IN BR4TTLEBORO
Brattleboro Trust Co. Buys Property
of Edward Crosby Realty
Company.

Brattleboro, Feb, Tin their month
ly meeting this morning the directors
Of the Brattleboro Trust company yot
ed to buy the property held by the I'd
ward Crosby Realty company, which
includes the well-known Crosby block
ON Main street, one of the most con-
spicuous buildings in town, and Har-
mony building in the rear. both three
story brick buildings. The company
will acquire the property through an
option secured recently from Howard
G. Rice, Frederic G. Adams and Miss
Marion M. Rice, stockholders in the
Edward Crosby Realty company. This
will constitute the largest real estate
transaction here in many years.
Crosby block is on the west side OF
the street and extends from the Brooks
house building south to Elliot street
with the exception of the Vermont Ma
tional bank property, which originally
was part Of Crosby block. The first
floor is occupied by stores, the second
by offices and the third hy apartments.
All Of Harmony building except the
heating plant in the basement is
occupied by Z. l. Hildreth & Co.'S
printing plant.
The Trust company is located in the
Brooks house building and is greatly
in need of more room. For this reason
it decided to buy Crosby block, and
while no definite decision has been
made as to what part Of the block il
will occupy Treasurer Charles A. Boy
den says new quarters for the institu-
tion eventually viii be found in Crosby
block. This doubtless means that two
stores will have to be vacated. The
merchants now occupying stores in the
building are the Brattleboro Drug com
pany, j. +. Mann, drygoods; Lowell &
Teller, hardware; the Clapp 4 Jones
stationeTs; the Brattleboro
China store, and Carl S, Hopkins, flow
ers and plants.
The two buildings were erected fifty
wears ago by the late Edward Crosby
and the late Charles B. Rice. At the
time of his death in 1890 Edward Cros-
by was the sole owner. After that the
stood IN the name Of the Ed
ward Crosby heirs until Il was ae
quired by the Edward Crosby Realty
Charles r. Crosby, who died
last May, was the largest stakeholder
in this corporation. He was widely
known as the head of a wholesale -four
and grain firm Of e. Crosby & Go.
