REAL ESTATE GOSSIP Half a Million Dollars’ “Worth of Buildings Already Going. On. AS MUCE MORE WIL POLOW Conditions Evidently Point to an Improved State of Affairs. PLANS AND PROJECTS ——+—_—_ The fact that permits have been issued durirg the last three weeks for the erec- tion in the District of buildings which will cest in the aggregate about $500,000 may be taken as @ very strong indication of a busy summer’ for architects, contrac- tors, mechanics and laborers, anda good help toward a re-establishment of healthy. genditions in the national.capital. The permits already issued will not, by any means, embrace all the work that is to be done this year. At least as much more is already under way on the boards of ar- chitects, and capitalists ‘tepdrt # vigorous demand for loans:.the:money of which will be devoted to the improvement of property. The Star reporter ‘saw today tm the office of a well-known §rm ou. F street nine different sets of plans for substantial buildings in eligible localities for Which the prospective uilders desired to, get, well-secured loans. A member of the firm said he had 70 doubt all the inquirers.,woyld be accommodated. Upon inquiry this was found not to be an isolated @sse by any,.means., A. well-known Iccal architect also informed the reporter that he had drawn the plans for. twenty- seven dwellings, to be erected at once, but that they were: nat: far advanced enough to be given publicity. Many of the “real estate-dealers report rumerous inquiries for property of a fair character, but?-thése who:handie mainly gilt-edged realty are of the opinion that the market is very dull. It is said that a reason for this lies in the fact that auction ‘sales of real estate are more numerous now than they have been for seyeral years past, and that buyers prefer td také the chance of getting what they want at the lower prices usually obtained at such public sales than by securing-it through private means. A Sale of Significance. The only sale of any magnitude during the week, or perhaps ~signifieance would be a better word, was that of the lot on the east side of 14th street northwest adjoining the comer.of L.street.. This lot, which is improved by a frame house, fronts 26 feet_on 14th street and runs back for about 75 feet, irregularly, the rear portion being about 20 feet in'width. The lot con- tains 1,980 square feet, and the price paid for it was $14,300, or about $7.20 a foot. me jfrsons. are inclined to regard this as indicating a fall in values in'that neigh- borhood, as the Pope Manufacturing Com- pany not long ago paid $8.75 a foot for the lot upon which its new. building is now be- ing erected. This lot is situated on the east side of Ith street .midway between Hand I streets, and the reason such a price was obtained for it is said to be that the company wanted it very badly and the owner did not care: much: about selling. The figure which the lot sold this week bfought, when it was transferred by Wm. Reading and wife to Edward Murphy, is an exceedingly good one, when the cost of property in the same neighborhood sev- eral years ago is taken into consideration. In 1890 a very desirable lot on the opposite side of 14th street near I street was sold for $75 a foot. The recent sale, there- fore indicates that realty in that vicinity has risen in less than ten years nearly 109 per cent. Much Work im Progress. Many important improvements are under way, and a walk or ride through the city shows much work in progress: Ground was broken for the N. T. Haller apartment house, at the corner of J4th street and Welling place,;Columbia Hetghts, only four Weeks ago,'and yet the structure is now up to the fourth story. Work has been Progressing at a lively rate also on. the apartment house of Albert Carey, at the corner of 14th and Binney streets, but objection has been made to the height of the building, which is to be 73 feet, be- cause it will be higher than the width of Binney street, which is 60 feet. There is general criticism of rather a bitter char- acter on the parties who made this objec- tion against the structure, it beg de- clared that the rule Hmiting the height of buildings on residence streets has not been broken in this case, because Mr. Carey's structure fronts as much on 14th street as it does on Binney Street, and the latter thoroughfare is much wider than the proposed height of the’ building. ‘The building of the addition to 8. Kann, Sons & Company’s store. on Sth street and the work of reconstructing building 716 Market space, which will also be included by 8. Kann, Sons & Company in their establishment, areebeing rapidly pushed, and the substantial improvement will be completed in ample time.for the firm's fall opening. The result will be a very valu- able addition..to' the commbrdial buildings in a section where a great deal of business is done under the ttying“circumstances of poor accommodations in the way of store room and space. 2 - New Buildings. Barr & Sanner will at once erect eight brick dwellings at the northwest corner of Columbia and ,J3th,.streets, Columbia Heights. One dwelling will front on 13th street and seven on Columbia street. They will each be three gtpries in height, with a cellar, and have frontages of 18 feet and a eepth of 49-f They will “be built of cream hydraulic brick, will have bay win- dows and mansard roofs covered with slate and tin. The interiors are comfortably ar- ranged, and the dwellings will be steam heated. They will cost about $5,00u apiece. B. Stanley Simmons ts the architect. William Bruce“Gray has nearly comp‘eted the plans for the office building which Mr. Jcseph E. Willard will erect upon his val- uable lot at the corner of. 14th. and F streets. The building ‘will front 41 feet 7 inches on F street. and. 75 feet on 14th street, and will be six storfes and basement. The fronts will be of. Pompeltian brick, and the roof, which will be flat, of terra cotta ard asphalt. The building will: be “heated by steam.

The work of the summer home for sick and-indigent children at Colonial-Beach has been successfully carried on for two sea- sons, but under great diffleulties. and in- conveniences, owing tothe want of means to complete the large buliding-and make it perfectly comfortable for the little ones. A letter written by Bishop Satterlee tells the amount of money needed immediately to put the property in reasonably good shape for the coming summer. Some $1,500, it is thovght, should be expended to en- tirely complete the building, but the smaller amount designated in the letter would en- abie the board of lady managers to finish the porches and make the inside of. the building otherwise comfortable. Bishop Sat- terlee’s letter says: “I have entire confidence in the good and very valuable work for young children that is being done by the “Bell Home for Chil- dren”-at Colonial Beach, on the shores of the Potomac river. It. is most efficiently managed by some of the officers of the Daughters of the King, and the manage- ment has my full approval. The sum of $250 is now needed to meet outstanding liabilities, which have been contracted in providing necessary buiidings for the hun- cred children that were cared for this past summer, and $550 more will be needed to complete thcse buildings and put them in safe and habitable condition. I com- mend the object to the pecple of the dfo- cese of Weshington and others.” —._—_. Small’s Easter Flowers, 14th and G sts.; and 1153 Broadway, N. ¥.
