The Toledo, Wabash and Western Railway Buildings consist of a round-house, 140 feet in diameter, with capacity for 24 engines ; brick machine shop, 100 feet wide by 160 feet long; blacksmith shop, 40 feet wide and 160 feet long ; wood shop, 30 feet wide and 200 feet long. A brick freight depot, 25 feet wide and 60 feet long; an elegant and conve- nient passenger depot, 40 feet wide and 100 feet long. These shops and the working of the road give employment to over five hundred men, with a monthly pay-roll of over $30,000, and an expenditure for material of $250,000 per month.
The shops of the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago Railway exceed in size and importance in direct ratio with the increased length of the road, and embrace a brick depot 290 feet long by 160 wide, and two stories high ; freight house 200 feet by 60 feet; brick office for Vice President, Superintendent and Engineers, 50 feet square, two stories high ; transfer house 25 feet by 100. In addition to these buildings for the general business of the road, all the machine work, building of cars, and repair work for the entire Western Division, from Crestline to Chicago, 280 miles, is done here, requiring extensive buildings and an immense expenditure.
A car shop, main building two stories high, 225 feet by 75 feet, with two wings 185 fcet by 75 feet, which turns out 30 passenger cars annually, and 50 freight cars per month or 600 a year, and uses 18,000,000 feet of lumber per year, and iron and other materials in proportion. Machine shop for the building and repair of engines, 335 feet long by 110 feet wide, one story, and offices at the south end, two stories, and 30 feet square. Boiler shop, 140 feet by 50 feet, and in the second story, copper and tin shop. A blacksmith shop, 320 feet by 80 fcet. Round house 310 feet in diameter, with stalls for 48 engines. Water house 50 feet square, two stories high. Fire proof oil house 30 feet square, two stories high. Paint shop 150 feet by 75 feet, with capacity for eight cars. All these buildings are of brick, and of the most substantial character, and covering over six acres of ground. The men employed and the expendi- tules are equal to the extent and importance of the buildings. Men in the motive power department, under the control of Isaac Dripps, Esq., are

983; in the transportation department, 538; in road or maintainance way department, 1,330; station agents and telegraph operators, 160; total of men, 3,020. At an expense for labor and material for a single month: Motive power department, $53,992 67; road, $49,817 19; transporta- tion, $30,080 60; total, $133,890 46. For material in motive power department, $67,643 53; road, $81,567 98; transportation, $3,540 98; total for material, $152,752 49 ; total for men and material, $286,642 95. This vast expenditure for buildings, men and materials, gives a satisfac- tory solution of the surprise expressed by citizens and strangers alike, at the rapid and substantial growth of our city. The prospect of three other roads to be completed at an early day-the Fort Wayne and Cin- cinnati, the Grand Rapids and Northern Indiana, already graded the greater part of the way and cars running for twenty miles, and the Fort Wayne and Southern, will tend to continue this rapid growth.
Following the railroad improvements in March, 1855, the Fort Wayne Gas Company was incorporated, and extensive works erected, so as to light the city in October. The growth of the city has required the erec- tion of a new holder 60 feet in diameter, 20 feet deep, with capacity for 58,000 feet of gas. The pipe is extended over seven miles, and the con- sumption 34,000 feet per day.
A system of improving the streets has been inaugurated, and the result is the Nicholson pavement, that meets the approval of all, is now built over a mile on our principal streets, with ten squares more under contract, and is to be extended as far as the public want demands.
While thus contemplating the public works as the great cause of our rapid growth, private enterprise should not be overlooked, as an equally important element in the rapid increase and prosperity of the city. The extensive water power of our canal and rivers has led to the erection of eight extensive merchant mills, whose manufacture command the highest price in the eastern market; also eight planing mills and sash and door factories, which give constant employment to over 300 men, together with four large steam tanneries, with work for 150 men.
Prominent among private enterprises are our machine shops and foun- dries. The Fort Wayne Machine Car Wheel Works of Bass & Hanna, with a machine shop 44 feet by 116 feet, blacksmith shop 44 feet by 30 feet, foundry 60 feet by 120 feet, car wheel shop 60 fect by 180 feet, and boiler shop 50 feet by 140 fcet-all substanstial brick buildings, to which they have added the extensive shops of the Excelsior Agricultural Works. The works give employment to 200 men, with an average pay-roll of $10,000, and a monthly expenditure for material of $60,000 to $80,000.
Besides these, the shops of J. C. Bowser & Co., and Murray & Baker, each with an average pay-roll of $6,000, and an expenditure for materials of $30,000. All these works are employed to their fullest capacity and are unable to keep up with the demand for their work, which is of the
13

