Sale af the Altman Sixth Avauue Store.

6TH AV.—One of the most Important real estate transactions
closed In this eity was consummated late yesterday afternoon,
when Benjamin Altman disposed of his entire holdings, the site
of his present place of business, to Henry Morgenthau and J. B.
Greenhnt. The property has a frontage of 184 ft. on Oth av and
about 481 ft. on 18th and 19th sts, containing over 88,000 sq.
ft. of ground floor space, making it the second largest collected
retail dry goods site in thi.s city, the Siegel-Cooper property
being about 2,000 sq. ft, larger, and the third largest in the
United States, Marshall. Field & Co.'s, of Chicago, being slightly
larger than the Siegel-Cooper site. The sale includes all of lhe
buildings composed of the beautifully equipped dry goods build¬
ing now occupied by B. Altman & Co., as well as the new
granite flreproof stable on 18th st. With its large electric light
plant, pneumatic system and other machinery, it is one of the
best equipped stores in the city. Possession will be given to
the purchasers on or about September 15, when Mr. Altman
will open his new store at .34th st and 5th av. The purchasers
should have no difficulty in finding some reputable dry goods
merchant as tenant. Many have been looking to get into New
York, but the difflcuity of collecting a sufficiently large site
iinder one roof, in a desirable location, is well nigh impossible.
The property just sold has a full block front on Oth av, midway
between 14th and 23d sts—the greatest shopping centre in the
world. The eight large dry goods houses now located there
spend annually two millions of dollars in newspaner ndvertislng,
and, combined, do a business of ovev fifty million dollars per
annum. "The station of the Sixth Av L" is at the corner of 18th
st, in front of the property; the proposed McAdoo tunnel, now
in the course of conslruction, which will bring all the Jersey
trolleys, the Brie and Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Ry.
trains into the city, will have an entrance into the building, and
the proposed subway in Seventh avenue will also have a station
at the corner of ISth street. With the many bridges to Long
Island, proposed and in the course of erection, and the numer¬
ous tunnels both under the East and Hudson Rivers feeding
into the heart of the city, for an area covering fifty miles in
diameter, this section is destined to become greater and more
important as a retail dry goods centre with each succeeding
year. Mr. AH man began "business on this gite thirty-five years
ago, and his business grew and developed until to-day it is the
finest and largest retail dry goods store in the city. The
price at which the property was held is two ^million five hundred;
thousand dollars,                                              i                           1.     .
