On that segment of the avenue from Forty-second street northward almost to the gates of Central Park fine old residences have given way to business buildings erected for the occupancy of retail mercantile enterprises, and the latter In turn have In many cases been forced further up the avenue or Into the side streets by the invasion of banks and trust companies. The culmination of this northward movement was the entrenchment of trade at Fifty-seventh street where the Heckscher Cathedral of Commerce now stands.

"In their northward march, of course, the big retail enterprises such as the department stores will be stopped by the parlc," says Mr. Saks, "but I really do not believe that that trill be an impassable barrier for the smaller concerns.

It would not surprise me at all to see' the eventual establishment of the finer type of shops such as dealing in women'S gowns and art objects' along How from Fifty-ninth street northward. That change may not come for a decade or more but'I believe occupying the entire block 'rout with the exception of one parcel will rise on the afte two of the moat picturesque old properties in the neighborhood. The southern end of the block to be improved is now occupied by the gravla apartments and the northern end by the Buckingham Hotel, one of tho oldest hostelriea In New York. The Buckingham was built in 1878 at a time when architectural gingerbread was all the rafre. When Fifth avenue was widened, however, and many of the structures along the way were shorn of stoops and other encroachments the face of the Buckingham shed some of its decorative excresences.
