REAL ESTATE MARKET NEWS AND COMMENT

There are no houses Of their kind In
New York nor are there any 40 laid out.
ON a line 40 feet back the houses extend
from next TO the corner of Ninth avenue
west 70 Tenth avenue. Three stories
high. they are perfectly void OF orna-
nominations. except for pllasters reach
ing from che ground to the roof and
separating the windows. The forty feet
in front is laid out in lawn with a path
down the eide leading TO the gate at
the street line. II is one Of the few
green spots in that section of the city.
The restriction has a dominant effect
on adjoining property. Real estate men,
though admitting Il IL pretty, clam
more income could be had from the
section IL the restriction was not there.
On the north side OF Eighteenth
street, between Sixth and Seventh avc-
nuea there IL an interesting restriction
covering one house This provides that
a building cannot he built back more
than A. feet from street line nor 80
feet from the rear line Of the lot with
such limitations II would be impossible
to erect a tall building on tho property
No price can pe had for it az u conro-
uuence. except from the adjoining
owner. who controls the use Of the
property.
The same state OF affairs existed on
Twenty-fourth street in the rear o. the
Schermerhorn mansion. which used &c
he on Twenty-third street next to Eden
Nuaee. The Twenty-fourth street
property was resi- ricted 20 height and
against trade. When the Schermer-
hnrps Icf. Q'yenty-third street they
bought the properly at their figure
lifted tho ban ard sold Il together with
the old mansion to Michael Coleman
who erected loft building on the com

Courts were called upon by both sdes

saw the folly of retaining The old re-
striction against trade and lifted II from

1t might be- said, was IN accordance with
the views of the court which had de
cided that because of the evolution Of
the avenue the restriction could not be
upheld. So Columbia let down the bars.

Ike many Of its KIND was made to
protect the beauty of the block and NJ
The time no fault could bo found against
che purpose of the covenant. But time
has changed conditions and to-day this
protective measure Is no longer such.
The history ~ the covenant goes
back to 1896. Some time previous to
March OF that year tho Cord Meyer
family built the house at Il East SIXTY
fourth street. 1t was a model of archl-
tectural perfection as viewed in those
days. Big brownstone stoops were the
fashion In the early '90S. IL you wanted
an impressive appearing house stoop
had TO be attached. The wider and
deeper tho outside stairs the more i'm
pressive
Tho Meyers was one al those big
vide stoop houses That the stuop might
have the proper slInt the house had 20
be set back four fett from tho building
line. II neiGhbors were TO build out
beyond the Meyer house it, beauty
would be lost SO an agreement was
made with Alice G. Hubbert now Mrs.
SIcDougRl Hawkes.. owner of Is. and A
Sewbold Morris who held 10. not 70
build beyond tho face Of the Meyer
house They agreed willingly, as II
meant much 20 the block.
The protective measure OF 500 made

houses ont 70 the building tine on ad-
Joining properly. Charles steele rof

crty at II to - as a site for fine house.
He had hopes Of overcoming the set
back restriction on the easterly twenty
feet OF his sixty foot plot. MIR. Steele
planned 10 spend fortune on his new
house. Overtures with me Meyers,
dominant owners. 70 set aside the ra-
etriction met with 10 response. so MIR.
Steele gave up his building plans and
