CHICAGO'S GREAT NERVE.
Western Capitalists Talk of Put
ting Up a Big Building Here,

A report has been recently circulated
on upper Broadway and among real-es-
tate agents, that Chicago syndicate
Is contemplating the purchase of the
block bounded by Twenty-fifth and
Twenty-sixth streets and Broadway
and Fifth avenue, and the erection upon
the site of mammoth office building,
with stores on the ground floor.
A brief investigation discloses the
fact that the building would have to be
whale to compare approximately with
the dimensions of the undertaking. Sew
eral large new buildings wiuld have to
be bought and destroyed, and considera-
tons allowed for years OF ground lease
to several wealthy and prosperous oc-
cupants that would make the scheme
one of such fabulous cost that not
even the nerve of Chicago would con-
template II without hinchng.
The block in question faces Madison
Square upon Its southern side, where
the Madison Square National Bank
Building stands. 1t would be an ad-
mirable location for big building, for 1t
is as nearly entitled TO be called the
very heart of New York as any other
spot In the city.
on the northern end stands Delmon-
ico's restaurant. Next to that on the
south is Redfern's dressmaking estab-
seven-story, white stone building of
the Meriden Britannia Company, the
large jewelry store of Theodore B.
| Starr. Schauss's art store and the bank.
Mr.. Delmonico could not be seen, but
| the clerk at the desk said that the
| ground site belonged to the Montgomery
| estate, and that Mr.. Delmonco had a
| lease good for a half dozen years yet.
| Mr.. Redfern said that he had lease
| for the same length of time, from Dean
Hoffman, but that no one had come to
| him to buy 1t. The Meriden Britain
MIA Company stands upon land belong
| ing to Mr.. Darling. of the Fifth Avenue
| Hotel. They have a long lease. and al
| though they have heard rumors. no one
, has asked them yhat they want for 1t.
| The Madison Square Bank is closed,
but Mr.. Hurry, in Henry Clewss office,
! upstairs. said that he had not been
| told that the house was to be torn
| down. Mr.. Vanderhoof in the adjoin-
! ing office. said that vague rumors had
\ reached him, hut that he thought the
purchase of the property out of the
| question.
Mr.. Darling. of the Fifth Avenue Ho-
| tel. is In Europe. but Manager iNlas
said that he had often heard the scheme
talked about, but never heard names
mentioned.
1t was heard in several places that
| the projected edifice was going up on
| Cas%ell, Massey's corner, but no one in
| the drug store knew anything more
than that they had heard rumors.
