Sage Seeks New Fifth Avenue Home Amid City Growth
Russell Sage plans to move from his Fifth Avenue residence near Forty second Street in New York as business growth crowds the elegant block. He considered buying the Rouss mansion opposite the Cathedral, recently sold for $65 000, a site used for social events by Winchester friends of the late Charles Broadway Rouss. Sage complains of street noise from business traffic and notes fashionable visitors trampling the area, while lamenting young women’s behavior at a candy shop with costly indulgences and pets in tow.
