THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIB,nEj SUNDAY NOVEMBER 17, 1872. ‘REAL ESTATE. The Demand for Cheap Lois Continues. Prospective Low Rents for Stores and High Rents for Dwellings. Suburban Lands ard Horse Railways. Building Notes and Real Estate Trans- fers for the Week. It wonld seem that, if anything would depress gpeculation, stop eales, and check the advance in prices of real estats, the present stringency of money which prevails all over the country, Poth East and West, wonld do it. But, thus far, “we are unable fo find in the resl estata market mny éffect of the pressure for ready mouey that s affecting sll other branches of business. There has undonbtedly been a falling off in the ‘yolume of transactions lately, but it appears to e ettributable solelyto the horse-disease, which ‘preventa people going out to see suburban lands, and, consequently, checks the speculation in that. class of property. The demand for chesp residence lots, at from 8400 to £1,000 each, is fully as good as it ‘was twomonths ago, and this wonld still stimu- inte speculators to buy Iands by the acre and subdivide into lots but for the reason mentioned, “This demand for cheap residence lots comes ‘trom Iaborers and mechanics who are resping s golden harvest from the rebuilding of the city, .and, as Jong as they continue to earn money at ‘present rates, it seems probable they will con- ‘tinne to invest their surplus earnings in real estate. DNMost of them after buying a lot fora home will buy another lot to epeculate on, and though these small purchases are necessarily made at a large advance on the price paid by the acre, by the larger speculator, it is, after ~ all, the safest an most profitable investment lor apy person not familiar with trade. Even at the ‘Prices paid for these lots, the average profit of the investment in them-~for a period of five or ten years is undoubtedly greater than the aver- age profits of trede, even when it is conducted by shrewd business men who control fair amounts of capital. A It ia now well understood that the increase in the demand fcr cheap residence lots during the tlast six months is attributzble mainly to the in- wcreased earnings of the wage-receiving class, and partly to the southwestward movement of the large manufacturing establishments, which ¢has induced the workmen in the factories to fol- low them and find new homes near their work. It is plain that whereas the business buildings now being erected are completed, we shall have enongh stores and more than enough offices to meet all the requirements of the business public for a year, or possibly two years. It is therefore ot likely that there will be any considerable _smount of building in the business quarter next snmmer, and it might be argued that, with the decrease in the amount of work to be done, the ‘extnings of the Iaboring clesses would decrease, and this, in turn, bave its effect to diminigh the 1demand for chesp lots next summer. It mustbe ‘Temembered, however, that the pressure fo re-instate the business district this ear has cansed the building of dwellinga to be neglected, and that next year the earnings of the laborers and mechanics is likely to be nearly as large in building dwellings a8 it was this year in erecting business buildings. ‘There is, in fact, now & TARGE DEMAND FOR DWELLINGS, worth from $8,000 to $15,000 eech. This is not only apguent inthe inquiries at the real estate * offices, but, a8 an instance in point, we have a Jetter from a new resident saying that he knows of twenty-geven families who are ble and would prefer to buy houses rather than rent, if they ;conld get what would suit them ‘within the Tange of prices sbove mentioned. It is -quite _certain that the demsnd for this class of property will be greater Rext soring then now, The prospect of low zents for stores and offices, while it may be un- ‘Extisfactory to owners of business pmé:eny, will - induce many more people to come to Chicago to - go into business than would come if store rents were high, will help to increase pngulution, and 80 be the means of increasing the demand for & medium class of dwellings. The kind of prop- erty available for g LOCKS AND DWELLINGS 38, therefore, likely to be in good demand next snmmer. There 18 a large area of this class of wacant ground within a radius of, say, two miles from the Court House, which has advanced ggnrpe!y any in price for a year past, but which, view of the demand for actual use next sum- Juer, will probably be in request. BALES OF SUBURBAN LANDS hevebeen checked by the hcrae-disease. Never- theleas, we hear of negotistions pending for large tracts in various: quarters, Among other tracts sold this week wers : Eight acres in Leo's Subdivision on West Lake street, a quarter of a_mile east of Central Par] for $37,500. This price, however, is_con aidere Jow, and none of the land west of it as faras Central Park could be bought for the same price. A ireae many seles of all clnsses of property are, however, delayed on account of the DIFFICULTY IN GETTING ABSTRACTS, It now costs three time as much and takes four times a3 long o get =an ab- stract, or “opinion” of fitle,” a8 the abstract men are pleased to call it, as it did before the fire. The same cause delays ‘the consummation of & good many loans, and altogether has s bad influence on real estate trangactions and on the supply of money. SUBURBAN RAILROAD ESTENSION. ‘We believe that 2 horge railway will be con- structed next spring on Reuben street, from Ar- cher avenue southward io the Boulevard on Fifty-fifth street, rnnning%n connection with the cars on Archer avenue. e Company is formed by owners of mperk{mon and near Reuben street, who wisely gee that this is & certain_way to increase the value of their property. A large share of the stock is already subscribed, and the whole of it doubtless will be soon. A NEW MANUFACTURING DISTRICT. Mr. 8. J. Walker has_constructed a railroad 4rack & quarter of & mile long, running north- eastward fromthe C., C. & 1. C.Road, parallel with, and & block south of, the South Branch of Chicago River. The object is to increase the facilities of that cection for manufscturing pur- poses, and encourage the growth of a manufec- turing :fi\ma on the southside of the South Branch like that now being built up across the siver, balf & mile north of the property in ques~ tion. 'BUILDING NOTES. Our proepective neighbor, the Journal, will be 1o occupancy of its admirable premises ia two ‘months. e roof is nearly on. The steam- ‘hesting apperatus is in order, and the building will presently be shut up and warmed for finish- ing operations. MANSARDS, PRO AND CON. We print the following from s weli-known cit- izen and property owner, thongh we would, at the same time, suggest that architects ehould 1ot be held entirelyresponsible for the construc- tion of buildings. They furnieh designs, but, in nife cases out of ten, the owner modifies the construction to suit the length of his purse. The same design for 2 building or a Toof, may be carried out in wood, or stone and iron. In ope cage it might be 2s near fire- proot as city buildings can be made; in the other, it would be & mere tinder-box; but in both cases the structure would ;present very much the ssme appearance 0 a su- perficial observer, and this is all that nine- tenths of the property-owners care for. As for ‘Mansard roofs and partition walls, they can be made much less inflamable, even when construct- ed of wood, if the spaces between the studs are Alled with mortar or cement. _Editor of The Chicago Tribune: Tns%: The Boston firagm demonstrated that 10 city in the world is fire-proof, orcan be made 8o effectuslly, save t,hn:n%7 its means of extin- guishing fires. It has been proved that the Btrongest materials will burn. i Chicago fire wes & lesson, by which wo hove, to a slight extent, profited. The Boston fire is to us, and to the whole country, & positive proaf that stone _walls, however thick, are no adequate protection against the terrific force of 5 general conflagration. “That any city may burn up has been most un- jestionably demonstrated. It signifies nothing fhst the external walls aro of prone. In our fire, 88 in the Boston fire, the great stone staries, after their inflammable contents were Sgnil were found to be £0 generative of heat t no Fire Department could spproach them with safety. This proves that our means of ex- finguishing fires are exceedingly weak and de- fective. = Just after our great fire, it was supposed | in buildings of this that, if every building should have its external walls constructed of brick, we should enjoy a comparative immunity from firo.- In the light of the Eeston conflagration, we can see in brilliant colors the forco of this fallacy. Frame buildings are easily extinguished, or can be easily torn down. These really are the most, énd only, fire-proof buildings. Our pres- ent fire-engioes can extingnish fires originating 58, But what, [ ask, can_our fire-engines doin case a fire should originate in the top of any of our high buildings ? ~ What can they do but sur- vey with wonder and alarm the conflagration be- yond their reach ? Trwo years ago the Drake Block was destroyed. The fird took place in tho Mansard roof. The entire Fire Department wason hand, a powerless witness of the awful -scene. Notwithstanding the absurd opinion- of one of the architects in this city that fires only