1.-THE Caves" Will Pass Into Other
Hands.-The fertile, historic and picturesque
property known as 1.-The Caves in Balti-
more county, is about to be developed as
country residential settlement by strong syn
dictate which is in course of formation. Arti- |
Giles of incorporation of 1.-THE Caves Develop
ment Company" will be filed about September |
LIST, says the Baltimore american. This COM
pany has purchased the beautiful tract from |
Mrs. Celeste NJ. w. Hutton for about $4,000. |
Mr. Harry Preston, of the Baltimore bar, a
member of the firm of Gill & Preston, is now
engaged in the ardorous task of searching the |
title to the old property, and so soon as he |
completes this undertaking the incorporation |
papers will be filed, the deal closed and the |
Improvements will be begun.
The company proposes to divide the proper |
ty, which consists of 817 acres, into lots of |
% acres each, and will open it up as a new |
residential section, making fine driveways and |
avenues through it. The first work of the |
some highway, connecting THE Caves with |
Owings' Mills trolley line, which is within |
easy reach. The property is easily accessible |
to the Western Maryland, the Pennsylvania |
and the United Railways and Electric Com
panys lines. 1t is as desirable location for |
country residences as in any part of Green |
Spring Valley, and as the company expects to
acquire THE Caves for about $27 an acre, it
will undoubtedly be able to put the twenty |
five-acre tracts on the market at very low
price.
The best water in the country is said to be
procurable on 1.-The Caves" property, and the
company proposes to put the water on the
market as medicinal spring water.
Several years ago q Western syndicate
bought the water privileges at 1.-The Caves
but their plans did not pan out, and the mort
gage was foreclosed. This company paid more
for the water privilege at the time than the
new company will pay for the whole property.
1.-The Caves" is considered one of the finest
pieces of property in the State. For over two
hundred years and until recently it belonged
to the Carroll family 1t is situated near
Owings' Mills in the 4th district of Baltimore
county. The old Carroll homestead and about
twelve farm houses stand on the property.
A short time ago 1.-The Caves" passed from
John N. CarrolPs possession to that of Mrs.
Celeste NJ. w. Hutton on the foreclosure of
mortgage. There was long legal battle over
1.-THE Caves" the original proceedings having
commenced nearly eighteen months ago, when
ex-Mayor Latrobe began foreclosure proceed
ings, on behalf of Mrs. Hutton. The property
was put up for sale as whole, and bid in by
Mrs Hutton at $4,000 contest resulted
ur1d .s COAST -sfeees "a -etify .he selA
ground that the price was insufficient, and that
the property should have been divided up and
sold in order to dispose of it at better advan-
tage. In obedience to the court the property
was divided up into five farms and again put
up for sale, when Mrs. Hutton bought it for
$4,000. The court also refused to ratify this
sale. and the case was taken to the Court of |
Appeals, which tribunal sustained the decis-
ion of the lower court. The property was
then subdivided into ten farms and again put
up for sale, when it was purchased by Mrs.
Hutton for $50, 900. Another legal contest
followed, but this time the sale was sanctioned.
The property was then conveyed 10 Ms.
Hutton.
1.-THE Caves property, many years ago, sold
for $4,000 to a syndicate which was formed
to develop the iron deposits of the place. The
project did not go through, and on foreclosure
proceedings the place reverted to John N. Car
roll.
He Objected to the Costs.-This week
