REAL ESTATE FIRM BUYS
BUILDING FOR OFFICES
Hedges & Middleton to Move From
1884 II Street to New Home
at 1882 I.

The firm Of Hedges & Middleton
has purchased the old Saul Building
at 1882 l street, which has been re-
modelled into new Offices to house the
concern.
The firm will move from its old
Quarters at 1894 II street northwest
into its new building next week. The
entire first floor, comprising about
$50 square feet. will be occupied by
the firm, while the second and third
floors will be equipped as general
Offices.
The firm was first organized by
Jesse II. Hedges and F. Eliot Middle
ton in 1919. They both were actively
engaged in the realty field for many
years prior to the inception OF the
corporation. Rapid growth in the
past years and an addition of con-
struction department made the re-
moval to larger quarters necessary.
The section to which the concern
has moved rapidly Is becoming the
real estate center OF Washington.
