| TEXT | Prominent among New York's most active and enterprising real estate brokers and agents is Mr. John W. Stevens. whose office is located at the north-west corner of Broadway and 52d Street. Mr. Stevens has had a lengthy and useful career in mercantile life, and was formerly a lumber merchant and member, of the firm of Alien & Stevens. In 1867 Mr. Stevens retired from business and turned his attention to real estate, which offered good opportunities at that time. He built the beautiful row of houses on both sides of 58d Street, from Sixth to Seventh Avenues, but which have been damaged to a serious extent by the elevated railroad passing through the street, reducing the value of the property fully thirty-three and one-third per cent, less than it was. in the line of the real estate business Mr. Stevens has done remarkably well, building up the best class of trade, and with a fine line of permanent patronage. He has made a specialty of the west side of the Park and built a number of houses in that vicinity recently, and is authority in values in that part of the city. His business includes all handling of real estate and loans, and the care of estates. Mr. Stevens' knowledge of values, and the prospective changes in that connection, renders him an esteemed adviser to all about to buy or sell. Mr, Stevens is a native of New York State, and has for many years taken an active part in religious work in this city. He is an esteemed member of the Baptist Church, a trustee of their organization, and an active Sunday-school worker in the mission schools, etc. He has long been known and respected, and no one in New York to-day is more worthy of the high opinion entertained for him, both as an honorable business man and a self-sacrificing philanthropist. |
