Gatchel Buys Jessup Estate for Store Office Plans
J Fred Gatchel buys the Jessup estate four story brick at 420 Fourteenth Street NW for about 29000 and aims to convert it into a modern store and office building with a large glass bow window on the second story. He will occupy the first floor and invest about 5000 in improvements. James D Donnelly, neighbor grocer, says he will likely upgrade his adjoining property and move from the corner of Fourteenth and T Streets. Donnelly bought 18 Fourteenth Street two years ago for about 16000, and the block’s shift to business has raised that value by nearly 28000.
