The Real Estate Record





May 20, 1882





would not pay the advanced rents demanded early in
thesnason. There is every indication of a good de¬
mand for houses for the rest of tin's year.

It is a noticeable circumstance that many large
estates are investing in Improved property in varlou-;
parts of the city, especially down town. The Goelet
estate has recently made very large purchases

Property in the neighborhood of New York is look¬
ing np. The Larchmont Manor Company has just
bought 288 acn s at Mamaroneck, on the south side of
the Westchester turnpike at the intersection of a
creek, adjoining the land formerly owned by Wilham
Scott, on the Long Island Sound. The consideration
was $2>'7,204. Larchmont has proved to be among the
most attractive suburban retreats for New Yorkers,
and this addition is undoubtedly to afford lots for
new buildings.

There will be several interesting 'sales next week,
one that of the Bennett estate. There may be an
active contest for some of the parcels to be offered by
Mr. Bernard Smyth on Monday next. The house at
tbe corner of '1 hirty-eighth street and Fifth avenue
would be a splendid location for a club or a great
apartment house. Indeed at one time Mr. Bennett
himself thought of acquiring Ihe property adjoining
on Fifth avenue, and erecting a great Paris flat.
Should he buy in the property he may do
10 yet. There is much curiosity as to
the price the Bennett Building In Nassau street vill
brfng. In its construction Mr. Bennett was a little
"too previous." It was erected when prices were at
their highest, and It Is tmcerstood to have been not
profitable on the ainount of capital inv»sted. The
owner of the Herald had the sagacity to foresee that
great office buildings would be in demand in tbe lower
part of the city; but the location was not as favorable
as some others. The Tribune, 'Times. Morse buildings
and Temple Conrt are nearer the law courts, and
better for lawyers and public offices, while Ann and
Fulton streets are not available for the exchange or
brokerage business of Wall street and below. The
assessed valuation of this property is $.'00,000. If this
is a correct assessment, it ought to bring under the
hammer something over $800,000. The Wasl.ingion
Heights property ought to command very good figure.-!.
Tliere are other interesting sales next week, but the
spring season for real estate will not close until after
the disposal of the 783 lots of the Jumel (Slate, the
fale of which commences on the last day of this
month.

Richard V. Harnett will sell on Tuesday next the
house, Ko. 253 Monroe street, also the house. No. 329
W^est Sixteenth s'reet.

On Tuesdaj-. May £3. A. H. Muller & Son will sell
the estate of William Mathews, deceased. It com¬
prises some unusually valuable building lots, one on
Fourth avenue, south of Seveniy-e ghih street, two on
Tenth avenne, be'ow Tiiirtysec ond street, also four
lots on the corner of Thirty-fourth street and Tenth
avenue, t» o lots on Fourth avenue, south of Seventy-
ninth street and one lot on Fourth avenue, south of
Eightieth street, also a lot In Division street, be¬
tween Norfolk and Suffolk streets. The same auc¬
tioneers on the same day will sell twe've lots on One
Hundred and Thirty-ninth and One Hundred and
Fortieth streets, near New avenue. .On Thursday, May
25. Messrs. Muller will sell, under receiver's sale, one
half of the whitd marble building on the east side of
Nassau street, running from Pine to Cedar. This is
known as the Continen'al Life Insurance Company's
bnilaing and is among the choicej5t properties in the
city, as all I he rooms are occupied by first-class i enants.
