for the recent advancement OF G street
into a most conspicuous position among
the prominent business avenues Of the
downtown section. I refer to the loca-
tion of the Union Station across @ street,
which makes of the latter a direct con-
Meeting link with the large business dis
trict which now radiates from Four
its common center.
Although the Union Station was fixed
as to location as far back as the Con-
gressional enactment OF January, 1903,
and it's influence on realty values was
appreciable in its effect on property
along both sides of G street, it is only
during the past two or three years that
a sufficient number of transactions have
been recorded to afford a materially
tangible evidence of this influence. Both
sides of G street, in the neighborhood
Of the Pension Office and internationally
from that point westward as far as
Fifteenth street, have been supplied with
modern business buildings, in many
cases through intelligent remodeling of
old structures. and In others by the de-
molition Of older buildings and their
replacement by entirely new structures.
Many Handsome BUILDINGS.
"As typifying this change in the char
acter Of g street, I might refer to the
fine new building Just erected at the in
tersection of Third street; the two series
Of stores on the north side OF q street at,
