A LOCAL DEPARTMENT 



Real Estate and Home Supplies Along the Connecticut Shore 



Stamford and Vicinity. 



Stamford is not only growing now, 

 but the pretty little city is going to 

 continue to grow at a rapid rate. 

 Judging from the present outlook, the 

 real estate business during 1910 will 

 be unusually good, in fact far better 

 than it has been in several years, not 

 excepting the spring of 1906. The 

 local demand for property is especial- 

 ly good, and there are frequent calls 

 from out of town parties for acreage. 

 There are indications tbat there will 

 be many large transactions consum- 

 mated, and much building contracted 

 for. 



An important real estate transac- 

 tion recently concluded is that of the 

 transfer from the East Branch Cor- 

 poration to the Tidewater Coal Com- 

 pany, of one hundred feet of dock 

 property. The property acquired by 

 the company adjoins that which it al- 

 ready occupies, and will enable the 

 coal company to extend its business. 

 It is understood that the transaction 

 involves $10,000. 



Charles Swanson has erected a 

 house on Clark's Hill, recently. It 

 is a frame house, provided with all 

 modern conveniences, and arranged 

 for one family. 



W. P. Mosely of Stamford, is build- 

 ing a handsome residence at Shippan, 

 from plans drawn by E. M. Stratton 

 of Boston. The house will be of 

 wood, 30 x 49 ft., three stories high 

 with a shingled roof. The rooms will 

 be finished in hard woods, with hard 

 wood floors, mantels and fire places, 

 and the house will be provided with 

 steam heat. 



A one family house is being built 

 for Paul Kost, on the corner of South 

 and harbor streets. It will be 24 x 28 



One of the many handsome resi- 

 dences which are being built on the out- 



skirts of Stamford, is the future home 

 of Dr. AY. D. Tracy, on the Roxbury 

 Road. The house will be 40 x 27 ft. in 

 size, built of stone and wood, with a 

 shingle roof. A stable, 32 x 2j ft. will 

 also be built. 



Work will be started in the Spring- 

 on a new building of wood with a 

 gravel roof, two stories high and 

 25 x 76 ft. in size, for Baer Bros., at 

 their plant on Canal street. 



When completed the Stamford 

 Lodge of Elks, will have one of the 

 best club houses in Connecticut. The 

 plans are by a New York architect. 

 Paul Allen, a resident of Stamford, 

 and a member of the Stamford Lodge. 



The building of the I .O. O. R. M. 

 has been undergoing extensive changes. 

 An addition has been built on the rear, 

 and the structure arranged for doctor's 

 offices, club rooms and banquet hall on 

 the first floor, with an assembly hall, 

 dance hall and lodge rooms above. It 

 has been fitted out with new plumbing, 

 and steam heating. It has been provided 

 .with every convenience, and finished 

 throughout with hard wood. 



Springdale, a suburb of Stamford, is 

 getting to be a flourishing little ham- 

 let. Some twenty or thirty houses 

 have been erected during the past year 

 but the supply is not equal to the de- 

 mand, as there is not a house to be 

 found for the applicants, who are 

 daily demanding the small house with 

 modern improvements. One of the 

 real estate agents in this section be- 

 lieves that in the near future the 

 building in Springdale will far surpass 

 any other of Stamford's suburbs. This 

 is especially true of the West Hill sec- 

 tion the inducements here being the 

 excellent view from the high eleva- 

 tion, and the purity of the drinking 

 water. This spring there will be 150 

 acres of land opened for building lots.
