Along the Beverly Shore 
A NOTABLE addition to the house of John L. Salto.1- 
stall on Hale street at Beverly is in the form of : 
music room about 25 feet in dimensions, which is subred 
in green and gold and is decorated and furnished in the 
period of Louis Seize. It has deep windows and in its 
whole appearance is exceptionally attractive. At one end 
there are steps leading to a terrace and rose garden. ‘The 
music room was designed by Richardson, Barott & Rich- 
ardson, the Boston architects. 
Improvements which mark the estate of A. Kosh- 
land on Ober street in Beverly, near the Burgess Point 
section, include a new garage and greenhouses, as well as 
minor changes in the house. _ The garage and greenhouses 
are placed in the garden on the opposite side of the high- 
way from the residence. The garage is of two stories, 
with pitched roof and dormer windows, and is of brick 
and cement construction. It provides room for four cars 
and has the usual°modern equipment for tneir proper 
care. The building includes, entirely separated, a tene- 
ment for use of the chauffeur. The greenhouses, about 
60 feet by 25 in dimensions, include a grapery, vinery, 4 
melon house, and section for salad vegetables.  Drive- 
ways have been changed, requiring the felling of a few 
trees, and there has been replanting of trees ‘and shrub- 
bery, and other work of minor character. The changes 
were planned by ae & Davidson, Boston architects, 
and were carried out by William Galloupe of Beverly. 
New Residence for Miss Amory About Finished 
EVERLY FARMS has this season only one new house 
among the summer residences, that built for Miss 
Susan C. Amory of Marlboro street, Boston, from plans 
by Andrews, Jacques & Rantoul, the Boston architects. 
It is on the former property of Mrs. Frederic Dexter and 
is situated just off of Hale street, near the Allen Curtis 
place at the corner of Hale and Oak streets. The house 
is of the English cottage type, with gabled roof and 
plastered exterior. Its main entrance shows simple yet 
effective treatment, its porch with fluted columns and a 
pediment. Windows with shutters give a quaint look to 
the house. Its first floor provides for Miss Amory a small 
hall with stairs inconspicuously placed, a spacious living 
room, a library of good size and dining room, each having 
an ample fireplace. ‘That in the dining room is in a corner 
and opposite is an old-fashioned corner cupboard. One 
end of this room shows a rounded bay window with num.- 
erous very small leaded panes. There is a glazed-ini 
porch, or sun room. The service department, “kitchen, 
butler’s rooms, laundry, etc., have been carefully planned. 
The second floor gives the owner four chambers, two 
baths, a sleeping porch and linen closet, as well as rooms 
for servants’ use. The third floor is an unfinished attic. 
The interior finish is thoroughly in keeping with the at- 
tractive exterior appearance of the cottage. Much work 
on the surrounding grounds to make a terrace has been 
done and there will be a formal garden, with lawns, shrub- 
bery and flower plats. There is a garage and chauffeur’s 
cottage corresponding in finish to the house. There is 
space for two cars and the tenement is conveniently plan- 
ned. Well-grown trees near the house lend their value 
to its situation. E. A. Abbott Company of Boston has 
done the building, grading and other work of carrying out 
the plans of the architects. The house forms a neable 
addition to the summer cottages at Beverly Farms. 
To Build on the Old Lee Estate 
LANS have been made for a summer residence at Bev- 
erly Farms for Mr. and Mrs. George A. Dobyne of 
Bay State road, Boston, whose place will be just off of 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE and Reminder 
West street, a part of the original Henry Lee estate. The 
house will. be between the old-time Lee mansion and the 
comparatively new and attractive house of R. Paul Snell- 
ing. The plans have been prepared by Smith & Warren, 
Boston architects, and work is about to begin. A new 
avenue from West street, just beyond the bathing beach, 
has been constructed and a wall of plaster finish, wita 
square posts, each surmounted by a ball, marks the en- 
trance to the estate. The Dobyne residence will be of 
two and a half stories, with gabled roof, showing big 
chimneys, and the windows will have many small panes 
Gf glass. Directly over the front entrance there will be a 
series of four windows and above these a dormer breaks 
the roof line. A brick chimney of big proportions rises 
iv an ornamental way beside the front door. From a 
small vestibule, the main hall and stairs are reached. A 
leng living room with an alcoved fireplace has been plan- 
ved, with a loggia adjoining, to connect with a terrace 
and garden, to be provided with a pool, basin and other 
features. The dining room will be ample in size, with 
deep fireplace, and connecting there will be a flower room. 
The long L will contain the service part, which has been 
carefully planned. On the second floor there is a master’s 
suite of several rooms, and from a long corridor three 
rooms and the baths are reached, intended for use of 
guests. Rooms for maids are in the L. The exterior 
finish will be of brick with architectual stone trimmings 
and the house will be attractive, when completed. 
McKean Place Greatly Improved 
FROM plans by Richardson, Barott & Richardson, Bos- 
ton architects, changes have been made for H. P. Me- 
Kean, Jr., on Hart street, at Beverly Farms. The old- 
time house there has been removed to a new site and has 
been enlarged, and in its new setting among pine trees 15 
more advantageously placed. From Grape Vine road 
new avenue has been built, winding in and out under the 
trees. In the changes in the house effort has been made 
to secure the effect of the old-time mansions in Salem and 
elsewhere in Essex County. The new entrance hall, with 
fireplace, anda large living room, also with deep fire- 
place, are first impressions, and there has been gained 
from the roors formerly used as a parlor and a library a 
big hall with floor of old-time slate, the flags measuring 
about three by four feet, and there is a wonderful stair- 
way of Colonial design, the vamp mahogany rail and the 
uprights of which came from the old Lee mansion in 
Salem, the home of the grandfather of Mrs. McKean, 
who before her marriage was Miss Elizabeth P. Lee. 
Panels which are used in the finish of the room and an 
old corner cupboard also came from the same Salem man- 
sion, as did the panels which in part finish the various 
rooms. From the dining room one reaches a glass en- 
closed piazza, above which there is a sleeping porch. A 
new wing for the service part of the house is among the 
changes, ‘and its-various rooms have been carefully plan- 
ned, including its second floor for use of servants. ‘The 
changes provide on the second floor a new day and also a 
night nursery, a children’s dressing room and a kitchen- 
ette for their welfare, adjoining a nurse’s room. A new 
master’s bedroom and bath and a like suite for guests 
have been gained in the addition. On the third floor, in 
addition to a large storage room, there are two bed rooms, 
a bath and a child’s room, which is planned with every- 
thing on a small scale to especially interest children. The 
exterior is of the Colonial farmhouse type, the doorway 
of modest desigh with columns supporting a pediment. 
Small panes for the casement windows and a big chim- 
ney which at its base indoors is ten feet square, are dis- 
tinguishing features. The broad foot-faced shingles are
