62 WINNETKA TALK November 3, 1928 REALTORS YOUR ATTENTION MR. BUILDER! OR the past month the REALTORS of the North Shore have closed their offices, as well as not having shown houses "Open for Inspection," on Sun- days. _ MEMBER NorRTH SHORE Ny S ESTAS Many builders have cooperated with us by voluntarily closing, on Sundays, the houses they are offering for sale. We have found that experienced builders agree with us that Sunday "lookers" are rarely "buyers." We greatly appreciate, in this experi- ment of ours, the spirit you have evi- denced which will accomplish so much in the solution of our mutual problems. THE NORTH SHORE REAL ESTATE BOARD Recent Realty Deals One of the last large pieces of un- subdivided property around the Demp- ster street terminal in Niles Center has just been put on the market by the Paramount Realty corporation. This property, consisting of forty-five acres, was purchased from Mayor John E Brown of Niles Center. It runs from Simpson and the Harmswood station to Church street along the right of way of the Skokie valley branch of the North Shore electric. It also is lo- cated on the Elgin highway known as State route No. 58. Martin L. Clarke, bond broker and apartment building owner of New York, bought the triangular piece of business property at the southeast cor- ner of Lincoln and Crawford ave- nues, 180x170, in Tessville, just beyond the city limits from Goodson & Wilson, for a reported $150,000. The new owner intends eventually to improve with a three story business building. A replica of the tavern room of the old Buckeye inn, Evanston's first hotel, is to be installed in the form of a grill in the Oak Crest apartment hotel--now under construction at 1570 Oak ave- nue. The location is just south of Davis street and a block east of Ridge avenue. The Oak Crest will be eight stories high and will contain ninety-one apartments ranging in size from one to six rooms. Some of the flats will be furnished. Raymond Gregori de- signed the structure which will be of old English Tudor architecture. Slate has been found to be of value as a material for floors in garages where oil and grease abound because of its nonabsorbent quality. 4 New Residences for Kenilworth; One Costs $33,000 Two of the four new residences started in Kenilworth during October are on Maclean avenue. Both are be- ing built by William Salmen, one at No. 708 and the other at No. 740. According to the building permits '| the former is to cost $14,000 and the latter $13,000.
