JNGLISBY, the Ipswich estate 
of Mr. and Mrs. Charles P. 
Searle of Commonwealth ave., 
Boston, is one of the half- 
dozen or trore of the exception- 
ally large and beautiful estates 
for which Ipswich is noted. The 
estates comprises about 200 acres 
situated beyond the town hill 
along the river just outside of 
the village. The very artistic 
and impressive looking. white 
stucco house stands in the cen- 
ter of the place and is reached 
by a long winding avenue 
through the park-like grounds. 
The grounds in-the rear of the 
house have been !cft in their 
wild and natural state. These lead 
up to the town hill and make 
a marked contrast to the artis- 
tically laid out grounds sur- 
rounding the house. The long 
house with the pretty green 
blinds at the upper windows 
and white casings at the lower 
windows is charmingly balanced 
byacommanding terrace in front. 
At each end of the terrace are 
steps descending on one side to 
the tennis grounds and on the 
other to the garden. ‘The view from the terrace is one 
of the fairest and most interesting of any of the Ipswich 
estates with the exception of Cagtle Hill, the R. T. Crane, 
Jr., estate, which commands almost a similar view from 
a different view point. Standing on the terrace at “‘Ing- 
lisby” one beholds in the distance Newburyport, Plum 
Island, Isles of Shoals, Castle Hill surmounted by the 
large house of the Cranes, the Ipswich home of the Aug-

estate is the winding Ipswici 
river leading out to sea. At 
this season the river presents a 
lively and attractive scene dotted 
as it is with little pleasure crafts 
and the little tugs carrying the 
many passengers to and from 
Little Neck, which looks from 
the Searle estate to be quite a 
little village of sumer cottages.
