REAL ESTATE NEWS.

MI. Frederick D. Linn, proprietor OF the
Hotel Washington, has purchased, as The
News exclusively told two days ago the
very valuable property or the south east cor
ner of Washington and York streets, and
contiguous to the hotel.
The price for tho piece, 45x50 feet, was
$18, 900, and Mr.. Linn now owns a tract, in
Guiding the hotel grounds, of 100 feet on
Washington street and l25 feet on York
street.
It is his intention in the course Of a few
months to tear down the old buildings and
build on the vacant plot a seven or eight
storied fire proof building with probably
stores fronting on Washington street. The
hotel thus enlarged will contain a large bill
lard room, q ~cofnmodious b~anQueting hall
and a salon suitable for balls and receptions.
Mr.. Linn Is going to transform the present
extremely comfortable and cozy hotel into a
building bearing the anne relation to Jersey
City as the Hotel Waldorf does to New
York. y
In the now enlarged hotel there will be
elevators, and the building viii be fitted
with steam heat and there will be numerous
open fireplaces. In fact, it will be furnished
in the latest mode and made a SORT OF jim dc
steele hotel.
The effect Of the location of the City Hall
is making itself apparent. The ~neighbor-
hood viii be devoted almost entirely to busl-
ness. During the past two weeks the ground
floor OF two Grove street houses were con-
verified into stores. On Montgomery street
below Grove street all the old houses are
being ~remodelled. On Montgomery street
above Grove street private houses are also
being turned into stores. Dealers, generally,
are of the opinion that Grove street is des-
tined to become the big business street. Ar
lington avenue boasts of some of the p~rettiest
cottages on the Hill.
