The exterior of the building is of modern architecture while the interior - is planned after .' some of the finest hotels. The main, floor is of terra cotta tile with ceilings and walls finished with embossed sheeting, giving the rooms every neat yet elaborate appearance. To this en- terprise as well an many other pro-' -- jects, Goderich owes much credit to E N. Lewis, who is manager of the Bed- ford estate, and who spared no pains in providing Goderich with this fine hotel. It may well be classed as one of the points of interest in Goderich. .
