REAL ESTATE GOSSIP. Fine Buildings Going Up in all Parts of the City. 4 LARGE FLAT BUILDING TO BE ERECTED ON 1, NEAR 16TH STREET—IMPROVEMENTS TO VICE- PRESIDENT MORTON'S HOUSE—OTHER MATTERS OF INTEREST. An extensive building enterprise has just been begun by Mr. W. C. Hill. He owns the vacant lot on the north side of I street, between Vermont avenue and 16th street, where an asphalt tennis court has been located for some Years. He purposes to erect upon this site a large and handsome apartment house. It be seven stories high, and will cover more ground than the Normandie, which is located on the block above. The main building will have a depth of 90 feet, but there will be a wing extending back 142 feet. The frontage of this tall building will be 53 feet. Stone brick and terra-cotta will be used in | the construction. The lower stories will be of stone and the urper of brick and terra cotta. Baywindows will relieve the otherwise plain i of the front and at the same time add to the attractiveness of the interior. There is an alley on the side, where there will be numerous windows. The suites will be conveniently ar- ranged and will be entirely shut off from the main hall. There will bea cafe and a large dining-room on the first floor, and the building is so arranged that it can be used as a family hotel. The architect is Leon z. The in- terior finish of the building, and in fact its en- tire construction. will be of asuperior char- acter snitable to the location. Mr. Hill is one of the largest real-estate op- erators in the city, and is each year adding to the many improvements given to the city by his enterprise and energy. He is the owner of the subdivision known a8 University Park, on the west side of 14th street, beyond Boundary, and he has spent a great deal of money in that locality. Last year he built no less than fifteen residences.eight of which were stone and finely finished. The houses on Chapin and Stoughton streets have been nearly all built by Mr. Hill. He is now engaged in building two stone houses on I4th street, near Boundary. The lower stories will be fitted up as stores, while the w per portion will be arranged as flats. A little farther above, on 14th street, at the corner of Stoughton, two stone residences are now being built by Mr. Hill, which, like all the other houses in the vicinity, have not only a hand- some exterior, but are fitted ie th the interior in good style. The eight brick houses which are now being erected on 15th street, beyond Boundary, are also the property of Mr. ‘Hill, and form a part of his extensive building en: terprises. A CONNECTICUT AVENUE HOUSE. The only vacant lot on the west side of Con- necticut avenue, between Mand N_ streets, is owned by Mr. David A, Windsor. He has determined to erect there a fine residence for his own use, and workmen are now engaged in exeavating forthe foundations, In contrast with the residences on that side of the avenue, which are built mainly of brick, the front of this house, up to the second story, will be rock- | faced brownstone. The upper portion will be built of brick with stone trimmings. A French stantial residence. The front will be broken with a circular bay window extending to the top. The entrance will be by an elaborate plat- forin stone porch and will be spanned by astone arch supported by clustered. stone columns. The open vestibule, will be lined with blue enameled bricks. The interior will be very elaborately finished in hard wood. A feature of the entrance hall, which will be wainscoted in oak with open timbered ceiling, will be a large brick mantel of handsome design, Mahogeny will be the finish of the parlor and library. In addition to the wainscoting, which prevails throughout the first floor, a heavy wood cornice extends around the rooms. The ceilings will be dome-shaped and richly decorated. Oak is the wood which will be used in the finish of the dining-room, one of the handsomest rooms in the house. Ash will be used in the upper floors. The bath- rooms will have floors and walls covered with white tiles, The honse will be heated with steam. N. T. Haller is the archite-t. A. M. BROWN'S RESIDE! 2. Another handsome residence in the same lo- cality is the one which has just been begun on the north side of Rhode Island avenue, just east of Connecticut avenue. It is being built by Mr. A. M. Brown for his own use, and adjoins the fine residence of Mr. James E. Fitch. The architect. Mr. John Fraser, has made a pleas- ing design for the front, It will be entirely of stone, and as a change from prevailing styles, as well as an effective material for house archi- tecture. buff Indiana limestone will be used ex- clusively, The entire front will be euriched with carving. A semi-circular bay-window is brought into an octagonal bay by carved cor- ners, and the projection is finished at the third story with an open balcony. Above the roof- line rises a gable. All the windows in the front will be of plete glass. The interior will be handsomely finished. All the wood-work in the first floor will be hard wood, with what is known as the cabinet finish. VICE-PRESIDENT MORTON'S HOUSE. Mr. Fraser is completing plans for the im- provements which are to be made to the resi- dence on Scott Circle recently purchased by Vice-President Morton. The most noticeable change in the present structure will be the ion of a one-story