NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
Real Gstate 
Mr. Ayer Buys Large Estate at Pride’s 
One of the most important real es- 
tate conveyances along the North 
Shore for years was the sale this week 
of the large estate of the late Royal 
E. Robbins at Pride’s Crossing to 
Frederick Ayer of Boston and Lowell. 
The sale has just been made by 
Royal Robbins and Reginald C. 
Robbins, as trustees of the estate of 
their father, who died about three 
years ago. 
Mr. Ayer’s town residence is at 
365 Commonwealth avenue. He was 
the lessee during the past summer 
season of the Evans estate at Burgess 
Point, Beverly. 2 
The Robbins estate is of large size, 
and contains fully twenty acres which 
originally formed a part of the still 
larger Paine estate This, many years 
ago, was divided into various smaller 
parcels of property, each, however, of 
good size considering the high value 
of all property in this part of the 
North Shore. 
The late George Gardner was the 
original purchaser of the estate, when 
it became separated from the rest of 
the big Paine property, and he built 
the mansion house still there, an ex- 
ample of substantial building, and in 
its early day viewed as a large house, 
although not so in these days of resi- 
dences of great size at many places 
along the shore. 
Mr. Robbins bought the place in 
1892 and made many improvements. 
On the estate are also a stable with 
accommodations for ten or twelve 
horses, a cow barn, gardner’s cottage, 
automobile house, greenhouses, etc. 
The estate extends trom opposite the 
railroad station to the shore front, 
where it has an attractive outlook. 
Mr. Ayer is not to take possession of 
his property until sometime in the 
winter.
