building To Be Erected by
ID. Nj. Linnard, Between
5lst and SD Streets, at
a Cost of S7,5OO,OOO

New York is to have a new hotel. 1t
will cost $7,5OO,OO0, be seventeen
stories high and cover an entire block
on Park Avenue, just north of the
Grand Central Terminal.
Daniel NJ. Linnard, one of the best
known hotel proprietors on the Pacific
Coast, owner of a number of large
hotels along the California seaboard
IS to build it. He has purchased as a
site the block front on the east side Of
Park Avenue from Fifty-frst to Fifty
second Street. 1t will be his first in
New York and his second on the East
efn coast. The hotel will cover the re-
malnder Of the F. {: N. Schaefer Brew
ing Company property on Park Avenue.
On the block TO the south is the now
st. Bartholomew Church, ard to the
north the Montana, one of the first Of
the hne apartment houses on Park Ave
nue..
Mr.. Linnard's purchase fronts 200
Ieet on Park Avenue, 179 feet in Fifty
hrst Street and SO feet in Fifty-second
street. One million dollars is said to
De the price paid for the site. 1t is in
'eresting to note in this connection that
part OF this property was originally
oOught by the founders of the old
brewery, Frederick and Macmillan
"cnaefer, in 1864, for less than $4,000
lot For reasons Of a sentimental
nature Mr. Schaefer has arranged with
'he purchaser Of the property for an
apartment in the building that is to be
erected thereon, which he purposes to
make his city lone.
Plans for the big building will be

property, has plans for its commercial
development. 1t is understood that the
plans call for a twelve story building
Of the finest type Of construction for
occupancy by concerns whose presence
there will meet with the favor of the
Save New York Committee, of which
Mr.. Dreicer is member.
The old church was held in the mar
ket at $60O,000. William A. White e.
Sons, who sold the property for the
congregation, refused to say how near
the asking price was paid by Mr.. Drei-
Ger.
Mr. Dreicer has been thinking and
talking Fifth Avenue for many years.
Real estate is merely a side line with
him. He is head of Dreicer & Co.,
jewellers, whose place Of business, at
the southwest corner of Fifth Avenue
and Forty sixth Street, extends back to
the old Fifth Avenue Baptist Church
rectory. Mr.. Dreicer has been one
of the most successful traders in Fifth
Avenue real estate. He is not known
to have made mistake. He has been
charged with paying too much for one
or two properties, but he is understood
to have slenced his critics by resell
ing them at a good deal more than he
had paid. He is a well-wisher of Fifth
Avenue, self-appointed vigilance COM
mittee, as are most business men along
the Avenue, ever on the alert for a
move that will impair the progress of
the Avenue. For this reason a most
interesting development of the church
site is looked for.

Immediately adjoining the property
is the old homestead of James Fcni-
more Cooper, where, inspired by the
romantic legends of Westchester Coun-
ty he wrote his famous book, "The
Spy" and his other wellknown Indian
stories.
Directly across the street are the
circular stables, which were for years
a landmark on the old Morris Estate
farm.
The balance of the Watt property,
consisting of about 100 acres, will be
developed by the Kelwyn Corporation
(Frederick Fox & Co., agents. into
acreage plots. The entire property has
been held at 100000 and the portion
sold at $150,000.
This is the largest sale for some
time in this section of Westchester
County, and shows the general trend
of the market upward toward the finer
properties.

Kew Gardens folks say it is one of the

"On the east of the hall is large

"The house is first and last home.
1t was built with an eye to practical

house are practically in separate

structure and the wall construction
suggest this. There is only one en-

Passing OF Fifth Avenue Baptist Church Marks Start
OF Extensive Building Programme Fifth Avenue District

Sale of the Fifth Avenue Baptist
Church in Fortysixth Street last
week verifics in a measure the an
nouncement made several weeks ago
IN the Real Estate Section of the
Sunday Tribune that many old and ven
Grated landmarks in the Fifth Avenue
trade section are doomed to destruction
because Of the demand for business
space which could not be satisfied dur
ing the war. The opinion is held that
this deal will set in motion the great
reconstruction programme which has
been planned for Fifth Avenue south
of Central Park. Like a great wave it
will sweep over the district, carrying
away all obstacles to trade and
structures which have not yet been
put in tone with the modern business
appearance Of the district.
The church sale recalls shifts that
have been made in residential sections
of New York in the last half century
and the rapidity with which CONNER
clalsm IS overrunning the parent
borough. Viewing things as they are
to-day it is hardly imaginable that the
congregation of the Fifth Avenue Bap-
fist Church before coming to Forty
sixth Street worshipped in a church
in Norfolk Street. For ten or fifteen
years previous to the start Of the Civil
War this congregation, which had q
reputation for wealth and social posi-
ton equal to that held by the present
congregation, lived in the vicinity of
Norfolk Street.
Business pressure from the south
and east forced the congregation to
move. The vestrymen took a long
jump in selecting a site on Forty sixth
Street. 1t was country then and
church in the field was looked upon as
pleasing deviation. The Forty sixth
Street ediice was completed in 1861.
More than ten years ago DR.. Aked
the pastor, demanded that action be
taken in securing a new location for

number Of windows in his house.
Usually so many openings have an un-
pleasant architectural effect, but not
so in the Burns house, as may be seen
by the photographs.
The architect met the wants of the
owner, giving the family all the Win
dows desired, yet a home that is at
tractive beyond measure, seated upon
q hill swept by the breezes from every
point of the compass.
"When we decided to build" Mr.
Burns said last week, eve selected Kew
Gardens for a number of very good
reasons. Its elevation is among the
'highest of any property on Long ISL
