Remains OF Old Astor House
May Soon Be Removed

The many who have looked up at the
empty and neglected remains of the
old Astor House and asked what is to
become of this part Of the old land
mark may have their curiosity satisfied
in few days. A deal is pending for
the property and a closing is expected
within few days. The story is that
the deal is as good as closed, but
rumors are not always to be dependeo
upon.
The property is owned by Baron AS
tor OF England. Baron Astor, or rather
his son, Captain John Jacob Aston, has
sold off several valuable properties in
the downtown business district since
the first OF the year. The first released
from the control of the family WAS

tion work
Despite the number of homes under
construction or in contemplation, the
housing situation in Westchester is
acute, and continued heavy building
programme for several years to come
seems to be the only solution of the
problem. A conservative estimate
places the needs Of the county at
5000 new homes.

Aston.
The story is that the Waldorf Astor
end of the old Aston House is now
about to go, and that the site which
comprises half OF the Broadway block
from Vcsey to Barclay street, is to be
improved with a commercial building.
The lower half OF the Astor House
block was improved several years ago
by, Vincent Aston, cousin of Captain
John Jacob Aston, following the com
pletlon of the subway loop through the
property. The tunnelling necessitated
the remova! OF the building, which was
so old that the engineers feared it
would collapse on the diggers. Vincent
Astor could remove only the lower halt.
which was all he owned under the
terms of his grandfather's will.
This division of ownership is found
IN many of the best known Astor prop
critics. The Aston building erected by
Vincent Astor has been financial sue
cess and great asset to the section.
