Morgan's Corner at Less Than 500, 600
Maurice f. Cass. of the firm Of +.
II. Ludlow & Co., formerly one of the
most active auctioneerng concerns i'll
the city, said that the Morgan corner,
at Wall and Broad streets, regarded as
the most valuable in the world, was
sold by the Ludlow firm to Drexel &
Morgan some years ago for something
less than 100000. He said that a
Ludlow advertisement explained that
it WAS frst-class property, which
proves that the Ludlow firm stood for
no deception in advertisements, be-
cause the corner has proved to be ali
that the ad said Of it.
1t is hard to estimate the value Of
this property. Every expert III the

wide world is there a parcel of its
size that can command q greater price

price paid at auction would be more

starting next to the Beaux Arts cor
ner, lots sold for 1856 down to s305 as
they neared Fifth Avenue. The latter
property, Of course, was not full depth
A gore parcel on the south side of the
way, l45 feet west Of Fifth Avenue and
having frontage of 990 feet on the
street, brought s7C5, which was re-

those days. A twenty story office
building now covers this frontage.

The high price paid for lots in this
block at the auction sale of March

of j. Clarence Davies, was 1880, which
