PLAZA HOTEL SOLD, MAYBE.
Negotiations Begun and said TO he Closed
Successfully Price, % 900, 900.

A rumor was circulated yesterday that
the Plaza Hotel, opposite the Fifth avenue
entrance to Central Park, has been cold
for 5000 900. The property is owned by
the New York Life Insurance Company.
One Of the officers OF the company who
declined 10 allow his name to be used, ad-
mitted last night that negotiations have
been begun for the sale Of the hotel, but
refused to give any further particulars
concerning the pending deal. The broker
whom rumor connected with the ncgotia-
tions was equally reticent.
The hotel is an eight-story structure
covering the block front on the west side
of Fifth avenue, between Fifty-eighth and
Fifty-ninth streets. At the opposite Fifty
ninth street corners are the Netherland
and Savoy hotels.
The Plaza was started by Phyfe & Camp
bell In 1884,. with a building loan from the
New York Life. The builders failed and
the insurance company bought in the un-
finished building at foreclosure in 1888,
The company completed the struct ure. and
in the following year leased it to F. A. Ham
mond, who has since remained the proprie-
tor of the hotel.
The completed building is understood to
have cost the company 81. 100000.
