Property
TRANSFERS OF THE WEEK

One Of the most important transac-
tions in the real estate market for
some time, important from the fact
that it involved more money than any
that has been recorded for sometime,
was made this week when DR.. Joshua
A. Ellegood sold to Russell H. Dun
ham the house at No. 1903 Franklin
street for $12,25O. This house has for
sometime been DR.. Ellegood's residence
and it is now understood that Mr.. Dun
ham will have the place remodeled and
fitted up into one of the most hand
some homes in the city. Mr.. Durham
is the we'll known head Of the account
ing department of the dupont Powder
Company.
DR.. Ellegood in turn has purchased
the house Of Mary A. Cobb on the west
side Of Broome street, north of Tenth
street. The price paid for this struc-
ture was $4,000. DR.. Ellegood will
make his home in this house in the
future. Both transactions are among
the largest to take place in this city
for sometime.
Despite the fact that this is sup
posed to be the dull season for the
real estate men the number of trans
fers recorded this week was larger
than it has been for several months for
a similar length Of time. Many Of
them were important ones, and the
amounts involved much larger than is
usually the case.
Important among them were several
sales of the properties held in the
estate of the late William NJ. Drein.
He had houses in all parts Of the city.
but these are being disposed of as rap
idly as possible by the executors.
The building world is rather slug
gish at the present time, as nothing
new has been started within the last
week. The holiday season, Of course,
accounts for this fact, and it is not
thought anything will be done in build
ing until after the first of the new year.
