NAHANT is soon to lose another of its old landmarks. 
The old Tremont hotel, which for a generation housed 
many noted persons, is in the process of being demolished 
by the DeFronzo Wrecking Co. of Marblehead and in 
about three weeks the last trace of the old building will 
have been cleared away. Last September the Nahant 
board of selectmen considered condemning the building 
as a fire menace. It had been unoccupied for the past 
15 years and many complaints were made by townspeople 
regarding it. The building formerly occupied a site in 
Little Nahant where for many years it was the summer 
residence of the late Thomas Howe, of Brookline. At 
the time it was constructed the best of material was put 
‘nto the interior and a large amount of valuable lumber 
35 contained in it. Mrs. Georgianna Carren purchased 
the building and moved it to its present site in two sec- 
tions and converted it into a hotel. Mrs. Carren died 
about three years ago and the estate has been in the 
hands of two administrators until a short time ago when 
it came into the possession of the heirs, Edward F. Mc- 
Alvoy of Nahant and Mrs. Marion O. Cummings of 
Swampscott. Immediately after the estate was settled 
the heirs decided to have the building cleared away.
