The structure was originally a white boarding house, but it has been so completely remodeled that no one would recognize in the palatial looking building the house of other days. The porch was taken down and a hood placed over the door, under which is the handsome brass lamp, on which is painted “The Planet.” The steps of the porch curve outward to the street. The flooring is two inches thick and the banisters are extra-large, adding to the symmetrical appearance of the same. The side-walk is granolithic. Iron letters, “The Planet,” were cast and inlaid before the pavement had hardened. A stepping stone was placed near the curb and a ring to which a horse can be tied was also sunk in the pavement. The guide stone on the right was presented by Mr. J.S. Gardner, stone-mason, yards, 21 and 23 west Leigh St. The two tree boxes are painted white with appropriate trimming. The front of the brick building is painted white, with light brown trimmings. On the cornice rests the large sign, which is over eight feet in the centre. It is thirty feet long. On it may be seen the black arm with the electric flashes. Midway of the building rests the other sign on which are the words, “Fine, Artistic Printing.” The arm rests on a background of sky blue. The lettering is imitation of gold with a black background. The alley at the side makes it convenient to deliver stock at the rear. On the floor of the main entrance is a “six-foot hall,” hallway oiled and cleaned. Here is the oak-furnished water-cooler for the visitor and the employees as well. To the left is the entrance to the business office. The furniture is of quarter oak, light finished, and describes a curve. The several wickets have the special wickets have the special business to be [illegible] carved over them. The rounded curve where the general business is carried on has been complimented.

Here may be seen the Campbell Two Revolution Press, which will print a 5, 6 or 7 column paper, both sides at one time or an 8, 9 or 10 column paper one side at a time. It prints 1500 papers per hour. Here also may be seen two job presses. The Brown Newspaper folder is always a source of interest. It folds and packs “Planets” faster than a man can feed them to it. It will fold, paste and trim an 8-page paper. The form elevator stops in this room. To the right is this engine room. Here may be seen the Tanner and Delaney engine, 6 horse power, purchased from Chamblin and Scott and made by the Richmond and Locomotive Works. It runs like a charm.
