on lOGth street. Mcs>rs. Stewart Il Smith haveA
much envied reputation for building good and clev-
eriy arranged houses.
Between West End avenue and the Boulevard on
the south sile Of ln2d street is still another row.
These houses are being built by Mr. Peter Wagner.
VINO for tACnty ycar' has been erecting fine dwell
hhgS on the West side. He was most active in ths
Seventies. and his houses are much sought after by
CAREFUL BUYERS because Of he reputation he has
gained for thoroughuess. due t. his c instant super
vision and attention to every detail OF construction.
Real estate men on the West Side are unanimous in
stating that nothing - shodd - ever finds It's way into
Mr.. NaSner's houses. These houses are all OF the
American baS"menttype. handsomely done through
out and arc certain to move quickly.

You get a splendid view Of Central Park. Looking
west is the Hudson River and Jersey. In going
through this $. londid building you cannot but feel,
as You visit the different apartments. but that You
are going from one private house to another, so
complete are they in every detail. For instance. tho
four large main rooms can he thrown int one for
reception purposes. The kitchen is large and light,
al also the dining room; the laundry and drying
room. in tho basement, has every convenience OBJ
ta!nable, while those who object to indoor
! drying for linens can Use the roof, which
is SO inclosrd that nothing can be seen
from the street. The house Is OF white In
dana limestone and has been wired through
out for electricity; complete telephone system has
been supplied. while two electric elevators make all
floors first floors. To the investor and u the man
who leases an apartment it will be of interest to
know that lo6th street west to the Drive is restricted
TO private dwell ngs. and. since a very high price 10
being demanded for this property. ii will be readily
understood that speculators cannot afford to build
cheap houses for rent. Good houses must be built,
and in consequence they will undoubtedly be occu-
pied by owners.

proof its entire occupancy can be stated, than to
say that Daily 4 Carlston did the buildinr. Messrs.
Daily X Carlston are Of New York's most successtul
builders. having been connected with the building
line ten years. It is proverhial that their houses ara
never vacant and are usually quickly sold. We feel
sure that this house will be no exception.

1881 streets. cXrsvat ng having been completed for