addition in the rear, ding all the way back to the stable. This will be the dining-room, and one of the most spacious in the city. The ceiling will be unn- sually high, and ‘nothing will be omitted to make all the details complete for the purpose for which the room is intended. The new room will open into the present dining-room by means of large folding doors, and beyond are two rooms extending to the front of the house. Acontinuous suite of rooms will thus be se- cured with a depth of more than 100 fect. The openings fror the hall into the reception-room will be enlarged so as practically to throw the two apartments into one, making a spacious hall with. the grand stair- case In the er. The main entrance to the house is under the porte cochere, and It is pro- posed to make an additional entrance on the same side, so that guests may enter the house and reach the dressing rooms on the upper floor without passing throngh the great hall and up the main staircase. When all the alter- ations are eompleted the house will be probably the most complete and convenient private resi- dence fur social entertainments in the city. It is proposed to enlarge the stable, which now occupies portion of the ground in the rear of the lot. A ROW OF FOUR HOUSES. Four houses are being erected at the north- east corner of New Hampshire avenue and L street. Two of these houses will have a front- age on the avenue and two on Lstreet. The plans of the architect, N. T. Haller, provide for a basement of rock-faced brownstone, upon which rests the brick walls forming the two upper stories. ‘The third story isin the French | roof, which is covered with buff tile. There is a tower at the corner and bay windows on the other houses, The interiors are finished in ash. ‘THE ST. CHARLES HOTEL PROPERTY. The capitalists who recently purchased the St. Charles hotel property at the northeast cor- ner of Pennsylvania avenue and 3d street paid about,#5 per square foot. The property has a fronthye ‘of G0 feet on the Avenue and. runs back 103 feet on 3d to B street and has a front- age of 70 feet on that street. The present building is not modern and the new owners have under consideration plans for the erection of a fine hotel building there. Mr. J. A, Prescott, the | real estate dealer who: made the sale to Henry j M. Baker and others, said to a Star reporter | that he believed a first-class hotel in that part | | of the city would pay. He was of the opinion that that part of the Avenue where property | has somewhat fallen into neglect would in the | course ofa few years experience a revival. He said that in the vicinity of the capitol | gradually coming back into the active market, |and he thought that the lower part of the | Avenue would share in the general revival. He | Spoke especially of the change in the square on | the north side of the Capitol park, formerly | ocenpied by car stables, and said that the in- | Yestments made there had proved to be profita- ble. The St. Charles property ee neees | from Mrs. Maury, the widow of John W. Maury, | who was at one time mayor of the city. He ac- quired the property in 1349. W. L. SPALDING’S NEW RESIDENCE. A new residence from plans prepared by T. F. | Schneider, architect, is to be built on one of the | three remaining vacant lots on the north side of Q street. between 17th and 18th streets, and sepa- rated by Commander A. D. Brown's house (which was also designed by the same archi- tect) from the block of 34 four houses which | Mr. Schneider is building for himwelf. This | house is for W. L. Spalding, and, although it is the 57th one designed by Mr. jider in this square, the front will be distinctive, The front uilt of stone to A : | roof covered with buff tile completes this sub- | | until that time. | Miss Zarate and Major Atom should fail to do there was a good deal of property which was | -room with a bay-window attheend. To the of the dining-room is the butler’s pan- try. The kitchen is in the basement, and there are three chambers and a bath-room on each of the two upper floors. The house will be heated by steam. ALDIS B. BROWN'S RESIDENCE. Mr. A. B. Brown is moving into his hand- some new residence on P street, near 16th. It has an imposing stone and brick front, 24 feet wide, and contains twelve rooms, elegantly trimmed in oak and cherry, and a wide wainscoted with oak paneling and a broad oak staircase. The house is heated by the hot water system, and was built by Emmert & Heisley. Mr. Brown isa partner of Mr. A. T. Britton, and moves into his house about two weeks prior to the completion of MR. BRITTON'S ELEGANT RESIDENCE, on 16th street, just north of Scott circle. Mr. Britton expects to occupy his house about the Ist of April. Mr. F. Langstaff, with his corps of decorators, are now busily at work laying the walls with delicately tinted silks. Between the mahogany beams of the ceiling of the pariors and the oak beams of the other first story rooms are plastic designs in relief, tinted and relieved with copper and silver dashes re- spectively. The carving of the hall and dining- room woodwork is in perfect harmony with the exquisite workmanship and designs of the mantels, The house is heated by the indirect system of steam and hot water combined. The house was built by Wm. P. Lipscomb. T. F. Schneider is the architect of both houses. ————___ COMING AMUSEMENTS. Axsavan’s Opera Hovse. ir.

