Monster Building to go Up Hlstor-
... le Swot la Xew York
New Tort, June? 15, (Special) -The.
only consolation that New Yorker
can draw from the approaching demo
litipn of Madison Square Garden,
which at last Is to be torn down after
rumors of Its sale have been currei
fr years is the fact that In return,
they are to become the possessors of
the greatest, commercial building in
the world with' more than 'fifty acres
of floor apace. . The building is to be
as remarkable in Its way as the struc
ture it succeeds. Each of Its twenty-
five floors wTu have an area cf fcw4
acre3 making it the largest :,bullding
In the world devoted to business pur
poses. The center of the block will
be occupied by a large court provld
ing light and air tor all the offices ' ,
the surrounding , structure. Private
foadways will lead into the court so
thaU.all goods entering or leaving the
building can be unloaded inside,; do
ing away with obstructions on the side
wilks. fi Elevators large enough 1 to
carry, a four-horse team , and loaded
truck will raise and lower the heavy
lest loads to and from the basement
level and the building will be equipped
with many other features that would
be Impossible for a smaller structure.
While the floor arear of the new build
ing will be sufficient for a good size
farm, it would be rather expensive for
farming purposes as the final, cost
is esumaiea now ai, iiz.uuu.uuo : or
$240,000 an acre. The disappearance of
the historic Garden with the gold fig
ure of Diana surmounting its tower
marks the final transition of the Mad
ison Square section as a hotel, club
and amusement center to a commercial
district. Coincident with its sale it
was announced that its near neighbor,
the Manhattan club, would seek new
quarters further uptown. As to where
the successor of the Garden itself
to be located, or whether It is to have
successor, Is still undecided.
