$4,000, SKYSCRAPER
FIELD ESTATE FIFTH
Avenue PROJECT.
Mrs. Sage Bugs Block an RiUerside
Drire-Christian Science Church
Had Option on 1t.

The heirs of the Marshall Field estate have
had tentative plans drawn for a sixteen story
store and Office building for the easterly block
front in Fifth avenue, between goth and olst
streets. The site is said to be valued at $4-
100000. 1t has a frontage of 1877 feet on the
avenue. 164 feet on Both street and POO feet on
31st street The building to be erected and the
site represent an investment of S7.000,0OO.
1t was said yesterday that these plans do
not mean that such a structure has been de-
cided on. but indicate desire on the part OF the
heirs to reach an understanding as to what kind
of improvement would be most suitable for the
property. 1t also said that even after
plan proved acceptable to the heirs it would be
some years before the project would be car
ried out. Thus the present leases on the site
would not be affected by any action OF the
estate
Mrs Margaret O. Sage widow Of Russell Sage
bought yesterday through the Frank l. F1sher
Company the block front in Riverside Drive be-
tween 1O9th and 10th streets, for about 100000
The Whitlock estate the seller Mrs sage
also owns the block front on the northerly SIDE OF
1O9th street, between Broadway and Riverside
Drive and also the block front on the southeriy
side of 10th street Cathedral Parkway, be-
tween Broadway and Riverside Drive. In other
words this purchase makes her the owner OF
the entire block bounded by 109th and 11Oth
streets, Broadway and the Drive, with the eX-
ception of the Broadway frontage
Last week the First Church Of Christ Scientist
obtained an option to buy the Drive block front.
It was the intention of the church to erect on
the premises a structure for the especial use or
the members of the congregation who are un-
able to attend service at its home at 96th street
and Central Park West, the 96th street church
not being large enough for the needs of the
church. It was said that the house OF worship
10 be built on the plot would cost SSoe,0oo. Tue
church decided not TO exercise its option because
of rumors that the Drive block front might be
reedod for an annroach for a bridge TO New Jer-
sey.
The block front sold by the Whitlock estate
has a frontage of 179 feet on the Drive, I"l.'
feet on 1O9th street and 10S.S feet on Iloth
street. Mrs. Sage has loans on Manhattan real
estate aggregating over S2OOO0Ooo She has
not figured prominently as a buyer.
