Mr. John Hays Hammond's bun- 

 galow at Lookout Hill, Gloucester, 

 Mass., was intended by his eldest son, 

 Mr. Harris Hammond, for the use 

 of himself, his brothers, and their guests. His ideas 

 were successfully carried out by the architects, Wheelright 

 & Haven, and in laying the plans the four primary objects 

 borne in mind were comfort, attractiveness, economy of main- 

 tenance, and harmony with the surroundings. 



The setting of this bungalow is extremely picturesque, as it 

 is built upon a rocky promontory, at a height of forty feet 

 above the water. At the western end, and at the south side 

 of the house, are fine trees — birch, pine, oak and ash. On 

 the north side, and at the front, which faces the east, the 

 building overlooks the harbor of Gloucester, and commands 

 a magnificent view of that quaint old city, as well as of East- 

 ern Point and the sea beyond. 



The bungalow is approached from its western end by a 

 woodland path, through whose thick-set trees may be caught 

 glimpses of the water below. Its low, hipped roof, covered 

 with weather-stained shingles, and the great chimney of 

 rough gray fieldstone, at the base of which is planted a
