O F FI C E
For the SALE of R± AL ESTATES.
r 'T'o BE SOLD, by public vepdue on tie
premises on Wednesday the 20th day of July,
at 2 o’cl >ck in the afternoon, unless previoufi, dis
posed of at private file, two hits or parcels ot ground,
containing about eight acres, situated witinn the
city of Philadelphia, on both fid's of Saffafras ot
Race street, adjoining the east fide of the river
Schuylkill.
7 hole lots will be divided into forty two smaller
lots, each of which will have a front of about
thirty fix feet on a fifty feet street, and none of
them will contain less than one hundred and thirty
two feet in depth.
Also two other lots or parcels of ground, contain
ing about four acres, situated on both sides of
Mulberry or Arch-street, between the Front aid
Second directs from Schuylkill; .these will he divi
ded into thirty four smaller lots, having ftonts of
thirty four, thirty fix and thirty eight feet on the
streets aforefaid and none of them less than one
hundred and two feet deep.
Also one other lot or parcel of ground, situated on
the north fide of High, or Market-flitet, betweeri
the said Front and Second streets from Schuylkill ;
this will be divided into eleven lots, each having a
front of thirty fix feet on Market-street, and ex
tending in depth one hundred and two feet.
The situation of those lots, on and near the river
Schuylkill, affording an extensive prof e& both up
and down that beautiful ftieair , greatly recommends
them both for business and pleasure : The Citizen,
whose daily attention to bufiuefs, renders a more
remote retreat from the pernicious heats, which
prevail in summer inconvenient, ma, here fix his
family in a most healthy and delightful retirement.
On the front of the water lots a Shad Firtory has
been carried on with a good deal of success and
might be gre.tly improved ; and about 100 paces'
from the shore there is most excellent fiffiing ground
for Rock and Pearch. The water lots likewise as
s rd a convenient place for landing of goods, a id
there is a very easy afeent from the water to the
high ground: Stores might be built, and an ad
vantageous trade opened with those who bring their
produce down Schuylkill, and have no tolerably
convenient place for landing, and none for Coring
their goods; and should a communication be ef
fe&ed between the Susquehanna and Schuylkill, the
trade might become vere extensive : To t is may
be added, that almost all the water lots on the river
Schuylkill, within the bounds of the city, and for
a considerable distance above, are in the hands of
the Proprietaries, and m% probably there will be
no opportunity of purchafiog for many years. But
a view of the lets will recommend them more than
any thing which can be said in their praise.
Any person inclinable to purchase-the whole or
any part of the above, previous to the day appoint
ed for the public sale, may treat with Stephen
Watts, Esq; in Arch-street, or with
MATTHEW CLAPKSON,
EDWARD BONSALL.
Plans of the lots may be seen at Mr. Waits’s of
