IN O_p MARBLEHEAD AND AT PEACH’sS POINT. 
ON the harbor front in Marblehead a house is being built 
for John R, Purdon, from plans by his brother, James 
Purdon, the Boston architect. It is next to the summer 
residence of Frank Gair Macomber and _ is_ literally 
“founded on a rock.’ Mr. Purdno will call the place 
“Dryledge.” It commands an extended view of the busy 
harbor. The cottage is of Colonial type, with shingled 
exterior and a hip roof, the lines broken by dormers. It 
is two and a half stories high. The entrance hall is pro- 
vided with a bay window for growing flowers. The stair- 
way at the right shows a square landing at the turn. 
From the hall one reaches the living-room, with a bay 
overlooking the water. The room has a deep fireplace and 
stationary bookcases. French windows open upon a 
covered, screened loggia. Adjoining the dining-room, 
which is on the harbor side, there is a small conservatory. 
The service part of the house is thoroughly well planned 
for its intended purposes. The lower part of the house is 
finished in Oregon fir, which is a novelty hereabout. <A 
covered piazza on one side has been carried around on 
the harbor side, uncovered. The second floor provides 
Mr. Purdon with four chambers and bath and there are 
two on the third floor, with also a naval workroom, . Mr. 
Purdon has been well known as a naval architect and 
designer of yachts and his work has been represented by 
farous boats. The work on the house is in the hands of 
loshua S. Doane of Marblehead and it is expected to be 
finished about the middle of August. 
Not far away, in the Devereux part of the town, the 
June 8, 1917. 
lames Purdan summer cottage has undergone alterations, 
from the owner’s plans, The house has been moved from 
the original site on the Goldthwait estate to the corner of 
Phillips and Locust strees. * Sleeping porches have been 
gained by the changes, as have other improvements, all 
making the house far more comfortable than heretofore. 
Directly on Harbor Front 
_ In the old town, much has been done to change the 
former Appleton cottage on Front street, facing the har- 
bor. By removing partitions, a large living-room has 
been gained, with beamed ceiling and a deep fireplace and 
having a panelled dado. A new dining-room is an im- 
provement, as is a piazza on the water side, There are 
other changes as well, both upstairs and down. <A garage 
has been built, of two stories with pitched roof and dor- 
mers. It contains the usual auto room, boiler room and 
on the second story are rooms fr a chauffeur. It is of 
terra cotta exterior finish. These changes were all plan- 
ned for Miss Helen Portia Pratt of Brookline by Fred- 
erick W. Wead, a Boston architect, and J. T. Wilson & 
Son of Nahant have carried out the work. 
A small garage has been built at the Harris P. 
Mosher place, which adjoins the old Appleton estate. It 
is of brick and plaster construction, from plans by the 
Boston architects, Peare & Quiner, who designed the 
house, built some seasons ago. The garage is of fireproof 
construction and is supplied with all modern appliances in 
its general equipment and finish. 
New Cottage on Peach's Point 
There is nearing completion at Peach’s Point, Mar- 
blehead, an attractive cottage which has been built for 
Bowdoin Bb. Crowninshield, from plans by Arthur H. 
Bowditch. It forms one of the group of several cottages 
of picturesque appearance which Mr. Crowninshield has
