service part is conveniently arranged in a wing. From the 
gallery in the living-room one reaches the several chambers with 
connecting baths forming the second floor and in the wing are 
rooms for the servants. It all makes a decidedly picturesque 
house, so admirably has Mr. Lawrence planned it.

At the Quincy A. Shaw place, ‘‘Pompey’s Garden,’’ at 
Fride’s Crossing, changes are under way both within the house 
aud on the grounds, where formal gardens are so attractive. 
A sun room of good proportions has been built to overlook a 
new terrace. Its floor is of big, square brick tiles and the 
woodwork finish of silver ash is out of the common for interior 
voodwork, and the effect is most pleasing. The roof of this sun 
parlor forms a balustraded baleony reached from a chamber. 
The surrounding grounds have been filled in and walled up to 
make a spacious terrace overlooking the sea, and steps lead 
from there to a terrace on a lower level. The work, planned 
by Bigelow & Wadsworth, has been carried out by J. T. Wilson 
& Son. 
Since last season the imposing brick mansion for Mrs. 
Iicius Manlius Sargent, at Pride’s Crossing, has been completed 
by Roberts & Hoare and Connolly Brothers from plans by 
George C. Wales of Boston, which were fully described a year 
ago when the work was begun. This season the surrounding 
grounds are undergoing improvement, with well-planned drive- 
ways, completion of terraces, laying out of gardens and és- 
pecially the planting of an avertue of lindens marking the two 
driveways which in straight line approach the house, with a 
beautifully even lawn between. Fully a hundred of these trees 
have been set out. Jt all makes a formal setting which is in 
keeping with the large house. Arthur A. Shurtleff of this city 
planned Mrs. Sargent’s work, which will include beds for 
gardens for old-fashioned flowers. 
Changes at ‘‘Burn-Side’’ and Elsewhere 
Changes which have been made in the house at ‘‘Burn- 
Side,’’ at Pride’s Crossing, the residence of Miss Katharine P. 
Loring and Miss Louisa P. Loring, which while they are 
simple will add not only to the general appearance of the 
house, but also to the comfort of the owners. For an exterior 
change one finds a new piazza built on the front elevation. 
A new garage of attractive design has been built at ‘‘Sun- 
set Rock,’’? the William 8. and John T. Spaulding estate at 
Pride’s Crossing. It is from plans by John Lavalle of Boston 
and is of brick construction with cast stone trimmings and 
ornamental ridges and has a pitched root, green slated. 
For Robert S. Bradley, a garage is under construction at his 
summer estate at Pride’s Crossing. It will be of only a single 
story and will follow in its style the general appearance of 
the Colonial house and stable.

This picturesque house 
of the Spanish villa style, with plastered exterior and with 
little iron balconies marking windows here and there, was built 
five years ago from plans by Winslow & Bigelow, now Bigelow 
& Wadsworth, Boston architects, who have made these recent 
changes. The house nestles among attractive pines and other 
trees which give it a ‘peculiarly interesting setting. At the 
service end of the house a large wing has been built the past 
winter by J. T. Wilson & Son of Nahant, and it adds much 
to the general appearance of the house. It is on an angle with 
the main portion and is two stories high.

Mrs. William A. Russell, who for two or three seasons has 
oceupied ‘‘ Burnham House,’’ Haskell street, Beverly Farms, one 
of the group of cottages built by Arthur Little, is now to have 
ber own new house, in the Preston Place section of the Farms, 
next to the estate of Quincy A. Shaw, 2d, and near the John A. 
Ceswell place. Mrs. Russell’s house, which William G. Rantoul 
ot Boston planned, is nearing completion. It stands perhaps 
six hundred feet back from the main highway, and is consider- 
ably more than a hundred feet long by about forty wide in its 
dimensions. It is of three stories with hip roof and the central 
pert of the front elevation projects, and the side walls of this 
projection are of brick, whereas the rest of the exterior finish 
is of very wide white clapboards. A portico which is built at 
the front door shows a pediment treatment with fluted columns. 
A large square piazza with trellises is a distinct feature of 
interest. From the vestibule on the entrance floor there is a 
sriall square hall and the stairs are placed beyond this in a 
separate hall. At one side of the hall is a den of good size, 
with fireplace, opening upon the broad veranda, and a big 
living room, long and broad and having a deep fireplace is pro- 
vided. Leading from the hall is the dining room, with fire- 
place, and beyond come the butler’s rooms and general service 
department, placed in an ample wing. It is all finely planned. 
The second story is given up to a large sitting room with fire- 
place, as a part of Mrs. Russell’s own apartments, with bed- 
rocm, bath and dressing room connected. Two large chambers 
with fireplaces and baths and also a smaller one provide ae- 
commodations for guests.

Roberts & Hoare of Manchester have carried out 
the architeet’s plans, which include also a garage with chauf- 
fur’s quarters, and a coachman’s cottage, separate buildings

sell’s place has about twelve acres of land, including the for- 
mer Samuel I. Currier estate on Hart street and the adjoining 
field, long occupied by nurseries, both 0. whigh she purchased. 
Development of Mrs. Leiter’s Estate 
Completion since last season of the fine residence and ad- 
jcining stable and garage for Mrs. Levi Z. Leiter, in West 
srreet, Beverly Farms, makes of her estate one of the notable 
places on the North Shore. The house, which is of English 
type of tapestry brick with stone trimmings, and other work 
was planned by Parker, Thomas & Rice of Boston, as was 
the stable-garage. The whole plan of the place was fully des- 
cribed a year ago in these columns, when the work was begun.