most superior character. The large woolen factory of French, Hanna & Co., four stories in height, 105 feet long by 55 feet wide, giving employ- ment to 70 workmen, with a demand for their work that they cannot supply, is another important enterprise. Also the extensive hub, spoke and bending factory of N. G. Olds & Son, a three-story brick building, 50 by 120 feet, with two warehouses, one 30 by 130 feet, the other 25 by 85 feet, and a two-story brick, 50 by 175 feet, employing 150 men, using a million feet of sawed lumber, and making a million and a half of spokes annually, and the large and extensive works of the same character of Brackenridge & Taylor on the canal feeder, together with the works of McElfatrick & Wilder for the manufacture of handles and agricultural tools. Nor must we overlook the four-story cabinet shop of John M. Miller, 40 by 120 feet, and employing 50 or 60 men, or the cabinet works of Griebel & Fee, and John J. Klaehen, nor the extensive planing mills and sash, door and blind factories of Cochran, Humphrey & Co., O. D. Hurd, Clark & Rhinesmith, and A. C. Beaver, giving employment to a large number of men and working up an immense quantity of lumber. These, with numerous other manufactories, of which the limits of this sketch forbid a full description, are all elements of growth and prosperity, and readily account for our rapid progress, that must be permanent with such extensive works to sustain it, supported by a fertile country, and an exhaustless supply of the best timber.
Among the leading dry goods houses in the city are Messrs. Townley, De Wald, Bond & Co., H. R. Schwegman, Abbott & Shoaff, Root & Co., Frank & Thanhauser, C. Orff & Co., A. S. Evans, Allen, Meyers & Co., all of whom do a most extensive business. The firm of Townley, De Wald, Bond & Co., successors to J. W. Townley & Co., and Townleys, Dewald & Bond, was established in 1839, and is no doubt the oldest in the State. The annual sales of this house are now hundreds of thousands of dollars, and with the advantages they possess in purchasing and selling goods, we can see no reason why their sales should be excelled by any house in the West, excepting in the larger cities of Chicago and Cincinnati.
Turning from this view of the public works and private manufactures to the commerce of the city, we find there equal prosperity in every de- partment of trade, not excelled by any city of its population in the West. The dry goods stores number over thirty, some wholesale, with a trade of $300,000 a year, and retail stores over $200,000 a year ; thirty hardware, iron and stove stores, single stores reaching a trade of $150,000 ; and over forty boot and shoe stores, with a heavy trade; seventy grocery stores, some with a trade reaching near $200,000; twelve drug stores, the trade of a single house being $250,000; thirty clothing stores, some with a trade of $150,000; with book and jewelry stores, and all the varied branches of trade, and the credit of no merchants in the West stand higher than those of Fort Wayne.

SKETCH OF FORT WAYNE.
In capital, banking and financial resources, the city is surpassed by none. It is sufficient to name the three National Banks, the First, Fort Wayne and Merchants', and the extensive banking house of Allen, Ham- ilton & Co., with a combined capital of not less than $700,000, to prove the sound basis of our financial condition, to which may be added the Fort Wayne and the Summit City Building and Loan Associations, with a capital of $100,000 each.
Fort Wayne has also been the great center for the land trade of Nor- thern Indiana. At an early day the United States Land Office was located here, and in 1836 over a million of dollars were paid in one season into the Land Office at this point, and ever since emigration has sought this as a favorable point to select and buy lands. The establishing, in 1844, of the " Indiana Land Agency," which has ever since continued under one management, has been a great aid to those wishing to settle in this region-the sales at the agency amounting to $200,000 annually.
The most important items in a notice of the advantages of a city, are the intellectual and religious privileges, and in these particulars Fort Wayne stands high. Its daily and weekly papers, with their large cir- culation, and well supported, are proofs of this. But of her free schools she is especially proud. Four large brick buildings, and two frame, with forty rooms, and forty-five teachers, under the able superintendence of Prof. J. H. Smart. The Eastern Division embraces eight hundred scholars, the Western Division one thousand, the High School and Train- ing School three hundred, and schools south of the Railroad three hundred more, making a grand total of twenty four hundred scholars, with the benefit of fine philosophical apparatus, library, cabinet and gymnasium, all departments giving evidence of good scholarship and able management. Add to these the Fort Wayne Female College, Concordia University, the various private and denominational schools of a high order, together with the Fort Wayne Commercial College, an institution managed with great ability and success, and few towns can boast of higher intellectual privi- leges and culture. The fifteen churches, some of them of the largest dimensions, and of a high order of architecture, well supported with large and attentive congregations, all speak in the highest terms as to the religious privileges and character of her people.
In the general appearance of the city, in the character and extent of her buildings, embracing over three hundred three and four-story brick stores, some of the highest style of architecture, with a magnificent Court House, costing over $80,000, and elegant and costly brick dwellings, Fort Wayne is not surpassed ; and when we speak of her hotels, the Rockhill, Aveline, Mayer, and other houses, she is not equalled in the country, and all for the enterprise of her population, and are the best evidence of growth and prosperity. The magnificent " Keystone Block," and numer- ous other stores, the extensive shops, and the large number of handsome
15
SKETCH OF FORT WAYNE.
dwellings erected the past year, have attracted the attention and admira- tion of strangers, and no city in the State has excelled, if any have equalled her in growth and progress, and the promise for the future is fully equal to the past.
With a growth and prosperity founded upon so substantial a basis, little is hazarded in stating that the population of 25,000 in 1868 will exceed 30,000 at the next census, and that few towns present such strong inducements to the merchant, mechanic and business man of every class for a permanent residence, as are presented by the City of Fort Wayne.
