Rumors Current That Metropolitan
Corporation Is Negotiating for
" Building to Rise by 1933.
Reports that the Metropolitan cor
poratlon, a 5 and 10-cent store com
pany, was dickering- for a lease upon
quarters at the southeast corner of
Broadway and Washington street,
now occupied by the Sunset theater,
and that a new building might be
erected there in the near future, re
ceived increased credence yesterday
when it was learned that through the
provisions of the leese upon the prop
erty the lessee, John A. Jennings, will
be required to erect a building of six
stories or more before 1933. Mr. Jen
nings fefused to make any statement,
but acknowledged that a deal is in
progress.
The property belongs to the Mc
Ginn estate, and was leased in 1908
by Mr. Jennings for a period of 25
years. Henry E. McGinn said yester
day, when asked regarding the prop
erty. Under the provisions of the
lease, Mr. McGinn said, the lessee
agreed to pay a stipulated sum a
month and in addition pledged him
self to erect a new building of six
stories or more upon the property
Fome time before the expiration of the
lease, the time of erecting the build
ing being left entirely to the lessee.
At the expiration of the 25 years the
property reverts to the McGinn estate.
Rental Gradually Rises.
The monthly rental provided by the
lease is understood to have been $2000
for the first ten years, J2250 a month
for the next five, and $2500 a month
for the last ten years. That the Mc
Oinn estate would fight against any
deviation from the lease, and would
Insist upon the building being erect
ed". Mr. McGinn said.
. The quarter-block, now rated
one of the most valuable pieces of
property in the cily. was purchased
by Cnarles McGinn in the early "60s.
Mr. McGinn, who died eight years
ago, was a pioneer baker of Port
land, and tor somj years operated
bakeshop at the corner of Broadway
and Washington. His widow, Mrs.
Anna M. McGinn, is still living, and
receives the income from the valuable
property of the estate.
One of the two lots making up the
quarter block was purchased by Mr.
McGinn in 1861 for $700 and a gold
watch in trade, while the second lot
was obtained for $1500. Today the
assessed valuation of the two lots is
$358,000, while the income under the
lease for one month now exceeds by
$50 the total sum, paid for the prop
erty less than 60 years ago.
Booking Are Checked.
- The Sunset theater, it is under
stood, has booked no further than
two months ahead, and the Metropol
itan company, a concern dealing in
general merchandise up to B0 cents
in v.-ilue, is to occupy tfce quarters in
the near future.
When asked regarding the provi
eions of his lease upon the McGinn
property and the possibility of build
ing a new structure in the near
future, Mr. Jennings sard. "You'll
have to think as you will about that."
The J. C. Penny company, another
B and 10-cent chain store company,
will locate in Portland in the near
future also, arrangements having
been concluded for a location on the
ground floor of the Couch building.
Fourth street, between Washington
and Stark. The Penny company has
nearly 200 stores throughout the
country, and it has been known for
some time that the company planned
to locate here. The Schwan Piano
company, now occupying the quarters,
is already making plans to move, and
on February 28 will occupy new quar
ters at Tenth and Stark streets.
