The story of the construction and open

illustrate the wonderful changes which

Manhattan within the past 10 years, some
OF which tell of the discovery of n by-

very valuable and some which disclose
the high perfection to which modern ma
chinery of the kind utilized in building
construction has been brought
The plot of ground upon which this
hotel stands was for years an open SQUARE
occupying a complete city block. The
Vanderbilts owned it. At one time the
trustees Of the Metropolitan Opera House
company entered into contract with the
VaDderbilts for the purchase of the en-
tire square, with intent 10 erect upon it
new opera house which would compare
favorably with thes world famous opera
house of Paris. After the bargain was
made the trustees were apprehensive that
they had made a mistake, and when they
told the Vanderblts of their fears the
contract was immediatly cancelled
For years the square WAS practically
an open, although a private park. The
Nanderblts of the earlier generation
would never have dreamed that upon that
lane the New York Central railroad
would aid in the financing of what is ex-
pected TO be one of the worlds famous
and most popular hotels.
