Perhaps the Largest Holder of Reality

Potter Palmer, who died in chicago
Sunday suddenly from the grip, leaves
wealth estimated, in round figures, at
100000. 1t is principally in Chlca
go real estate. A few days ago MI.
Palmer scheduled personal property
amounting approximately to $1,250'-
1000. A year ago he scheduled per-
sonal property amounting to 100000
His wealth may be summarized as
|follows:
Palmer House block .......$ 3,5OO,DOO
Property south Of Harrison
street and other miscellane-
GUS holdings 49,. 5OO,oUO
North side real estate $3.50. 3,OOO,OOO
Personal property scheduled 100000
Other possible property -. 1,75O,00O
IOCal Q1O,oVV,0o'
Mr. Palmer's most valuable piece OF
real estate is the Palmer house block,
at Monroe and State streets. At one
time this property was held at ST.
100000 and it is now one of the most
valuable real estate holdings in chi
cago Mr.. Palmer was credited with
owning almost a mile Of real estate
along State street His fancy always
was for real estate investment. In
recent years, however, he has gradual
ly sold his State street properties,
retaining, it is said, many lots south
OF Sixteenth street.
After the fire Mr.. Palmer began
purchasing real estate on the north
side, his most valuable real estate
holdings there being on the Lake
shore drive. He had it is estimated
100 houses built on streets running
into the drive. The value of these
properties is estimated at between
$51 900 and $4,000 each.
Prior to the fire Mr.. Palmer con-
sidered his holdings so scattered that
he could afford to carry his own in
surance. When the fire swept every
thing to the ground he was left with
the bare property and without insur-
ance for the buildings. This con-
siderably restricted his financial re-
sources for time, and it is related
that before he could finish the Palmer
house he was obliged to borrow money
from the Connecticut Mutual Life IN
surance company to the extent of ST..
500, OOO
1t had been Mr.. Palmer's intention
to lease the building for hotel pur
poses, but when it as completed he
found that he was unable to find a
lessee, and in consequence he went
into the hotel business himself. He
proved to be remarkably successful
| hotelkeeper, and the property has been
recognized as one of the most valu-
able in the United States. The life
insurance loan has long been liquidat-
| ed and no incumbrance runs against
the property.
The Palmer house is one of the
sights of the north side. 1t is es-
| tlmated that the building cost $780,
000.. Indeed, it continued to run into
money to such an extent that Mr..
Palmer, it is said, >Old his bookkeeper
to enter no further charges against
the building, as he did not wish to
know how much it would cost.
Little is known of Mr.. Palmer's
holdings in stocks and bonds. 1t is
presumed that he owned a consider
