The proposed Roosevelt Hotel, at Mt. Auburn and Holyoke Streets, will be built, all adverse criticism not-withstanding. As the University has taken no action to buy the site, Edward N. Wyner '18 announced yesterday that he would go ahead with his original plans, and gave directions for work on the foundation to begin immediately.
At the same time, Thomas J. Daly, agent for the owner of Beck Hall, made public his plans to tear down the old dormitory and erect in its place a large apartment house and a row of stores. The land, a total area of 31,000 square feet, was first offered to Mr. Wyner for his hotel, in the event that the University should buy the Mt. Auburn Street property.
The new hotel will be completed in about a year, as will the group of buildings at Quincy Square. Beck Hall will be torn down next June.
