Morton residence at Sixteenth Street and Fifth Avenue. He outlines profits from brick, lumber, lead pipe, and a unique onyx mantel, noting winter prices and material reuse. The job spans nearly a month with numerous labor wages and disposal of materials to builders, coal docks, and recast lead. Brownstone value is minimal, and demolition timing shifts with seasons. The piece mixes this plan with unrelated editorials, a youth article, and a Russian trade note.
