Building Suggested for Corner of Pine and Bennett Sts., Manchester 
UMMER shops are coming to be a most important and 
noticeable feature of the development and growth of 
the North Shore as a summer resort. Magnolia’s growth 
as a shopping center is one of the most amazing things of 
the last decade in this direction. Other places are show- 
ing evidences of like development. It is now reported 
that the property at the corner of Pine and Bennett 
streets, Manchester (opposite the Pierce studio), where 
a stable was located for a generation, until the automobile 
arrived, is to be developed by the erection of a casino-like 
structure, with one main entrance into a beautiful court, 
from which the dozen or more small stores are reached. 
Laid Corner-stone of Memorial Hospital in Ipswich 
N the midst of a representative gathering of townspeople 
and the Ipswich summer colony, Mr. and Mrs. 
Richard T. Crane, Jr., laid the corner-stone of the Benja- 
min Stickney Cable Memorial Hospital on County road, 
in Ipswich, last Saturday, July 22. The hospital is to 
be the gift of Mr. and Mrs. Crane to the town, in memory 
of their friend, Benjamin Stickney Cable, who was killed 
in an automobile accident last September in Ipswich. 
“Perhaps another generation will pass before there 
will be a gathering in Ipswich for a similar purpose,” 
were the words with which Bayard Tuckerman of Ipswich 
prefaced the short address he made after the stone had 
been laid. Herbert W. Mason, president of the hospital 
association, had charge of the exercises. The filling of 
the copper box with its precious documents was interest- 
ing as well as being a very solemn occasion. Rev. Wm. 
J. Kelly offered prayer. Then came the chairman of 
the selectmen of the various towns of Ipswich, Hamilton, 
Essex, Rowley and Topsfield, who made brief addresses 
upon depositing their respective documents. For the town 
of Ipswich Dr. F. W. Kyes deposited an engrossed scroll, 
setting forth the appreciation for the hospital felt by the 
people of Ipswich. Luther W. Wait, past commander of 
en. Ja'‘res Appleton post, G. A. R., deposited a G. A. R. 
button and two small American flags. Mr. Crane put in 
several personal mementos sent by Mrs. Cable, and also 
several personal things belonging to him and to Mrs. 
Crane. The list of names of the trustees and of the 
various committees was read and placed in the box by 
the Rey. ‘I. Franklin Waters of Ipswich, secretary of 
the association. Howard N. Doughty, the treasurer, put 
in a coin of 1916, Mr. Mason, according to custom, put 
in a newspaper, the copy being one of The Ipswich 
Chronicle of July 21. Mr. and Mrs. Crane then stood by 
the stone while the box was sealed and placed within, 
after which they ceremoniously laid the stone. Bayard 
Tuckerman of “Sunswick” then made the principal ad- 
dress of the occasion. Fr. John M. Donovan pronounced 
the benediction. Among those present were Mr. and Mrs. 
Charles Crane of Wood’s Hole, who were guests at 
“Castle Hill,” the estate of the Cranes; Mrs. Crane’s 
father, H. N. Higinbotham, Francis R. Appleton, Mrs. 
Daniel F. Appleton, Mrs. Bayard Tuckerman, Mrs. Evans 
Dick, Mrs. C. S. Tuckerman, Mr. and Mrs. Gerald L. 
Hoyt, Mrs. Frederick J. Alley, Mrs. Herbert Mason, 
Mrs. H. N. Doughty, George E. Barnard, Mrs. F. B. 
Harrington, Mrs. John Heard and Miss Heard, Prof. 
Arthur Dow, Mrs. T. F. Waters, the Rev. Wm: G. Thay- 
ers, Rev. Roland Cotton-Smith, Mrs. Joseph F. Woods 
and others from the Appleton Farms and Argilla road 
colonies. The new hospital will occupy one of the most 
sightly places in Ipswich. It is located on the Barnard 
property at the corner of Essex street and the County 
road. The site is of considerable elevation and affords 
a fine view in all directions. The building will be one 
of the finest and best equipped in New England for its 
size. It will be ready for occupancy next spring. Ipswich 
had long made plans for providing the town with a hos- 
pital, which had never materialized until the Cranes, who 
have been of the summer colony on Argilla road for 
several years, generously offered one as a memorial for 
their friend. The executive committee includes R. T. 
Crane, Jr., Bayard Tuckerman, Herbert W. Mason and 
Howard N. Doughty. On the finance committee are John 
S. Lawrence, George EK. Barnard and John Tuckerman.
