A Review of the Winter’s 
Activities — Changes at 
Pride’s, etc. 
THE residence of Mrs. Edwin Carlton Swift, whose 
estate at Pride’s Crossing is called “Swiftmoor,” 
has undergone a notable change in the addition of a large 
wing to the already big house. This wing is at the right 
end of the house, and balances the original wing on the 
left, which forms the service part, and it is of three stor- 
ies to correspond with it. There is an excellent basement, 
giving four more rooms for servants, and on the floors 
above is a spacious “tapestry room,” as it is to be known, 
also six bedrooms and baths and dressing-rooms planned 
for the use of guests. What formerly was the music- 
room of the original mansion has been materially extend- 
ed into the new wing, making of it a large room over- 
looking the terraces and water beyond. The tapestry 
room is finished in old oak panelling brought from an 
ancient house in England, and it has been introduced 
with fine effect by Mrs. Swift's architects, Little & 
Browne of Boston. Mrs. Swift possesses several valuable 
pieces of fine tapestry, five or six in all, and they are 
about 12 by 14 feet in size, hence require a large apart- 
ment in which to hang them properly, and in this new 
room they will find a suitable setting. The various rooms 
for guests are all attractive in their finish, and each has 
a fine outlook. In other parts of the house there has been 
a general renovation with painting and redecoration. 
Mitchell & Sutherland carried out the architect’s plans.

ON the summer estate of Mr. and Mrs. Charles K. 
Cummings, at Pride’s Crossing, a combination gar- 
age and stable has been built from plans by Mr. Cum- 
mings. It comprises a central portion with two wings, 
one at each end. In the main part is the carriage house, 
of good dimensions, with also a washroom, harness-room 
and other modern fittings. In one wing is the garage, 
with ample accommodations for cars, while the other wing 
has stalls for three horses. ‘The second floor provides, in 
addition to a big hayloft, rooms for use by the chauffeur 
and the coachman. The building is shingled all over and 
has a pitched room with three dormers, and there is a 
cupola, octagonal in outline, which gives an attractive 
finish. 
Almost adjoining is a new stable erected for Robert 
Treat Paine, whose place is alongside that of Mr. Cum- 
mings, who is the architect for this improvement for Mr. 
Paine. The stable is of the farm barn type and com- 
bines also a garage, with room for two cars. The stable 
which has wide sliding doors, contains one box and two 
single stalls, a harness-room, cleaning or workroom and 
like equipment. On the second story there is a hayloft, 
and rooms have been provided for the coachman and 
chauffeur. The exterior finish is of shingles. Publi- 
cover Bros. of Beverly Farms were the builders for Mr. 
Cummings and also for Mr. Paine. These two buildings 
replace the stable-garage which Mr. Paine and Mr.
