TRADESMEN HAVE BROKEN
INTO EXCLUSIVE AVENUE
ASSOCIATED PreSs)

New York, Feb. 8.-Stealthy, but
steady advances by tradesmen, cover
ing a period of more than 20 years,
have virtually broken the residential
exclusiveness of Fifth avenue, known
the world over as the home precinct
of the Vanderbilts, Carnegies. Harri-
mans, Plants, tricks and other
wealthy families.
One by one mansions which housed
international personages and gave to
Fifth avenue much Of its glitter and
fame, are surrendering to commercial
enterprise and the rich are seeking
homes in new exclusive" parts of the
city. Real estate men. who have
watched with interest this aggression
of trade, say that another decade will
have wiped out the last bit of resi-
dental exclusiveness in the avenue.
The change in Fifth avenue was re-
fiected in the recent purchase of prop
erty bordering the East river at
Fifty-eighth street by Mrs. William
X. Vanderbilt ST., where she intends
to build home in a section known as
Sutton Square. This bit Of property
is directly across from Blackwell's
Island where q city prison is located
and is almost underneath the Manhat-
tan approach to the Greensboro
bridge. Real estate men expect that
Mrs. Vanderbilt's migration to the
East river will mean a new exclusive
district in part of the city where
near-slums existed before.
Mrs. Vanderbilt, who few years
back. helped to make Fifth avenue
history with her brilliant social &C
tiyities, said when she purchased the
East river property that Fifth avenue
had "1ost its residential atmosphere,
which was its most valuable charm
Traffic and crowds, resulting from the
trade invasion, she said, had taken
away its exclusiveness.
The fight to "save" Fifth avenue
has been waged since the late COS
when real estate men began to get op.
lions on property near the magnifi.
lcent mansions. Members Of the Van.
derbilt family and others owning
homes there expended millions of dol
lars in buying up property in an eff
fort to stem the tide.
Much of this property was purchas
ed at exorbitant figures and after 9
lapse of years has fallen back fol-
business use, hotels. banking houses
jewelry stores. millinery and fin,
tailoring establishments having grad
ually crept northward along the thor
Ioughfare.
