| THEMA | Firmendarstellung |
| TEXT | There is no interest in the metropolis of greater importance than that of real estate, and none which is placed upon such a conservative and honorable basis as regards methods and transactions. In this connection the name of Folsom bears honored associations, and the present successors of the original founder of the business are among our most representative and enterprising brokers and dealers. The late Mr. Charles J. Folsom established in business in 1847, and was identified with the progress of real estate interests of this city throughout a long and honored career. The present firm of Folsom Brothers was formed in May, 1882, and is composed or Mr. Samuel D. Folsom, Mr. Thomas W. Folsom and Mr. William H. Folsom, Mr S. D. Folsom being late of the firm of J. G. and S. D. Folsom & Co., and who upon selling out his interest therein formed the present firm. As active real estate and insurance brokers they have three offices. Their main office is unusually centrally located on Broadway, corner of 31st Street, while their other two are situated respectively at No. 384 East 72d Street and No. 155 2d Street. They transact every branch of the real estate business, buying, selling and renting real property, and loaning money on bond and mortgage, while they make a specialty of taking entire charge of estates. They are likewise notaries public and commissioners of deeds for all the states and territories. Their practical knowledge of values and prospective worth of unimproved property is unexcelled in the city, and they have descriptions of all classes of eligible property on their books, both for sale or to rent. They make a prominent specialty of taking the entire management of estates, and are the agents for many of the largest real estate owners in New York, including Mr Cornelius Vanderbilt, Mr. William Bayard Cutting, Mr Henry E. Pellew and Miss Catherine Wolf, all very wealthy and respected citizens. Among other immense structures of which they have the entire charge is the huge building of the "Improved Dwellings' Association," which occupies the entire block on First Avenue from 71st to 72d Streets, and is two hundred feet square in dimensions. It affords comfortable and superior accommodations for three hundred families, and practically solves the problem of the respectable housing of honest workingmen and their families. The rents here range from eight dollars up to fourteen dollars per month, for well -ventilated and good sized apartments, containing two, three and four rooms, with use of bath, laundry and hot and cold water, libraries, a reading room, etc. It is owned by a stock company, the people previously mentioned being interested, and under its present careful and conscientious management well merits the compliments bestowed upon it. The firm's office in this building is kept open day and night. The structure is in every way a new departure, and shows what can be done with the union of large capital and trained practical skill and experience. The management is highly satisfactory to the owners and is developing a good return, considering the extremely low rentals asked. Messrs. Folsom Brothers are all native born New Yorkers, skilled In their business, and whose high and honorable methods have won the esteem and confidence of the entire community. They are all young men yet, and members of the Real Estate Exchange and auction room, which opens a new and more central field for the union of brokers to interchange views and effect transactions. The Messrs. Folsom Brothers are among the best posted agents and brokers in the city. Knowing the metropolis thoroughly, and having the finest classes of property owners as their permanent customers, their prospects in the near future ar« of the most favorable character. |
