]Estate of LeAvis Gr. Mlorris.
The demand for semi-rural residences must be considered not only a promi¬
nent characteristic of the present activity in real estate, but is also evidence
that the increasing population ofthe City of New York will make its suburbs
indispensable auxiliaries. It is not doubted that part of Westchester County
embraced by the contemplated sale will become a part of the great and grow¬
ing City of Jfew York. The great feature of Westchester County at present in
this connection, viewed from a city standpoint, is the Central Avenue,
Which is one of the broadest and finest avenues in the world for the general
characteristics of dimensions, locahty, and the beauty of surrounding and ad¬
joining scenery. It commences on the northerly side of jBarlem River, directly
opposite the termination ofthe Seventh-ave. Grand Boulevard, and One Hun¬
dred and Fifty-fifth St., and is connected with this city by the Central Bridge,
which spans the river at that point. The Commissioners of Central Park, when
this track shall be placed under their control, will lay out several streets and
avenues, and connect theni by bridges with the Boulevards on New York side.
The probable consohdation of this part of Westchester County with NewYork
City; the popularity of Central-ave. as a drive; the proximity of the Harlem
and Third-ave. cars, and the proposed Underground Railroad, make it at once
desirable for building purposes or for investment. The location of this prop¬
erty is superb, and a fine view of Central-ave. is presented fi-oni all parts.
