Real Gstate 
And Improvements 
Manchester. 
Noted among the ground improve- 
ments to be made along the shore 
before next season are those planned 
for the Harvey Childs estate at Man- 
chester Cove. Mr. Childs will have 
some new gardens made on the side 
of the hill between his house on Uni- 
versity lane and Summer street, and 
will have his avenue lined with shrub- 
bery and patches of flower gardens, 
the whole making quite an outlay. 
The North Shore Ferneries will do 
the work. 
Mrs. Frederick T. Bradbury is to 
have extensive improvements and 
alterations made to “ Lilliothea,’’ her 
summer home at Smith’s Point, Man- 
chester, both interior and exterior, the 
present winter. Howard A. Doane of 
Beverly Farms has the contract. 
Beverly Farms 
Prominent among the ground im- 
provements going on along the shore 
are those at the H.M. Sears estate, 
Pride’s. The massive sea wall being 
built along the water front is well-nigh 
completed, but there will be consid- 
erable grading after that is done. The 
wall is of Rockport granite, brought 
to the beach by barge. At the right 
of the long pier, which runs out into 
the ocean six or seven hundred feet, 
built last winter, is being built an 
attractive bath-house, which will be 
thoroughly in keeping with the sur- 
roundings, Mr. Sears’ estate is one 
of the oldest on the shore, and he is 
leaving nothing undone in making it 
one of the most attractive. Connolly 
Bros. are the contractors in charge. 
Summer Estates 
One at the Pride’s Crossing station 
any of these afternoons after 4 o’clock 
would almost think himself in a bust- 
ling city, such a crowd of workmen 
are congregated there waiting for the 
trains. These come to Pride’s to 
work on the various big building jobs 
and improvements being made. The 
Frick job is the largest of these. The 
hill on which Mr. Frick’s house has 
been built has been transformed com- 
pletely from what it was a year ago. 
The auto house has just been com- 
pleted, and the mansion itself is soon 
to undergo the finishing stages. The 
plastering has just been completed 
and the windows are being placed. At 
present a big fence is being placed 
around the front and two sides of the 
estate, which will be quite an adorn- 
ment. On a base of granite, with 
Indiana limestone cap, is to be placed 
an iron fence of picturesque design, 
the whole to be about nine feet high.
