the value Of real estate in Atlantic City
is at its highest point, owing TO the rapid
development OF other places along the

on March 20, 1852, Chancellor Runyon.
on motion OF Henry S. Little, counsel for
Mr.. Penrose, made the necessary order
for the sale. The sale was duly adver-
tlsed to take place on Monday. July 10,
1852. and on that date was held at the
Chester County House. The property was
bid I'm by II. O. Ward. attorney for f. A.
f. Penrose, for the sum of $4,000.
This was regarded as a big price for
the land. Everybody said that none but
the father OF the heirs would have given
such a fabulous sum for the property.
How little they knew OF the future OF
Atlantic City is known we'll in the present
generation.
Take that 325 feet along the Board
walk, with 100 feet in depth. and figure up
it's value to-day" said a resident Of At
lantic City. Land between New York
and Kentucky avenues is appraised at
1900 a front foot. The corners are worth
more But just take II in its entirety ar
the rate OF 81 900 a front foot and you
will see that to-day that land is worth
81 10000.
This leaves about 400 feet Of front
on the east side OF Kentucky avenue, OF
varying depth. and this is easily worth
another 100000 IL not more. Therefore.
the land which Mr.. Penrose purchased
out OF the goodness of his heart for
mere pittance, is worth to-day princely
fortune"