burn upwards, this fire did burn downwards, 80 rapidly that bat a small EVOI‘;‘MH of the contents of the block were saved. sr?a was this ‘stupendous architect at that time . v The' architects have nothing to do with this question. They are interested parties. Last fall they indorsed tar roofs; and now they in- dorse the Maneard abomination,—in ecenrdance with their own interests, it is true, but sbsolutely contrary to all sound rules of architectural beanty and of the Eublic safety. I would ask of any one or all of these self-opininpated individ- uals, whether the architecture of Greece or Rome warranted such horrible perversions from the standard of classical taste. The truth is, conceited and ignorant architects ‘burned the City of Chicago, and also burned the City of Boston, They were -tho true_incen- diaties; and, whatever they may esy in defence of tarred roofs or of Mansard roofs, the common gense of the people condemns, and is absolutely o[;psaefi to their ridiculous and absurd notions, They know, and time will prove, that thess things are combustible absurdities. This city is now in great danger, not from the multitude of frame buildings, but from the high and combustible architectural buildings, which, ‘when they once get on fire, are beyond the power of our Fire Lepartment to extinguish, as they are beyond its reach. 1 esy again—and I sayit witha feeling of deep sincerity—that our only comparetively fire-proof buildings are the one and two story frame build- ings of thepoor. A town composed of such buildings was never yet burned, nor ever will be; an instance cannot be named. 1t is theso lofty buildings, with a “lumber- ard” on top, that have done the damage, bath ere and in Boston. Who the deuce cares about Paris? Maoeard roofs are a nuisance here, and that is enough. ‘We have no means whatever of extinguishing fires that originate in guch lofty places. If the ‘wind blows, & universal conflagration is the con- sequence. They are beyond our reach. What could we doin case the Pacific Hotel or Sherman House shonld take fire in their sky-lifted Man- sard roofs 7 What could we do but look on in wonder and apprehension. In such & case. should there be & gowerful wind, what could prevent a wide-spread and terrible confiagration? Certainly, these wonderfully-wise architects, -who contrived the plans by which the old Chicago was burned, and who defend tarred and Mansard roofs, could do nothing to aid us. The city would burn in spite of their intolerable concsit and immeasurable ignorance. Before our great fire, there was not & eingle Tespectable piece of architecture in this city. ‘This may sound harsh, but it is true. Where was there & building beyond mediocrity? Com- pared with tbe highest standards, what is thers now that is sv_very remarkable? There are a number of buildinge of fine materials and of good proportions ; but even theso are, in most 1instances, marred, and the effect destroyed, by ‘meretricious ornaments, that in Greece or Rome would haye been deemed ridiculous. The citizens of Chicago are beyond thelr archi- tects. Our architocts have yet & great deal to learn; and it would be both wise and modest for them to begin with the rudimenta. When one of them attempts to criticise the grand and mag- nificent plans of the new Post Oftice, he should certainly be able to furnish better evidence of his own genius than the wretched building on the northeast corper of Madison and LaSalle streets, which is about as flimsy and absurd a piece of architectare as New Chicago affords. Mayor Medill is moving in the rght direction, slowly, but, I think, with certainty. This city can be made & fire-proof eity, not by using any particular materials, or by the efforts of any set of small-minded architects in collusion with tar or Mansard roofers, but by the energy and good gense of its own citizens, gusrding themselves against danger, and preparing judiciously and energetically for any emer%-,ency that may arise. Youra respectfully, . Esa1as WaRBEN. CracaGo, Nov. 14, 1872, To the Editor of The Chicago T'ribune: Siz : Have you room for one more suggestion respecting Manserds ? Yes? Well: Firat, they are ornamental, roomy, picturesque, and we can't well do without them. To make them * fire-proot ™ from the outside, cover the frame with 1-16-inch or even thinner iron, upon which put the slate ; then, with gal- Vanized iron saghes, sliding in_ brass-lined, gal- vanized frames, set in galvanized cornices, etc. 1 think the insurance companies will be satiafied, and the critics rest easy for a while. Iron covering wood has proved a very efficient protection against ordinary fires. Truly yours, PENROSE CEAPMAN. Careaco, Nov. 11, 1872, YESTERDAY'S TRANSFERS.
