Interesting Story Told of How
Ground in New York Was
Purchased.

An office building forty-fixc stories in
height is to he built in New York city,
occupying the entire frontage on Broad
way between Park place and Barclay
street. The property has been purchased
by F. w. Woolworth. and as it is his
intention to erect the building, the entire
expenditure, 1T is estimated, will reach
100000.
Mr.. Woolworth's account of how the
purchase Of the ground was made is
as follows:
Probably of as great interest as any
thing else, particularly to those inter-
estcd in real estate, will be the story
of how the plot on which the building is
to be erected was assembled.
THE Irving National Exchange Bank
had for long time been anxious to OBJ
tain a plot on Broadway for the es-
Enlistment of it's offices. /. az a mem
Der Of the board of directors, had looked
at several plots, one at Broadway and
Reade street. on which bank building
is now being erected.
That plot proved to be unsatisfactory.
and SO we looked for another. We heard
that the Mercantile Bank was willing
to sell the plot at the southwest corner
Oh broadway ana PaTk place. EDWARD
Hogan of the Office of John n. Golding
began negotiations for that and the ad-
Joining plot TO the south Without both
plots we could have done nothing. Final
ly the officers of the bank agreed to sell,
but the owners of the plot to the south
held off. l sat in my office one night
while Mr.. Hogan was at the office of
title company on Broadway procuring
signatures to an agreement to sell the
plot adjoining the corner.

Laid Out for Building Sites.

The square between New Jersey ave
nue., c, d and North Capitol streets was
laid out for eleven building sites in the
original plan of Washington. but it was
never used for residential purposes, and
in the early days it was totally unfit
therefor. In about 1852, however, it
became the site of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad depot. Situated at the
base of Capitol Hill which sloped down
to the Tyber. it was only a few feet
above its waters. In 1880, when the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad was laid
across this square from the northeast 10
the southwest corner and by way of G
street, it crossed the Tyber and ran into
a depot at the northwest corner of Penn
sylvania avenue and I'd street, which, I'M
til 1852, was the sole outlet for travel by
rail from this city.
There was little settlement near this
square, small frame house near the
corner OF New Jersey avenue and +
street, occupied by John Logan, who then
operated the mill on Tyber creek near
l. street; the residence of lgnatius Boone
near North Capitol and / streets and the
fine old mansion of Sam Burche, chief
clerk Of the House of Representatives. on
the southeast corner of New Jersey ave

Stream Was Unsightly.

a stream which crossed judiciary
Square and struck Indiana avenue at
Sd street united with the Tyber at lst
and Indiana avenue. and. being in an I'M
slightly gully, did not add to the appear
ance of the ncighborhood although il
vas in keeping with the hog pen on the
north side OF the avenue east of ID
street.
To add to the inconvenience. both the
Tyber and the Indiana avenue streams
overfiowed sometimes. and on at least
two occasions consldera bic damage was
done. In 1S3S the first broke from it,
banks in the neighborhood of the census
office, and. sweeping the square south
carried away the fencing of houses front
ing on Pennsylvania avenue, and so I'M
dermined the back building Of the noted
Andrew Jackson tavern as TO wreck il.
In 1856 the Tyber again broke loose and
Foy's Hotel. at New Jersey avenue near
d street. was completely wrecked and
washed down the stream.
In 1852 this square was taken as the
site of the depot. for at that time, Con-
gress having determined on gra ling and
grareling New Jersey and Indiana ave
nues. and covering the stream in the first
named, the grade was raised several feet
rendering the use of the avenue depot i'm
practicable. The business of the railroad
had increased, more room being needed
and, owning this square on which be-
lore Udu IeeIl iOcdl6O an engine mousse
a depot was erected thereon This was
completed in 1854 and was the city's only
outlet north for nearly thirty wears and
one of the two until the opening of the
Union station. Not long after the OPEN
ing here it was necessary to expand and
freight buildings were erected on the
square northeastward. Some little settle
ment followed the location OF the depot
here. but there was no great improvement
until war times.
Important Point in War.
Needless to say that from 1851 to ls,i5
it was an all-important point President
Lincoln had been inaugurated, but there

In every portion of the District military

then the center of interest, and large
crowds were about the depot day and
night. number of Pennsylvania troops
had gotten safely through Baltimore but

There is only a little of the original
topography of that section Of Washing
ton between the Capitol grounds and the
Union station to be seen, owing 10 the
streams having been changed to sewers,
the low places filled in. hills cut down
and the plats of squares changed by the
alteration of street lines to conform with
the lines of the plaza in front of the
station. And though there but little
settlement north of street until long
after the middle of the last century, much
of this territory has an interesting his
tory, dating back to the days when in
front of the station flowed a stream
which had its source near Is endall Green,
and the Tyber, from spring near Rock
Creek Church, coursins through Swan
poodle flowing between the present sta
ton and North Capitol streets and at +
street taking a southwest course.
The descent from the high ground to
these streams was irregular. as may be
seen from the elevation at the northeast
corner of North Capitol and streets
and the depression east of Delaware ave
nue. between c and D streets, which alone
remain at the natural grade. 1t was
country then for the city boys who wan
dered along the banks of the stream and
were interested in watching the few trains
