THE FIRST STEP
Towards the Erection of
Fairhaven's Grand Opera House

Workmen were busily engaged yester-day in arranging for the removal of Gen-eral Manager E. L. Cowgill's residence from the corner of Harris avenue and Thirteenth street. The building will be taken to the corner of Seventeenth street and Knox avenue. This is the first step taken towards the erection of Fairhaven's grand opera house and as soon as the building is off the ground excavation will be commenced for the basement and foundation of the building.

General Manager Cowgill's residence continues to climb the hill. Last evening it had reached the corner of Fourteenth street and Knox avenue. The incline on Knox avenue is the
steepest of any over which the house has been moved, but the contractor expects to have the building at its permanent place at Seventeenth street and Knox avenue by the latter part of the week.
