RESIDENCE PARK.
The Baldwin & Howell syndicate
has decided to materially enlarge the
residence park, plans for which on a
smaller scale were about to be adopt
ed. At the last moment the owners
of several adjoining parcels concluded
to sell, and these tracts will be in
cluded in the proposed park. The ad-
ditional land acquired involves an out
lay of between $4,000 and $40, 900,
but as 1t greatly improves the SYM
metry of the park, the syndicate con-
cluded to make the purchase.
The largest piece included in the
deal was bought from Theodore H.
Hittell, his tract being about an acre
and half in area. The price is un-
derstood to be somewhere between
$4,000 and $4,000. These new
acquisitions involve quite a radical
change in the plan of the park, conse-
quently the competitive designs sub
mitted by the five architects several
weeks ago have been discarded and
others will be called for.
The area of the park now amounts
to about eleven acres. The increased
size will permit of much more elab-
crate scheme for adornment than the
original plan. The principal frontage
will be on First avenue. The wall of
the Presidio reservation will be the
northerly line of the park, while the
southerly line will run parallel with
Lake street and about 100 feet north
of 1t. The lots will vary in size from
SO to 100 feet frontage and will all
face on circular drive in the center
of the park. handsome stone en-
trance gate will be constructed on
First avenue, opposite Washington
street. The park will be inclosed by
an ornamental fence.
The center of the driveway and the
edges of the sidewalks will be adorned
with shrubs, grass and flowers, and all
street work will be completed and the
lots graded and put in shape for build
ing before the property is placed on
the market The park will be ex-
clusively for residences. the cost of
which will probably be limited to a
minimum of $500. Baldwin & Howell
state that they expect to place the
property on the market about the first
of the year.
The last of the vacant blocks for
merly owned by the Baird estate is
now offered for sale in subdivisions
by Lyon & Hoag. The property was
sold about two weeks ago and the
new owner has instructed the agents
to offer the property at private sale
in somewhat larger lots than is usual
IN such cases. The lots vary in width
from 25 feet to so feet. The property
has been made ready for building.
All the street work surrounding the
block has been done, including the
grading, sewering, bituminizing and
stone walks. The sale of the Baird
block. which has occupied about two
years, has resulted in complete
change in the appearance of the PAN
handle district. In place of the then
vacant land a large number of build
ings, all of which are of a superior
class, appear. Seven lots on Clavton
