NORTH SHORE BREEZE 17 
ROCKPORT. 
This beautiful resort has contributed its share to 
the quota of ecommodious and costly summer homes 
built on the North Shore this season. Major Walter 
Hale of Brookline and Rockport, has had erected for 
investment a very handsome bungalow of the California 
Mission type. Rutherford B. Smith, the Rockport con- 
iractor, built, planned and designed this very artistic 
summer home. It is constructed of wood. The big out- 
side chimney is of spatter dash cement as are the 
piazza buttresses and columns. Broad verandas and a 
fine porte cochere is also provided. The house contains 
twelve rooms, two baths and two pantries. A very at- 
tractive and odd feature is the open gallery above the 
large reception hall. The fire-places are of grey model 
brick and sap stone. Tomorrow, Maj. Hale will give a 
kouse-warming at the new bungalow which adjoins his 
fine estate on Marmion Way. Another asset. of the 
bungalow is its location from a scenic standpoint. It . 
is near Straitsmouth Inn and has a grand outlook. 
Mr. Smith was also the contractor for the spacious 
Colonial mansion of over twenty rooms nearing com- 
pletion for Dr. Emil Gruening and family of New York 
city. This new addition to Rockport’s growing cottage 
colony is in a big field at Land’s End, commanding a 
grand ocean outlook. Provision has been made for a 
most commodious and delightful summer home of the 
most up-to-date type—big livmg rooms and reception 
hall, dining room, library, family suites and guest 
reoms. The spacious verandas give basement room be- 
reath sufficient to have a bowling alley. The ample 
grounds provide kitchen and flower gardens of very 
generous size. HKvery appointment for comfort and con- 
venience was planned by Mr. Smith, who has a partieu- 
jar genius in this line of work. Dr. Gruening is Presi- 
dent of the American Ophthalmological Society, Presi- 
dent of the American Otological Society and Chairman 
of the Op'ihalmologiecal Division of the New York 
Academy of Medicine. The family party ineludes Dr. 
and Mrs. Gruening, their daughters, Mrs. Stillman,
