‘Charles S. Dana has purchi ised the estate of Mrs. 
Robert L. Raymond on Beach street, Manchester. The 
estate adjoins that of Richard S$. Lovering and commands 
a splendid view of Manchester harbor. The property 
contains about seven acres of land and a summer resi- 
dence. The sale was made through the office of T. Dennie 
Boardman, Reginald Boardman and R. de B. Boardman. 
The house was built in the fall and winter season of 1910 
and 1911 and is on what was formerly the Tappan estate, 
which combines many natural features to make an espe- 
cially fitting setting for a house of this character. Big 
rocks, tall trees which afford shade and a little brook add 
to the general attractiveness of the place. It is at the 
corner of Beach street, the main thoroughfare leading to 
the section famiharly haw as Sinith’s: Point, and ‘Old 
Neck road, on which the Lovering estate is situated. The 
house is of English Gothic type and was planned by James 
Jurdon, prominent among Boston architects, and was 
built by R. D. Donaldson ‘of Lincoln. It has an exterior 
finish of stucco and it is quaint in appearance. The in- 
terior was planned by the architect to assure entire com- 
fort for the occupants. It contains the usual spacious 
hall, living and dining-rooms, library and chambers and 
baths. The hall shows an English treatment of the stair- 
way, with halfway landing. Large fireplaces are a feat- 
ure in many rooms,
