472 JIECORD AND GUIDE October 13, 1917 Fifth Avenue Corner in Trade. William B. May & Co. sold the large vacant plot at the south corner of Fifth avenue and 96th street, fronting 100.8 feet on Fifth avenue, and 150 feet in 96th street, in the Carnegie Hill section, for Sumner Gerard, to Oliver Gould Jennings, a lawyer. The property was acquired by Mr. Gerard several years ago from the Marsh Estate, and was valued at $700,000. In the same block are the residences of Ogden Codman, F. deR. Wissman and Lucy Drexel Dahl- gren. In part payment Mr. Jennings gave his former residence at 7 East 72d street, a four-story English basement house, held at $350,000. Mr. Jennings placed this property on the market after he had completed his new home at 882 Fifth avenue, just south of the residence of C. Ledyard Blair, and the Henry Clay Frick mansion. Mr. Jennings' latest purchase is in the heart of a district where during the past few years many fine residences have been erected. The block to the north, between 96th and 97th streets, is one which the late Mrs. Flagler-Bingham purchased two years ago with the view of erecting a fine res¬ idence, and this is abutted by the new home in 96th street of Mrs. Amory S. Carhart and Ernesto Fabbri. Obtain Building Site Option. The Buek Construction Company is reported to have taken an option on the two buildings at 51 and 53 East 60th street, forming a building site, 40x100 feet. If the option is exercised a build¬ ing will be erected designed for the exclusive occupancy of physicians and surgeons. Plans for this :trijcture are now being prepared by Herbert M. Baer, architect. It is understood that a com¬ pany of leading physicians and demists is being formed to take over the build¬ ing upon completion. Exact details re¬ garding the transaction were not avail¬ able yesterday. The property has been held at $110,000.
