CASTOR HOUSE SOLD

NUE. PROPERTY,
Fine Old Residence Changes Owner
sbip.--No Plans Are Prepared
For Any Early Improvement
On Lot.

A real estate deal which has been
hanging fire for several months was
compile ed last night when papers were
signed by which NJ w. Stuart OF this
city, purchased the property at the
southeast corner of Dexter Avenue and
McDonough street. which has been the
home of Probate judge ]. B. CASTOR for
more than thirty ye@fs. The cash con-
Alteration in the transaction was $751;
900.
The price which was secured for the
property furnishes a strong example
of the rapid Increase of real estate val
ues in Montgomery, In line with the
1910 movement of the city. Some
months ago, when the new Young Mems
Christian Association building was still
In contemplation, II is reported that
the Castor property was offered to the
movers In the project for S10.500. This
Is an advance of almost seventy-five per
cent in less than two years.
In making the purchase, Mr.. Stuart
said last night, that the transaction had
been carried through by him on, the
further advance of Dexter Avenue prop
erty.
II believe he said. that this thor
oughfare will be Improved considerably
In the coming few years. and IT was
with an eye to the prospect OF con-
templated improvements that have
made the investment.

the landmarks of Montgomery. has a
