Hooker Annex to BE Extended-Will BE
Enlarged Half Its Present Capacity
Stores Not TO BE Disturbed.
One of the largest real estate trans
actions in Brattleboro in a long time
took place yesterday when the Durham
brothers Co. bought Hooker block and
Ryther block which adjons on the east
side of Main street. The amount of
money involved in the purchase was not
made public but it is understood that
tie company paid $4,000 for Hooker
block and 100000 for Ryther block.
Possession will be given today, Sept. /.
Hooker block was bought of Mrs.
George w. Hooker of Schenectady, n.
y, and Ryther block was bought of
Richard G. Averill. The purchase in
cludes the large wholesale building in
the rear of Hooker block. known as
Hooker block annex, occupied exclu-
sively by the Durham Brothers Co.
The Durham Brothers Co., whose
Office has been located on the third floor
of Hooker block makes this purchase in
order to extend the wholesale depart
ment. The rear bulding. or annex,
will be extended southwark to the south
line of Ryther block, which will make
that building about half as large again
as at present.
The company occupies two stores in
Hooker block for its retail business. 1t
is not the company's intention TO dis
turb any of the stores in either build
ing.
Hooker block is three stories high
and has a Main street frontage of 40
feet and is 60 feet deep. The annex is
six stories high but otherwise is of
about the same dimensions as the front
building. The annex was built about
20 years ago. Ryther block is three
story building.
A few years ago the Durham Broth
ers Co. bought the so-called Go0dhue
property on Main street of tie Centre
Congregational church, intending to
erect building there, but the plan was
given up for various reasons.
