Eight more rooms will be added to the Tryon infirmary upon the completion of the new Wilkins building now in the course of construction on the corner of Trade and Maple streets.
The new plans, according to W.Y. Wilkins, owner of the building, will include two store rooms in the basement of the building with the street entrance on Maple Street, two store rooms on the first floor facing Trade street and an L shaped second floor containing eight rooms to be equipped for the infirmary. The northeast room of this new addition to the hospital will be glassed as a sun room for convalescent patients. The second floor is being constructed in the form an L in order not to obstruct day-light in the operating room installed in the present hospital.
The new building will be modern and fire-proof throughout and will complete the block from the Ballenger Company to the corner of Maple street.
