A ROW OK SUBURBAN STORKS. 
AT GLEN SI DE FARMS, PENNA. 
Designed by Lawrence Visscher Boyd, Architect. 
H owever beautiful many of our sub¬ 
urbs appear when we have left the railroad 
and strike into the real country, it is unfortu¬ 
nate that we have to resign ourselves to the 
sight ot ugly and squalid buildings as we alight 
from the train. The accompanying illustra¬ 
tions show what has been done at Glenside 
Farms, Pennsylvania, to make attractive that 
focus of suburban life : the station and the 
tew shops which minister to the daily wants 
ot the residents. Here a delightful farm 
land has been developed by Mr. W. ' 1 '. B. 
Roberts into a prosperous suburb, as rural 
in its character as can anywhere be found 
within a distance of fifteen miles from a large 
city. All the improvements in the com- 
THE NORTH END OK THE ROW 
munity were entirely under one control, and 
the opportunities obtained thereby for turn¬ 
ing to the best account every portion of the 
original land are obvious.
