new lighting fixtures are installed: new
floors laid; pleasing decorations ara
provided, and the house is ready TO do
service for another twenty-five wears
1t is most likely better house than
ever, and its remaking has cost but
fractional part of new house of equal
merit.
One Of the most interesting Of thu
transformations in the Sixty-thi
Street block is that at 1853 and 155'
This building was formerly a three.
story stable, built as private stables
used to be built. Mr.. Steiner has nut
on sloping roof in the front, so that
1t appears to be only two stories, and
has wrapped around the building an air
Of grandeur and age that is fascinating.
Good Speculation
Mr.. Sterner's last purchase il hi,
largest and was made on the assumn.
ton that houses will be in greater do.
mand than ever. 1t must be under
stood that with possibly one or tvs
exceptions the alterations in the Sixty.
second and Sixty-third Street blocks,
were made by him for others. Ths
property at $50 East Sixty second
otIeet ME-. Slefnef altered Tor his own
use. He paid little money for tho
house and spent nearly as much in
making it over. Before he had ths
building completed it is understood hs
was offered $4,000 more than the prop.
erty cost him.
Real estate men say the value Of
these blocks has been improved very
largely by these alterations. That tho
older type of house will be marketable
may be judged by the many houses OH
the East Side purchased for occupancy
since the first of the year. The supply
of modern houses is being rapidly de.
pleted This means that the old and
the dilapidated will be bought and
made over.
In all his purchases and sales Mr..
Steiner has had the expert advice and
cooperation of the real estate broker
age firm of Harris G. Vaughan.

lew, even now, appreciate the ramif
cations or the extent Of the operations
of the government in the realty field.
Reports being made to Congress are
lifting the cover Of secrecy which hid
from the American public all details
Almost as soon az the government had
decided on its military plans the ac-
qulring began of large areas for the
training and housing of troops. To
many minds the acquisition of land for
environments and encampments was the
extent of the real estate operations of
the national government.
These thinkers overlooked the nm
military side of the war. They forgot
that factories had to be secured for
the manufacture of things of war. and
when manufactured it was necessary to
have buildings in which TO store them
while awaiting shipment to the battle
front.
In connection with this phase de-
vcloped the need Of housing accom-
modations for the industrial army
which was to remain at home and man
tho foundrics and shpyards and the
manifold industries which the govern
ment operated.
rms housing project was a great un
dcrtaklng IN itself, since it required
''ac putc"aSe, Ieasc or communicating
OF millions and millions of square feet
of land in nearly every corner of the
United States.

acres 1850 were unplottcd. The plotted
area taken contained 1865 square
feet. 1t might be interesting to real
estate men to know that the govern
ment bought this property cheaply.
The report shows that these acres
were secured for $4,000 less than
the valuation placed upon the land by
consecutive experts who held before
their minds the needs of the govern
ment and at the same time the well
fare of property owning interests. 1t
is estimated that $4,000, 900 was invest
ed III real estate for the especial needs
OF the Labor Department. The 4,466
acres were secured at valuation of
1888 an acre and the plotted property
was purchased for 16 cents a square

The purchase of this property came
at the end of four stages, each stage
being Independent of the others, al

ability, prices and other conditions

Frederick Browns operations last year,
although they totalled $4,000 900, will
fall far short OF this years business If
he continues to buy and sell at the pace
which he has followed during the first
TWO months Of the year During Janu-
airy and February Mr.. Brown bought
and sold close to S9,000,000 worth Of
real estate.
Yesterday he set out to make March
as busy, if not buster, than either Janu-
airy or February. He figured in three
deals. Lido Hall, at the northwest cor
ner of Seventh Avenue and 10th Street,
one of the best houses in that section,
was purchased from Kuhn Loeb e.
CO.
The property accommodates twenty
seven families, paying rentals aggrc-
eating about s34, 900. MIR. Brown
bought this property through A. l.. &

The houses accommodate 100 fanatics,
with rentals aggrcgatng $1,000. The

Makes New Interiors
When Mr.. Steiner has finished max
ing over his houses the interiors pre-
sent quite as great transformation as
DO the eXteriors. The floor levels are
retained, but everything else. except
perhaps few partitions, passes away.
In the making over the kitchen may
retain its location at the rear of the
ground floor, but that is all. Generally
the dining room moves UP to the back
parlor, and the old front parlor, with
the old hall added to it, becomes a
good sized living room. The old front
basement dining room now is a spa
cious entrance hall, and the old boxed
in wooden stairway gives place to a
modern one of pleasing design
Small bedrooms disappear, some of
them becoming bathrooms in the trans
formation and others being joined tc
existing rooms to give larger area

houses. So it went on, until now there
Is not an unbecoming dwelling in the
block. Mr.. Steiner next showed his
handiwork in the Sixties, making over
several houses in Sixty-second and Six
ty-third streets with pleasing result.
Sixty-third Streets Revival
These were all old houses, none of
them of particular interest or deserv-
ing of high value. Some Of them were
erected many years ago and were large
ly of the brownstone and wide stone
period, which the present school of ar
chitecture looks at with little pride
Mr.. Sterner has made over eleven
houses in the two blocks. The Sixtysec
ond Street houses are at 144, 100 and
1853. The Sixtythird Street houses are
chiefly on the south side of the way
They are 1862, 1854, 1856, 164. 166 and ITO,
on the south side. On the north side
he has altered the houses at 15l.
1853 and 1876. The latter property is
one of the most attractive buildings of
