NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
BEVERLY FARMS. 
One of the most beautiful and pic- 
turesque mansions on the North Shore 
is that built this year for Thomas M. 
McKee at Beverly Farms, next to the 
Goddard estate, on a hill overlooking 
the village. It is built in the Eliza- 
bethan style, of stone, with its red 
slated roof, showing many gables and 
the windows containing many small 
panes heavily leaded. A large Gothic 
arch, cutting completely through the 
lower floor, leads to the main door. 
There are about 25 rooms in the house. 
A large stable of the same general 
styleas the house is included in the 
plans, and the whole structure, to- 
gether with the large and beautiful 
erounds, make the estate one of the 
finest on the shore. 
The new residence of Oliver Ames 
at Prides is one of the most imposing 
on the shore. . Built in the design of 
the French renaissance period and 
of immense size, its appearance is 
most impressive. The exterior finish 
is of plaster adorned with numerous 
pillars of Ionic design. Great num- 
bers of windows of. large size afford 
plenty of light and sunshine, and 
large piazzas almost surrounding the 
house give plenty of opportunity to 
enjoy the sea breezes. Inthe interior

Judge William H. Moore is having 
quite extensive changes made on his 
training track, near the Prides station. 
When the track is completed there is

a solid foundation of chipped rock and 
gravel, it is being topped off with loam 
and tan bark. It is 40 feet wide and 
‘one-third of a mile in length.

sive improvements are also being 
made on the grounds surrounding the

pine, maple, poplar and willow, are 
being set around the entire enclosure.
