TUM BLOCKfl OF F1FTH-AVE FKOPERTY
FASS To HIM AND C. A OOULD
It waa learned ye.*tcrday that the two h!o,-ks
frontlng on Fifth-avc. between N'inetieth and |
Nlnety-aecond ata., aold a we.-k ago, were
bought hy Andrew Carnegie and f'haries A.
Oould, preaident of tbe National Car Coupler
Company. The property has oost the two In
veatora nearly S1.ixmi.ihiO. What they purpo.-e
dolng "lth It Is kept a seer-t for the prc_c..'.
just as the Identlty of the l.nvers has been from
the time the sale was made until the present.
Among real eatate men a rumor whieh flnds
much eredence is. however. that the pouthern
hl'ii-k of th" two. that between N'inetieth and
Nlnety-flrat ata., ls deatlned for a puhhc build
Ing "f aome kind. while <>n the upper block Mr.
Onuld and Mr. Carneste wlll build new homea
aldc hy slde. Mr Oould, lt !s said. is prepared
to apend .<i.(?>.(mwi on thc hous.- he will build,
and Mr. Carni-Kie's new dwelllng wlll he no lesn
elaborate.
Nelther from Mr. Carneple nor from Mr
Gould, howevet, ean any hint of the intentlons
of either he obtained at prese-it Mr. <"'iould.
when seen y.sterdav. while ndmittlnff that he
was Interested In the purchase, even d.nllned
to give thc name of the lnvestor w'10 was Jolntly
concerned with him. He refueed also to say
what they would ?!" wlth the property when
it was rcady. thoi.irh he promised to tell in a
few days. The hr ikers coiieerne*i. however,
when asked dlrectly if Mi. Carnegie was not
une of the two purehasers of the property, de
,'11*:..,'. to d^ny the rumor. but Intlmated that
It might be eorreet. Mr. Carnegie htmself, they
?ald, was the only person from whom a posl
tlve statement must rome. He could not be
found last evening.
The two pareels in the deal eontaln thirty lots,
Eaeh has a frontage of 200 feet on Fifth-ave..
and about the same depth. The lower one was
?old for about M80.000. The upper block. pur
chaaed from several stnall owners, is believed
to have cost rather more. Many options hav
been taken on nelghborintr property on rumors
*>f this deal, and it Is llkely to be followed by a
boom ln the dlstrlct.
