Sale af the Altman Sixth Avauue Store. 6TH AV.—One of the most Important real estate transactions closed In this eity was consummated late yesterday afternoon, when Benjamin Altman disposed of his entire holdings, the site of his present place of business, to Henry Morgenthau and J. B. Greenhnt. The property has a frontage of 184 ft. on Oth av and about 481 ft. on 18th and 19th sts, containing over 88,000 sq. ft. of ground floor space, making it the second largest collected retail dry goods site in thi.s city, the Siegel-Cooper property being about 2,000 sq. ft, larger, and the third largest in the United States, Marshall. Field & Co.'s, of Chicago, being slightly larger than the Siegel-Cooper site. The sale includes all of lhe buildings composed of the beautifully equipped dry goods build¬ ing now occupied by B. Altman & Co., as well as the new granite flreproof stable on 18th st. With its large electric light plant, pneumatic system and other machinery, it is one of the best equipped stores in the city. Possession will be given to the purchasers on or about September 15, when Mr. Altman will open his new store at .34th st and 5th av. The purchasers should have no difficulty in finding some reputable dry goods merchant as tenant. Many have been looking to get into New York, but the difflcuity of collecting a sufficiently large site iinder one roof, in a desirable location, is well nigh impossible. The property just sold has a full block front on Oth av, midway between 14th and 23d sts—the greatest shopping centre in the world. The eight large dry goods houses now located there spend annually two millions of dollars in newspaner ndvertislng, and, combined, do a business of ovev fifty million dollars per annum. "The station of the Sixth Av L" is at the corner of 18th st, in front of the property; the proposed McAdoo tunnel, now in the course of conslruction, which will bring all the Jersey trolleys, the Brie and Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Ry. trains into the city, will have an entrance into the building, and the proposed subway in Seventh avenue will also have a station at the corner of ISth street. With the many bridges to Long Island, proposed and in the course of erection, and the numer¬ ous tunnels both under the East and Hudson Rivers feeding into the heart of the city, for an area covering fifty miles in diameter, this section is destined to become greater and more important as a retail dry goods centre with each succeeding year. Mr. AH man began "business on this gite thirty-five years ago, and his business grew and developed until to-day it is the finest and largest retail dry goods store in the city. The price at which the property was held is two ^million five hundred; thousand dollars, i 1. . NORTH OF 59TH STREET. MANHATTAN ST.—Du Bois & Taylor, in conjunction with Max Marx, sold for Sarah C.
