OHN R. BROWN, president of the Bur-
dett Piano Co., Erie, Pa., has pur-
chased the Keystone Boot and Shoe Co.'s
building, a conspicuous structure which
stands between Nagle and Twelfth streets
and Payne and Hess avenues. The sale
was closed up Saturday, and comprises the
building and an acre of ground. • The
building was erected in 1872 for the use of
the Keystone Boot and Shoe Co., is n o
feet in length and 40 feet in width. It is
a model building of substantial construc-
tion. Its offices are handsome and large, its
four stories are high, and reached by broad
stairways and a good elevator. Its floors
are double, and the large windows flood the
building with light and air, making it ad-
mirably suited for its future use. The
boilers and engine are in excellent condi-
tion. The property is in first-class repair,
the grounds are ample for additional build-
ings, and a fifteen-inch sewer extending
from Tenth to Twelfth street, 1,000 feet
in length and connecting with the Metric
Metal Works lake sewer, gives it sewage
and drainage. The property represents a
value of between $30,000 and $40,000.
