The new Scandia Hall on Ohio Street, between Peoria Street and Milwaukee Avenue, will be one of the finest buildings on the Northwest side.

The ground was bought from Mr. John Anderson, the publisher of Skandinaven.

The new building will cover the entire space on Ohio Street from Milwaukee Avenue to Peoria Street, and all the way back to the alley, near Skandinaven's shop.

A box has been cemented into the cornerstone, holding several documents, and a copy of the August 4 issue of Skandinaven.
