C., re corded a transfer of 14ie deed to the property to Kl. C. Mutual. A day before, howeyer, N. C. Mutual president A- T. Spaulding hag issued a statement formally announcing that the ^mpany had bought the property. An estimated $425,000 was paid by the firm to Th\irman, who first bought the property in Decembfr. Thurman paid Duke University an estimated $362,500 for the estate. The property Is located on thi Southeast corner of Chapel Hill and Duke streets, about one block from downtown five points. in a prepared statement an nouncing the purchase, Spauld ing said "Pour Acres" seems to be "an ideal site for our much needed new home office build ing in keeping with our needs and position and prestige in the insurance industry and the na tion. “There is space not only for present needs but for future ex pansion without congestion, and parking.” The eventuil purchaser of the estate had been the subject of speculation for several weeks since Thurman announced In October that his firm was buy- btg the property for unidenti fied tenants. Representing a Washington, D. C. firm, Thurman made several trips to Durham to complete ne gotiations for the property. On one of the trips, he displayed an archi tect’s conception of a nine story office building which would be er^ted on4he site. However, Spaulding, told news man this week that North Carolina mutual would not erect the build ing displayed by Thurman. "We can't say just what the siie building we will put there because we haven't arranged for an architect," Hie Mutual presi dent revealed. He alsQ went|on to explain that the company’s present office build- ^ ing, located at 112-118 Parrish street, and an annex located on Orange street, would be sold.
