BANK 70 COST 100000.
First National of Chicago Will Build
Costly Edifice,

Chicago, Dec. 2S.-The First National
Bank of Chicago announced yesterday
that II would build on its present site
and on land adjacent, to the west, an
Office building to exceed in size and
outlay any structure in the west, il not
in America.
After a series of negotiations which
had their beginning year and half
ago the bank has secured the Mon
tauk property at 115 Monroe street and
the Thayer estate property adjoining
on the west and north. The new struc-
ture is to occupy the sites thus ac-
quired, as well as the land on which
the present building. at the northwest
corner of Dearborn and Monroe streets,
now stands.
It is expected that the new building
will be sixteen stories high and win cost
about $3.000000. 1t is to have trout
age OF 1891 feet in Dearborn street
and 231 1-3 feet in Monroe street, and
will take in the twenty four foot alley
on the west of the present bank build
ing, known on the map as Custom
House Place. This alley is a private
court, title to it going with adjacent
property, 1t is held.
Altogether the transaction is the
largest and most important carried
thru in the hi4tory Of real estate in
Chicago and will involve an expendi-
ture of about 100000. Including the
site of the present bank building,
which is under long term lease from
the board of education, the entire in
vestment will approximate s5,0O0,000,
The project actually is to be carried
thru by the National Safe Deposit COM
pany, which is owned by the bank. It
Is under this corporation that the pres
ent bank building is owned and con-
| trolled.
