EVANS BUILDING ARCADE
SHOWS TREND OF TIMES
Miniature Highway From Street to Street a
Time Saver for Business Men
Other Arcades in Prospect.

Although the arcade which leads
building into New York avenue has
been opened for the better part of two
| weeks, so that the structure itself is
not an entirely new thing, the arcade
| Is interesting as a type of modern city
development of which 1T offers the first
illustration in Washington Arcades
which lead from one thoroughfare to
another are found in the business GEN.
tiers of many of the larger cities. and
experienced operators in city property
have declared that arcades are a mate
rial asset to the property in which
they are placed. In the present in
stance the construction Of the Evans
building arcade represented a cost to
the Evans estate of fully $4,000, and
while this investment apparently offers
no immediate return upon the addi-
tional money involved in the improve
able value in conserving the invest
ment in the Evans building.
1t Is true that the management of
the Evans estate has still larger plans
In view, because there is in contempla-
ton the construction of an addition to
the Evans building. which will carry
this structure at it's present height all
the way through to G street. When
the arcade improvement was projected
the Evans estate secured a f1ve-year
lease on the two buildings at 1413 and
1415 G street, the leases carrying a
proviso that the estate should have
the privilege of the purchase of the
property within the five years at a
stipulated figure. In a measure the
securing Of control of this G street
property represented a step for self
protection taken by the estate, since it
precluded any new building enterprise
on G street property which might shut
off the light and air from the Offices
fronting in that direction in the Evans
building. Even If an addition is built
at the big New York avenue Office
building, however the arcade will be
preserved and in fact enlarged.

An Alsatian Tree of Liberty.
From the London Globe

From the London Globe.
The tree of liberty at Wissembourg, In
Alsace. has been condemned. It was
planted in 1892 conformably to a decree
of the national convention, to commence
rate the abolition of the monarchy and
the proclamation of the French republic.
OF course at that time Alsace formed q
part of France. and the tree was planted
amid general rejoicing. The oak 'waxed
and grew strong And is now van
pushed by natures laws. Having reached
its full strength the decline gradually set
in First the branches showed signs OF
weakness, and then the roots withered,
so as a precautionary measure the tree
which has stood for 1l9 years Is to dis
appear.

Booth Shops Next Development.

According to the plans of the Evans
estate the construction of the addition
to the building over the G street prop
erty contemplates the widening of the
present arcade and the sacrificing of
at least one of the storerooms on the
first floor Of the New York avenue
building, so that the arcade may run
in a straight line from street to street.
Along it's sides there will then be pro-
vided a series of booths, or miniature
stores, very similar to the booth shops
which are found in the Mint arcade in
Philadelphia and in several of the ar
cades which extend from the Board
walk in Atlantic City to several Of the
more important hotels in the squares
adjacent to the Boardwalk.
The present arcade occupies only a
part of the building at 1415 G street.
The other portion Of this building,
which formerly was occupied by the
District National Bank, has been leas-
ed by A. G. Plant & Co, bankers and
brokers, and this firm moved into the
remodeled structure during the current
week The Evans estate does not ex-
pect at the present time to use the
property at 1413 G street.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1911-08-05

Local realty operators have freely
declared that the arcade idea has come
to stay, and 1t is expected the time is
not Tar distant when many other
blocks in the downtown business prop
erty will be bisected by just such con-
venient little highway. The impor-
lance to the business community of
even this one arcade between G street
and New York avenue cannot we'll be
overestimated, because it is an element
of time saving for any number of bust
ness men. who now find it possible to
go directly from the center Of one
business block to the center of another
without taking the time necessary to
walk around the three sides of the
square. In the not very distant future,
when the new Riggs building, at the
corner Of 18th and G streets, is COM
pleted, and Chase's Theater takes it's
place in that structure, the arcade will
be Of even more value, because Of the
then larger number of people who will
find uses for it. 1t is of value to the
Evans building. as it now stands, be-
cause fy it's use there is given to the
Evans building a direct exit and en-
trance tapping practically every street
car line in the city.
