FIGHTS "SPITE" STABLE.
Owner OF Central Park Apartments 10
Turn Them Into 0fices.

Acting for Peter D. Dumont. Clarence
True, an architect. yesterday made ap-
plication to Building Superintendent MUIR
ply for a permit to convert into Offices
the two apartment houses owned by Du-
mont at 2o2 and 29S Central Park West,
where an Office building will be a novelty.
The radical chan ge proposed by Mr.. Ou-
mont is the latest sequel 10 the troubles
that have followed the building Of the So
called spite stable. boarding stable put
up last year at 2 West Nlnetieth street for
Samuel Green, real estate operator. Be-
fore that the street had been restricted to
private dwellings and high class apartment
houses and fats Protests were made by
the nsighbors that IL was an unsuitable
edIfice for the locality and would affect
rental and property values
Green had planned originally to erect an
apartment house on the stable site. For
the purpose he needed a narrow strip Of an
abutting lot on Eighty-ninth street. but was
unable to come to an agreement with the
owner. The building OF the stable was the
upshot Of the quarrel between the two
owners.
When the stable was finished last March
several owners OF property on Central Park
West put up high steel fences, shutting in
the stable. Both Dumont and his neigh
Dor, G. H. Darrow, Jr., who owns the apart
ment house at 294 and 206 Central Park
West, put up such fences, the Darrow
barrier being finished only last mon tn at a
cost OF 81 500.
