to start construction as soon as possible.
He has always been his own builder, and
intends to plan the third addition to his
hostelry. The site to be improved is
39.4 feet wide, with a depth of 95 feet.
The sellers have held the property for
about six years. The new addition will
increase the bedroom accommodations
by 150 rooms, bringing the total up to
about 1,000 rooms.
To Build Wall Street Bank.
One of the oldest buildings in Wall
street, west of Pearl, is about to be re¬
moved to make room for a modern three-
story banking structure which will oc¬
cupy the lot 26x100 at 68 Wall street.
Construction will begin March 1, the
building to be ready for occupancy about
September 1, 1917. The improvement
will be made bj' the Hochelaga Realty
and Development Co., which has made
long-term leases with the Standard Bank
of South America for the two upper
floors, and with the Bank of Montreal,
which will take over the ground floor in
connection with its present quarters at
64 and 66 Wall street. These leases were
negotiated by Edward A. Arnold, who
was the broker in the sale of the prem¬
ises to the present owner a year ago.
New 43rd Street Theatre.
William A. White & Sons have con
eluded a transaction as a result of which
a new theatre will be erected in West
43rd street by Henry Miller for the pres¬
entation of his own plays. A client of
Masten & Nichols, attorneys, has pur¬
chased the property at 124-130 West 43d
street, making a plot with a frontage of
85.9 feet and depth of 100,5 feet, which
has been leased to Mr. Miller for twenty-
one years with renewal privileges. The
property is just east of Broadway and is
part of the plot accumulated some years
ago by Felix Isman, as a site for a large
theatrical enterprise, which later, how¬
ever, failed to develop and the property
reverted back to the previous owners.
Mr. Miller was represented in the trans¬
action by Babbage & Sanders, and the
sellers of 124 West 43d street by Walter
B. Hopping. The amount involved in
the sale, lease and the erection of the
new building will approximate $1,000,000.
Sale of Unique Shaped Plot.
Joseph Silverson sold for the Washing¬
ton Heights Realty Company, to the
Regnis Construction Company, Gustave
Schneider, president, the block front in
the south side of 172d street, between
Fort Washington and Haven avenues.
The property is unique inasmuch as it
is practically all frontage, measuring
189.4 feet in 172d street, 26.4 feet on
Fort Washington avenue, and 59.6 feet
on Haven avenue, the southerly line
measuring about 372 feet. The buyers
will build on the site two si.x-story apart¬
ment houses. A building loan of $190.-
000 has been obtained. Each house is to
contain accommodations for thirty-two
families. A feature will be that owing
to the shallowness of the plot all the
suites will have street frontages. The
houses will be ready for occupancy next
autumn. Stoddard & Mark, as attorneys,
represented the sellers, and Gettner, Si¬
mon & Asher acted for the purchasers.
Sale Near Washington Square,
Pepe & Bro. sold for Eugene Gerbe-
reau, 124 Washington place, a three-story
and basement private house; also 181
West 4th street, a similar structure run¬
ning through the block, to Alfred B.
Maclay. This is the third time the prop¬
erties have been sold through this brok¬
erage firm in the past eight years. The
buyer also owns No. 126 and 128 Wash¬
ington place, the latter being the former
residence of his grandfather. In the rear
portion of the lot of No, 128 is a small
building two stories in height, which'was
erected about eighty years ago and occu¬
pied as the elder Mr. Maclay's stable.
About eighteen years ago, when the sec¬
tion was clianging from residential to
business, the plottage at 130 and 132
Washington place, running through to
4th street, was sold to the Dental Com¬
pany, which erected a ten-story building.
At this time the concern endeavored to
purchase the adjoining property and it is
reported that an offer was made equal