MAJOR MOORE WANTS TO GET ONE MORE POLICE- MAN. Maj. Moore said toaSran reporter to-day, in reference to the talked of change of boundaries of police precincts, that he did not suppose anything would be done until the ap- propriations were available, July 1 next, when the force would be increased, Maj. Moore said that when he entered office he asked for_an in- crease of 100 men for the police force. He got ten men out of one appropriation; then he got an addition of 33, and the new i tie i provides for another addition of 56, making altogether 99 men. He is looking. he said, for a way to get the additional one man to make up the hundred he originally asked for. eee The Capitol Hill Post-Office. THE PRESENT QUARTERS CONSIDERED INCON- VENIENTLY SMALL. Postmaster Ross has not yet considered seri- ously the question of securing new quarters for the Capitol Hill branch post-office, for which, as stated in Tue Star, the appropriation has | been increased to $900.4 year. The rental now paid for the office, corner of 3d and East Capi- tol streets, is $260a year. The present quar- ters are too eontracted for the force of men employed .there and the amount of mail matter handled, Either the present place will have to be enlarged by the addition to it of the store rooms adjoining. or the postmaster will seek a new place. The postmaster thinks the office should be located with reference to conveni- ence to both lines of street railways that traverse Capitol Hill. ee Transfers of Real Deeds in fee have been filed as follows: B.

C., will hold its eighth an- nual session at Grand Army hall, 1412 Penn- sylvania avenue northwest, Thursday evening. Officers will be elected for the ensuing year and there will also be elected a representative to the supreme commandery, which will convene at Knoxville, Tenn., in May next. ‘The past year has been one of steady growth for the or- der, not only in this city where two new com- manderies have been formed, but in other parts of the land. Mr, W.R. Cooper. the supreme keeper of records, under date of March 13, writes that the new membership last year was over 3,100, and up to this time there have issued in 1889 | more than 900 certificates, with enough appli- | cations on file to make the number 1,000. Meridian Commandery, No. 178, expects to initiate seven candidates at its next meeting, Friday evening. They have already initiated seventeen since September 1, 1888, and in the other commanderiex, Capital Commandery will give an entertain- ment at Washington hall next Friday evening, There is some probability that this command- y will change its location soon and possibly its night of meeting also. kev.

Inauguration Specials Who Got Enough of Police Duty—Summer Uniforms, &c. Some of the specials who did duty during the inauguration do not care to become members of the regular force. Their ideas of police du- ties were so different from the reality that they became disgusted and would rather wear citi- zens clothes than blue suits and brass buttons. When their five days expired some of them had an idea that they were entitled to extra pay for extra services rendered, and claimed that they had performed more than five days’ duty. Their claims caused some amusing talks among the regular officers, whose hours for duty are “twenty-four hours a day and seven days in the week.” It is true that the officers have some little time at home. but they are liable to be called from their beds at any moment, and in times of excitement they aré required to spend most of their time at the police stations. This the specials could not understand, and many of them were under the impression that the eight- hour law should be applied. Last week notices were posted in the various police stations giving the information that the captain would be around this week on his an- nual tour of inspection of summer clothing, to determine who would have to purchase new clothing for the warm season. This notice set the officers at work, and for two or three days they were busy buying patent clothes-cleaning preparations, Many of them cleaned their own clothing. sewed on buttons, and used the flat- iron with the dexterity of experienced tailors. Those whose clothing passed a satisfactory ex- amination will save money, because they will not be required to purchase new uniforms, Those who have to buy new suits will have an oppor- tunity of saving next year, because they can wear the old clothes in rough weather and at night, and seve their new uniforms for the next season, During the twenty-four hours ending at noon to-day there were fifty arrests made. Thirty of the prisoners were white and twenty were col- ored. Twelve of the whites were locked up for drunkenness while there was but one col- ored man locked up to get sober. Since the inauguration there has been an un- usually large number of officers on the sick list. There are now twenty-two officers at home Lieut. Vernon is also on the sick list, He is suffering from a heavy cold. Now Is Tw Tie ‘To purify your blood and fortify your system against the debilitating effects of spring weather.
