MES. GEORGE W. CHILDS HOME HERE portance of the Manufac tures of the City. SOME IMPROVEMENTS More than a passing intrest is attached to the purchase which was closed during the week by which the widow of George W. Childs of Philadelphia became the owner of @ fine building site. Independent of the con- sideration that Mrs. Childs will be an ad- dition to the class of people of means who have been making their permanent homes in this city and will be a desirable resident, the terms of the transaction gave consider- able gratification to those who are interest- ed in the solidity, or rather the continuance, of that well-known characteristic of the real estate market here. Mrs. Childs se- cured not only a generous building site, but she paid a generous price for it, in fact, just what the owners of the property had fixed as its selling price Jong before what is known as the period of depression had ar- rived. The lot has a frontage of fifty-three feet on the north side of K street, just east of 16th street, with an average depth of 119 feet to a 30-foot“alley. It contains 6,467 square feet, and the price paid was $38,802, which is at the rate of $6 per square foot. caly Coeteel Wat ae somely improved by the spacious home the widow of ex-Senator Zach. ‘Chandler, Was owned by the same parties from whom Mrs. Childs bought her lot. They sold this property to the present owner about five years ago, and obtained for it $5.50 per foot. it is, however, a corner lot and contains nearly 12 000 square feet, having a frontage of over 100 feet on each street. On the next block west and on the south side of likely rather strong hands. At any rate, whatever may be the explanation, it is evident that ia this locality at least values remain rather The Palmer Property. The change of ownership of the residence of ex-Senator Palmer of Michigan, which is located on the north side of McPherson square between Vermont avenue and 15th street, may be cited as another illustration of the value which is attributed to property in that locality. This case is not as con- vincing as the others, for the reason that it was not an out-and-out sale, but a trade. It is difficult to get at the real considera- sions 55 by 120 feet to the transaction at nearly This, of course, is merely estimate, but it is not believed to be an excessive one. It is easily within the recollection of those who have not been long in active or familiar with real estate values in this city when five or six dollars per foot for residence property would have been looked upon as among the impossibilities. At that period, not so remote, either, euch a price would have been as excessive for property in a good business locality. The fact of the matter is that the situation here as to real estate values has 80 rap- idly that it is difficult to realize that the conditions are the result of the legitimate de- velopment of the city. Nowadays ten and fifteen dollars per foot, and perhaps more, are looked upon as reasonable prices for business property, while it is not consid- ered at all extraordinary for forty, fifty and sixty thousand dollars and upward to paid for a single residence site. Mr. Leiter alone paid over a hundred thousand dol- lars for the ground where his residence js located, and there is no doubt but that this record will be passed by some one who is able and willing to put up even a more elaborate home than that of Mr. Leiter. Our Manufactures. The surprising extent of the manufac- turing interests of this city was revealed to perhaps a majority of the citizens in the statistics gathered by the late census. It was not supposed generally that there were manufacturing establishments here which in the aggregate employed many thousands of men and turned out annually a product valued at several millions, but this is the case, and it is evident that these —— are growing in numbers and It is not thought that this city will over become a great manufacturing center or 4 * i g | is seen in the large bi noted for its productions, but still, in a very important way, it will continue to give em- ployment to a great many, and by its man- ufactures add to its material wealth. An instance of the way in which many of these establishments yw in importance which has just conn saved 0 ee Se — Arthur place, opposite the This is @ structure of brick, feet front and 100 feet in depth and four storiés in height. It is erected by Mr. A. O. Bliss, who is engaged in the manufacture of pat- ent medicines, and while he does not occupy the entire building for his own businesa, yet he uses a considerable portion of it. Extensive Building Operations. An interesting statement has just been completed by the inspector of buildings, which shows the estimated aggregate values of the building operations in the District for the past ten years. The total amount is Placed at $66,456,891 and is divided among the different years as follows: 1884, $3,829,- 682; 1885, $4,007,234; 1886, $5,283,272; $7,109,624; 1888, $6,209,004; 1889, 20s TAB; ey $7,752,733; 1891, ‘$7,804,301; 1892, $8,088,- 504; 1898, $9,205,832. Some New Buildings. Peter M. Dubant proposes to erect a four story and basement structure, to be known as the Cambridge flats, on I street between Sth and 6th northwest. It will contain eight flats of four rooms and bath each, and im the basement there will be a dining room. Plans for a residence, to be erected for Mr. J. J. Shedd, on Rhode Island avenue be- tween 15th and Ifth streets, have been pre- pared by Mr. James G. Hill, architect. It ‘will be @ three-story structure, with a front of light-colored brick and stone. ——— Ladies’ Physical Culture Class. ‘The class of young ladies who are study- ing physical culture at the Carroll Insti- tute gymnasium under Prof. Joyce gave an interesting exhibition before a lot of ladies Thursday afternoon. Under the leadership of their instructor they went through an interesting program of exercises, which tn- cluded somersaults, pole and ladder climb- ing and a game of basket ball. Prof. Joyce, who is an able acrobat, gave a fine display of his skill as a contortionist. > —— Lew Rates to Baltimore yey B.
