Ian D AND BUILDINGS

During the past week the residence which
was formerly the home Of the late Mr..
Justice jackson of the United States Su-
preme Court at 1911 K street northwest
was sold by Fitch, Fox & Brown, real es-
tate brokers, in connection with c. G..
Sloan, to Mr.. Klein. 1t is stated to be the
purpose OF the new owner to put a new
front In the building and In other respects
make changes and improvements, and con-
tlnue the use of this property for residence
purposes.
Robert L, Preston, who owns lot on the
east side of 18th street between Massachu-
sets avenue and N street. CONCENTRATES
erecting there residence for his own USE
The location is directly opposite the build
ing which Mr.. Preston erected some years
ago, and where his school is carried on
Storage and Warehouse buildings.
The extensive building operations of the
Union Trust and Storage Company are
about completed, and as a result an addi-
ton has been made to the business facil-
tiles of the city which affords a striking
evidence not merely of their growing i'm
portance, but of their volume. There is, in
the first place, on the large tract of land
which this company acquired at LIST and K
streets northeast massive structure
which proclaims by it's solid walls and the
strength of it's lines that it is intended for
security and safekeeping. This is the COM
pany's storage warehouse and is nine sto-
ries in height, with basement and has
frontage on one street of 112 feet and OH
the other of ninety-tive feet
By means of switches which extend from
the main tracks of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad into the grounds Of the trust COM
pany cars can be brought alongside of the
building and unloaded, as we'll as along
the warehouses, immense one-story struc-
lures. One of the latter covers over an
acre of ground 1t is the purpose of these
buildings to afford a storage for merchan-
disc of all sorts, and upon such goods
warehouse certificates will be issued, thus
enabling merchants to pay cash when they
ma 1t to their advantage to do so. The use
of warehouse certificates as such was in
augurated here by this company 1t was
believed the adoption of this well-known
commercial device is warranted by the
amount OF business that is done here.
Some improvements.
