Tallest building under construction is the Elks Home at Radcliffe and Walnut Street. The corner stone was laid in 1910 and the Elks building demolished in 1981. To the right of the Elks is a house which has been removed. The Bristol Water Works (stand pipe and smoke stack are removed) is on the right. The house between the Elks building and the Water Works was called the Blackwood House. The Bristol Free Library was moved into this building in 1916. After World War I, the library was moved to the former Red Cross Building, now the parking lot for the Grundy Library at Dorrance and Radcliffe Streets.
