AMERICAN EXPRESS PROPERTY.
The property owned by the American Express Company at Van Buren and Market streets has been sold to Owen F. Aldis and other trustees. The property has a frontage of 176 feet on Van Buren street by about ninety feet on Market street. It also has an alley along its southern side. The purchasers, it is said, propose to erect at once a modern eight-story fire-proof building covering the entire property. Plans have been prepared by Holabird & Roche and the contract let to W. A. and A. E. Wells. The new building has been leased for a long term of years to the wholesale clothing firm of Hart, Schaffner & Marx.
It is proposed to make the structure one of the finest wholesale mercantile houses in the world. The exterior design will be constructed of brick and stone. It will cost $17,000.
