INCE last season a new garage of bungalow style has 
been completed on the Magnolia road in Manchester 
for William H. Coolidge, on what was formerly the Blyn- 
mann estate. ‘The building is of solid stone construction 
with its roof showing “snub-nosed” gabels, as architects 
term them, and with dormers having diamond panes. 
The interior finish likewise is of stone with the ceiling 
done in asbestos. ‘There is enough space for five cars, a 
work room and turntable in the centre. On the second 
floor are two bedrooms and bath, as well as a dormitory. 
The building is from plans by Samuel J. Brown of Bos- 
ton, and it was built by M. Kehoe of Magnolia. Also 
for Mr. Coolidge a small bungalow has been built on the 
beach front, on the lower land across the highway from 
his house. There is a main living room, 40 by 30 feet 
in size, each end of which is provided with a stone fire- 
place six feet deep. Bookcases are made around the walls 
and the windows show large plates, to give a wide ex- 
panse of view. There is a broad covered veranda on the 
water side and in the rear a wing, 41 by 20 feet, con- 
taining eight bathrooms and a shower. The exterior fin- 
ish is of shingles and there are big chimneys of cobble- 
stones. A substantial seawall has been constructed, to 
protect the place from the water. This bungalow also 
was planned by Mr. Brown. 
HENRY PRATT McKEAN, JR., whose marriage to 
Miss Elizabeth Lee, eldest of the four daughters 
of Mr. and Mrs. George Lee of Brookline, is to take place 
soon after his graduation from Harvard in June, has 
planned some changes at the George W. Stillman farm 
on the Wenham-Beverly Farms road, which property 
he recently purchased. ‘There is not a great deal of land, 
but the place includes a frame dwelling, barn, etc. Mr. 
McKean bought also the adjoining Henry Stillman place, 
corner of Hull street and Grapevine road, so that he will 
not lack sufficient acreage. ‘The alterations on the farm- 
house and the remodelling he has planned himself, to ex- 
actly meet his needs. A breakfast room is to be added, 
for one change, the rooms will be rearranged and gener- 
ally improved, and there will be new service equipment, 
new baths and several rooms will be made from the for- 
mer large attic. Sundry other changes, all carried out by 
J. T. Wilson & Son of Nahant, will make the house most 
comfortable. 
AN addition in the form of a sun room has been made 
to the residence of Sydney E. Hutchinson of Phil- 
adelphia, whose summer place on the shore is at West 
Beach, Beverly Farms. This large sun room was planned 
by Arnold M. Moses, a Philadelphia architect. ‘The room 
has very broad plate windows overlooking the tennis pa- 
villion and court and in its whole finish it is a most de- 
lightful part of the house. The work was done by H. A. 
Doane of Pride’s Crossing. 
SINCE the purchase by S. Reed Anthony of the old- 
time Luke “hill house,” as it familiarly is known, at 
Beverly Farms, changes and alterations have been under- 
taken by Publicover Brothers, to make the house far more 
comfortable and modern in its interior plan than it for- 
merly was. 
HE C. M. Cabot house at the corner of Hale and 
Hart streets, Beverly Farms, which was moved back 
from the highway to a new location nearby, has been re- 
modelled and much improved by Hardy & Day and the 
grounds have been regraded and changed by D. Linehan 
& Son. 
SHORE BREEZE and Reminder 
CHANGES are to be made in the home of Quincy A. 
Shaw, 2d, Preston place, on the Beverly Farms-Wen- 
ham road, and plans for the alterations are being prepared 
by Amos A. Lawrence of Boston. When carried out, they 
will about double the size of the present house. The new 
wing will include a living room, 22 by 40 feet in dimen- 
sions, with a deep fireplace, and adjoining this room there 
will be a new.covered piazza. A square hall will be gained 
by the changes, also a new stairway, and above all these 
there will be several bedroom suites and over the piazza 
a loggia for sleeping in the open. A new front entrance 
will be of plainest possible treatment and the roadway 
approach to the house is to be materially changed in its 
course and condition. The older part of the house is 
to remain much as it has been, as to exterior, yet will 
undergo interior alterations to enlarge the dining room 
and to greatly improve the service end of the house. To 
do this, the former main starway will be removed, and 
with the original hall will give room for the improve- 
ments. The new wing, like the rest of the house, will 
have a pitched roof with dormers. 
[NCLUDED in the improvements of the season at Bevy- 
erly Farms is a wing which has been added to the 
Allen Curtis residence on Oak street. It provides a large 
living room with good fireplace and beautiful interior 
finish. Above this a chamber and connecting bath, also, 
a second story loggia available for outdoor sleeping. The 
work was planned by Parker, Thomas & Rice of Boston, 
and L. D. Willcott’s Sons Company carried out the plans. 
PtANS have been prepared by Parker, Thomas & Rice 
of Boston for a garage to be built on the estate 
of Charles F. Ayer, who calls his place at Hamilton Four 
Corners, “Juniper Ridge.” The garage is to be of brick 
construction, thoroughly modern and fireproof, and will 
be fitted with all the latest devices and improvements for 
the housing and proper care of cars. It will be spacious 
enough to accommodate three machines and in addition 
to its other equipment will include a bedroom and bath 
for the use of the chauffeur. 
MATERIAL addition has been made to the resi- 
dence of Mr. and Mrs. John Silsbee Curtis, Stor- 
row Hill, Beverly Farms, where the changes have in- 
cluded a large living room, with fireplace, a new main 
stairway and enlarged hall, several extra bedrooms and 
other improvements, such as new heating and plumbing. 
The casement windows have been given small diamond 
panes. ‘The changes were planned by Chapman & Frazier 
and Roberts & Hoare of Manchester carried out the plans. 
A FORMAL garden on a broad plan has been laid out 
for Alanson L. Daniels, whose summer place, “Old 
Farm,” is on Maple street in Wenham. It was planned 
by Mrs. L. E. Shipman, landscape architect of New 
York and New Hampshire, and her scheme of develop- 
ment was carried out by Connolly Bros. 
ORK was recently started on a new garage on the 
Henry L. Higginson place, Sunset Hill, at West 
Manchester. It is a small single-story building with hip 
roof and of terra-cotta block construction, with plastered 
exterior. ‘The roof is slated. The garage, which will 
hold three cars, is to be fitted with the latest devices for 
the proper care of automobiles. Ingraham & Hopkins, the 
Boston architects, drew the plans and the work is in the 
hands of Publicover Brothers of Beverly Farms and D. 
Linehan & Son of Pride’s Crossing.
