MACDONALD, WILSON AND CO. have received instiuctions to submit for absolute and unreserved sale — THAT VERY FINE PROPERTY situated in GHUZNEE-STREET, WELLINGTON, and known' as "THE MANSIONS."
The giound has a frontage of 59ft 4m to Ghuznee-street by a depth of 100 ft, and i^ held under lease for a term of 21 year> from the 18th day of December, 1901. at a yearly rental of £44 ss, with the right of i ©new a! for a further term of 21 yeai-s at an. annual rental of £-"9 On this has recently been elected a buck building of three stories, modern and up to date in ©very respect, with every improvement and requirement which the ingenuity of a first-class architect could' devise. The building is finely proportioned, and presents a splendid appearance, and would immediately arrest the attention of any passer-by. This magnificent Private Hotel contains in all 50 rooms, large and lofty. and finished in most' perfect style. It occupies a position in one of the leading streets in the very heart, of the city which, lying as' it does between two very important tramlines — Cuba, and Willis streets I—is1 — is shortly Ae>stined to be a business street of some considerable importance. The Ventilation, Lighting, and Drainage of "The Mansions" is- perfect and aJ] that could be desn cd. The upper floors command a view of the whole of the harbour and city, and the Loungeroom, built into the roof, is unique, and has one of the finest panoramic views to be obtained from any building in Wellingtom. "The Mansions" is a bright,, cheerful, and attractive Private Hotel of the highest class. The house is lighted/ throughout with electricity and gas, and a never-failing stream of visitors enter into and depart from it during the whole of the year — the rooms in this, house are never empty. It has "caught on," and the tiavelling and residential public are constantly seeking acommodation there. There is a fortune in the house ho any one. desirous of obtaining a private hotel of this character in. a rising city like Wellington, where the number of licensed hotelsi is limited practically for all time, so that the weary traveller may find rest and enjoyment without the noise and bustle of a public hotel. "The Mansions" would make a Magnificent Coffee Palace, and aifords the Temperance Party an opportunity of acquiring a house admirably suited for carrying out temperance principles. To those m search of a luci ative investment this property specially appeals as no difficulty whatever v will be found in securing a tenant at a rental which will handsomely repay any proprietor. The absolutely unreserved sale of a valuable property of this kind is unique, but the circumstances are somewhat unusual, and the public can rest assured that "The. Mansions" will be submitted to auction and sold to the highest bidder. Note. — The Purchaser of the Property will have the option of taking the whole of the household furnishings at valuation. Full particulars as to terms., etc.. will be supplied on application to the Auction eers.
