A feature is the heavy brick walls

in summer and warm in winter.
Throughout the building modern
ideas for apartment house conveniences

Good Showing

All during the past week the real es-
tate deals that were closed and regis
tered seemed to multiply, and with each
sale evidence was injected that values
have a higher tendency and that the
demand was active for income paying
properties.
The first of these sales was closed
on Monday by Robert A. Rowan & Co.,
and embraced the Stowell block and
the adjoining property on the north
known as the u. c. McGarvin prop
erty. The property has frontage of
100 feet and extends 144 to the east
this four-story brown sandstone front
building and the property Eugene Ger
main, local capitalist, paid $405,O0O
cash. AS the building is valued at
$4,000, this price fixes front foot
value of $3250, being the highest price
ever paid for inside Spring street
fronts. This property was purchased
by a local investor, and shows that
local faith in Los Angeles is still pre-
eminent. AS the property is well rent
ed, Mr.. Germain has purchased for a
permanent investment, and he has de-
termined to withdraw the property
from market. In this connection the
information is proper that the McGar-
vim property is being rebuilt to con-
form to the Stowell block; that
both buildings will be remodeled in the
interior, and that they will be thrown
into one building.
Main and Fifth
That Main street property remains
popular with investors is shown by

owned by DR.. II. West Hughes
and Henderson Hayward, to To-

with a four-story building.

Among the interesting sales of the
week completed by r. A. Rowan & Co.
was that for Mrs. M. ]. Turner of Gar
vanza. who sold her property on South
Spring street for about $4,000 to the

Fifth and Central
Another sale reported by r. A.
Rowan & co. that attracted attention
was the property owned by Mrs. Eu-
dora H. Caddigan on the southwest
corners of Fifth street, Central and
Ceres avenues. The purchasers were
Frank S. Hicks and Frank Griffith
who paid about 100000 for the lot and
Improvements, that comprise three
story building known as the Hotel
Matson. This property is opposite the
entrance to the Arcade depot, and R..
A. Rowan says that as soon. as the new
union depot there is begun this prop
erty can rank among the choicest in
that section.

property is improved with three frame
cottages of small value, but the merit
of the property can not be, discounted.
Ninth and Flower
Peter Hack has sold to Scotch syn
dicate, represented by Alexander Nc
Keigan, an improved lot, 90x130 feet, on
the northeast corner of Ninth and
Flower streets; consideration 100000.

on the east side of Los Angeles street,
100 feet north of Eighth street. The
property is improved with cottage
and fourteen-room house. The pur-
chase is held as an investment, and as
that part of the city is expanding the
front foot price is regarded within
proper lines.
