The student of apartment house architecture will
find nowhere a richer field for the study and OBJ
servation of the progress that Is making In the
building of apartment houses than the West Side

SALE OF THE OLD UNITED STATES HOTEL
RECALLS IT'S EARLY HISTORY.


One Of the most interesting real estate deals last
week WAS the sale Of the old United States Hotel
II was sold at auction on Wednesday to William
] Rlodgett one of the heirs, for s164.0O. The de-
tails Of the sale were printed in this paper few
days ago.
The hotel is a six story and basement building. or

of 100 feet In Pearst about rs feet and in Water
st of about IS feet. 1t opened in 1882. ana II
came TO be known among the New-Yorkers or
that day as .Holts Folly from the name of Its
builder and owner, who laid out far more money
on the place, it is said. than the demands OF the
day seemed to warrant
While he was building the hotel Mr. Holt con-
ceived the idea of drilling for water under the
structure, for that was In a time when municipal
waterworEs We're still afar off. and the water used
for drinking carried around in carts and de-
vered by the tubful He bored down about three
hundred feet, proceeding that cost much money
in the sos. but found water. The enterprise
ruined him. and justified those of that generation
who had dubbed his hostlery ''Holt's Folly.
When Holt became bankrupt. a result of his
enterprise the hosiery acquired by Carleton
& Bro. and by them conducted until shortly after
the war, when 1t bought speculation by Hill
ton & Stokes. They relied upon seeing Fulton-st
widened all the way to Broadway, to correspond
with the breadth between the river and Water-st
basing their hopes the Tweed regime. In one
way another however, their dreams did not real
ize, and the hotel closed for two years.

since under the successive administration or Iru-
