The large and spacious building lately occupied and known as the Presbyterian Church and the Conference House, all in a thorough state of repair, having been entirely re-roofed within the past year; also the lot on which the same is standing, located on Main street, opposite the Court House, Batavia. The main building is 42 1/2 by 70 feet, and the Conference House 30 by 40 feet. The building, from its immense strength and general structure, added to its central location in the village, would make one of the most desirable Tavern Stands in the County, and being of such lofty dimensions, a Public Hall, of a more convenient and extensive range than any in town, could be made in it but a trifling outlay. Under the whole building is an excellent cellar surrounded by massive stone walls in perfect repair. An undisputed title can be given. For further particulars address or enquire N.K. CONE, Land Agent, Batavia. *** Removal ! In order to complete the repairs on our Store, we have moved our stock of Goods into the store formerly occupied by G.A. LAY, south side of Main street.
