Eryan L. Kennelly, auctioneer, wi.l sell at auction at the Ex¬
change Sa'esroom, 14 and in Vesey st, on Monday, May 27, 1:^:1
lots and villa plots, being a portion of the Powers estate,
situated on Broadway, West liJ^d st, Fairview av, Wadsworth
terrace and Broadway terrace. The property to be sold lies at
about the highest point on the island of Manhattan, and over¬
looks the Dycliman tract and tlie surrounding country. Build¬
ers will find that the lots situated on Broadway will be at¬
tractive for business and apartments. That part of the prop¬
erty lying on Fairview av and Broadway terrace is particularly
suitable for improvement with dwellings, for which there is
a -growing demand in that section of tlie borough. The entire
property is accessible by trolley and subway at a five-cent fare.
Grading, curbing and flagging on Wadsworth av, Broadway
terrace and West l!.).5d st have been paid for, and since the
title of the land in the streets luentioned has been dedicated
to the city, purchasers will not be assessed for Street opening.
Tire terms of this sale admit of 70% of the purchase money to
remain on bond and mortgage for 1, 2, 3 or 5 years at 5%, and
the purchaser will be allowed the convenient privilege of paying
off his obligation on 30 days' notice. The liberality of these terms
and the splendid situation of the Powers estate will doubtless at¬
tract a large gathering of buyers to this sale. (See advertisa-
ment on another'page of this week'.s Record and Guide.)

,5TH AV.—Through the combined efforts of Parish, Fisher & Co.
and Albert B. .Ashforth, the holdings ol Harry J, Luce. President
Acker, Merrall & Gondii Co., al southeast cor 5lh av and 53d st. iu-
cludnig 007 to 071 5th av. 00x109, and the adjoining property, 2
..i3d st, 25x100.5, were sold to a syndicate of artists during the week.
The parcel contains about S,.500 sq. ft. It is the intention of the
purchaser to erect upou the site a co-operative studio apartment,
and since the parcel acquired is one of the few in that locality un¬
affected by restrictions the new owner is enabled to proceed al
once with the undertaking. It will be remembered that Mr. Luce
purchased the property in September, 1300. from Robert Seoville
at a figure approaching $850,000. The plot is diagonally opposite
the mansions of the Vanderbilts and close lo the site recently ac¬
quired by E. H. Harriman at northeast cor 5lh av and 52d st. It
is conceded by those who have made an intelligent study of the
studio or co-operative apartment idea that no raore suitable loca¬
tion for such an undertaking could be found. The structure planned
is of tbe duplex type aud will contain 12 stories wilh stores ou
ground floor and is estimated to cosl $1,000,000. The announce¬
ment coraes in lhe nature of a disappointment lo the owners of
really in the immediate vicmily who have for so long a period suc¬
cessfully thwarted the invasion of business and apartment build¬
ings by purchasing all similar unrestricted parcels. No definite
price in the present Iransaclion is slated, but it is known Ihat tbe
holding price was -I!!,2.50,0(10.
