TO ERECT BUILDING HERE.
PENNSYLVANIA ROAD, IT Is SAID, WILL
HAVE A SIXTEEN STORY STRUCT-
URE IN CORTLANDT-ST

II was learned yesterday from well informed
source that the purpose long cherished by the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company, Of erecting a
building in Cortlandt-st, running from West-st
to Westinghouse, was at last about to be car
ried into execution. The company has for several
years had at West and Cortlandt SITS. a two
story building which ii has used as a means OF
approach to its platform crossing west-st. to
the ferry house. Now, it is said, 1t has completed
negotiations for the purchase of the remaining
six buildings on the Cortlandt-st block and for
the property in West and Washington SITS. sep

Building. and will before long demolish all these
old structures and erect a sixteen story office

entire block in Liberty-st., between West and
Washington SITS, and the Pennsylvanias new
building. when erected. will take up the rest OF
the square bounded by Cortlandt, West Liberty
and Washington SITS.
1t Is understood on the best authority that
the Pennsylvania Railroad has leased a
floor Of the sixteen-story building which is now
in course of erection by the American Exchange
National Bank. at the northeast corner of
Broadway and Cedar-st.. and which is to be
completed within the next six months In view
of its acquisition OF control of the Long Island
road and it's purchase of important interests

to establish an office here; but one could be
found yesterday who believed that the chief ex-
ecutive officers of the company would remove
their headquarters from Philadelphia TO this
city, except possibly the treasurer. 1t Is said
that the offices leased in the American Exchange
