
starting erection of the two-story
• tore and office building for Aziz
Bros. merchants of this city.
The new building for which 1‘age
Bros. architects of Austin and
Brownsville are the architects will
occupy a space 43 by 120 feet ex-
tending frnr the Elizabeth street
| corner back to the alley.
[ It is expected that the work of de-
molishing the building will require
i about a mnn'h. after which the new
| structure wdll be started.
The lot and building were pur-
chased by Aziz Bros in 11*23 the
irtice paid being about $31000. It is
j understood that Aziz Bros have
| sinre received several attractive of-
I for* for the property hut refused to
soil desiring to use the building for j
tloir own business.
The lot and building were pur-

Records show that the lot in ques-
tion sold in 1850 for $»''><) Several
vears later it was sold for 8<>00. and
*r»at before the pin-e of the Civil
War in 1804. it w-as sold for $•'150.
At various times between then and
lbeq it changed hands at prices
larging ranging from 8000 to $l?5().
The new Aziz building promises
to he one of the most artistic build-
I ires in Brownsville.
The firm wll occupy the front Ro
fiet of the building. There will be
j tv.o separate storerooms at the rear
fneng on Eleventh street where
there will also bp an entrance to the
ofzires on the second floor.
The building will he stuccoed
with a touch of the old Spanish in
the derorations. Five rope column-
will support that part of the second
floor extending out over the hug •
i alcove display windows and these
windows will extend around the
Fleventh street side t«» the side en-
trance to the store. The alcove dc-
1 sign was adopted because of tne
narrow width of the sidewalk and
to give “window -hoppers" full play.
Thi- v i- dr i e n leoognvion of
fact that thr corner is perhaps the
buisest in the city.
’ The windows according to George
Clark representative here for Rage
Bro- . the architects will be the last
word in shop-window designmg.
Their metropolitan appearance
against the quasi-modern back-
ground will relieve the eye and edu
charm arj| originality to the build-
ing.
A large suei naicor.j . uiso .^y.in-
ish. will overlook the front of the
store with a double French-like
window in the background. A sim-
ilar balcony also will over-look the
Eleventh street side of the building.
Towers on each corner of the
structure topped with red tile. ’• ith
I red tile coping* and brightly illum-

j The second floor will contain
eighteen office rooms.
