Interesting is the history of this ohi building that Is now attracting the at-. nKiir a research, has ten won vi been made lately into. the early history of the building and many interesting facts have been elicited. -According to the published reports vcmmpnt fhe first agitation on the subject of the erection of the building was In 1856, when the treasury department asked for bids for the. erection oi u.

luww. at 'PTrinT vllle. omce na vuuii. It appears that tne matter had been agitated for the two previous years and as a result of the agitation, the bids were called In those days the custom of the government was to first ask for plans, specifications and bids for the construction of the public a rt or- the bids were accepted congress was asked for make an appropriation for the erection of the building. This course was pur-aued at that time in regard to the erection "of this buiMing.

The records after that do not show anything further until 1866 and the subject lay dqr-mant until after the war. It is evi dent that the war reeling way of much being accompl shed Congress in isw rsr a rviBtomce and court house building in Knoxville and the records ao noi enw" thing was done unui lu Hntr three port snwws was made years siuce a-vr that $300 of the appropriation had in some manner oeen One Dollar and 75 Cents "Will. place one of our Gas Heaters in your bath room with eigl feet of tubing for connection.

The next official record states that the site was acquired In two purchases; that on the 30th of September, 1870, a site was purchased and the statement has been made that the first site was for the ground, that the building stands on. Then the "government found that "the site -was not large enough to give the building all the light and air needed, so on the 3rd of March, 1871, the land to the east tne first site was purchased and is the land that is now the open space. The first purchase of site cost $5,000 and the second purchase cost the additional sum of $5,300, making a total cost of $10,300 the site. xrn nfhfrr official record is found of the government reports until June 30, 1872, when the report shows that there had been up to that date $191,726.28 expended on the site and the construction of the building. After the building was finished the -next record Is found that the building and the sltt had cost $388,293.12.

Up to June, 1892, there had "been expended for alterations and repairs on the building $17,794.52, making a total cost to date of Since that time Including the present expenditure the building has cost a total of approximately $420,000. It is quite probable that there are other interesting facts that may be of interest In with this splendid building, but It must be understood that the foregoing facts are taken from the reports of the supervising architect of the treasury and only so far as the volumes are complete, "When the poetoffice building was hv contract, as is erecieu 1. now the custom, but was done by day work and. tne guvaumcui ltfl own maenmery anu that was necessary 10 ao Job.
