Among the Brokers.
The recent changes among real estate
brokers include the following: The H. r.
Howenstein Co. has removed it's offices form
the McGill building on G street between
9th and 10th streets to 1914 F street, in the
quarters which were last occupied by the
real estate exchange, the latter having
moved east on the next block Mr.. How
enStein has now larger Office rooms.
Mr.. Charles G. Simons, who has been for
number of years past in charge of the
real estate department of the business of
NJ. M. Parker, has opened an office In the
Davidson building, 1413 G street. Mr.. ST.
mons carries with him not only the esteem
of Mr.. Parker. but also the business In this
line which Mr.. Parker had, and which he
gave up, as he no longer wished to con-
tinue that department
Masonic Hall Building.
1t is expected that at the next session os
Congress application will be made for
such an amendment to the charter Of the
Masonic Hall Association as will enable
that corporation to dispose of the property
which it controls at the northwest corner
Of 9th and F streets northwest. This Is
the Masonic building which was erect
ed some years ago for the Masonic
bodies and which is still in use by
large number of them. Now, however,
that building site has been bought for
the purpose of erecting a temple which will
be designed especially for the use of the
Masonic lodges the upper portion of the
present structure will probably be no longer
needed for such a purpose. AT any rate 1t
is thought by the directors of the company
that it would be wise to place themselves in
a position to be able to sell the prop
erty in the event a purchaser appeared. To
do that 1T is said, it will be necessary to
get authority from Congress in the form Of
an amendment to the charter of the asso-
citation.
A Row of Houses.
A row of seven houses is to be built on
Cincinnati street, between 10Th and Goth
streets. Each house will contain ten rooms
and two baths and the fronts will be made
