26 NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
An attractive facade is obtained by a generous use of 
turned wood columns up to the second story. The 
steps to the entrance of the house are of concrete, with 
railings of the same material. On the first floor is a 
dining room, finished in gumwood; a parlor with a 
granolithie floor; servants’ dining room and piazza. A 
large sun parlor occupies the south side of the house 
on the ground floor. On the second floor are three 
guests rooms, owner’s chamber, a sleeping balcony di- 
rectly over the sun porch, three servants’ rooms and 
three baths. On the top floor there are three guest 
rooms and bath. The large piazza on the first floor is 
finished with a granolithic floor. Little & Brown of 
Boston were the architect; J. T. Wilson & Sons of 
Nahant were the builders. 
The summer residence at Blackwell’s Cliff, Swamp- 
seott, of Willoughby H. Stewart, whose father was Brit- 
ish vice-consul at Boston some years ago, has been 
thoroughly renovated and overhauled the past winter. 
Mr. Stewart is already occupying his place for the 
season. 
Hadley B. Dodge of Lynn has erected a substan- 
tial 214 story dwelling at Swampscott on land of the 
Essex Land Trust of Lynn on their tract on the hill 
in the rear of the New Ocean House, called ‘‘Ocean 
View.’’ 
Thomas Hunt of Boston will occupy this season a 
new house erected this spring at Roger’s Point, Swamp- 
scott. It is of terra cotta finish, 2144 stories; there is a 
shingled roof with gabled ends. The first floor is fin- 
ished in quartered oak, with the second floor of rift 
hard pine. Besides the usual kitchen, pantries, etc., 
on the first floor there are a reception room, front hall, 
dining room and library. There are six chambers and 
two baths on the second floor. Howard A. Doane of 
Pride’s Crossing was the builder; James T. Kelley of 
Boston designed the plans. 
ARBLEHEAD NECK is to have another charming 
and pretentious summer dwelling added to its eol- 
ony when the new stucco summer thome for Henry A. 
Morss of Brookline is finished, as it is expected to be this 
season. Mr, Morss is the owner of the picturesque house- 
boat Haleyon, which is modelled after the manner of 
the craft of the time of Columbus. This boat is a fami- 
har sight in Marblehead harbor during the summer and 
attracts not a little attention by reason of its odd con- 
struction. Mr. Morss has had his architects show equal 
originality in planning his new summer home and it will 
be one of the prettiest on the shore. It is situated on 
the inner shore of the Neck, between the Corinthian 
and Eastern Yacht clubs and has its own private boat 
landing. A modern and well equipped garage is one 
of the features connected with Mr. Morss’s new home. 
The Morss house is two stories in height, with an 
Italian tile roof and stucco sides. A terrace is planned 
to set off the grounds, which will reach to the rocks in 
front of the house. The house itself is but a few yards 
from the water’s edge. While the house is entirely 
substantial in every way, its appearance is perhaps a 
trifle more decorative then others in the vicinity be- 
cause of the fact that it is the only new house on the 
inland shore of Marblehead harbor. It is not expected 
to be completed before August 1. In the main part of 
the house, off the main hall, are the retiring room, 
breakfast room, dining room, a closed porch encased in 
glass on the south side and a loggia of stucco construc- 
tion on the water side. In the wing on the northern 
side on the first floor are the servants’ hall and the ser- 
vice portion. Above the entrance on the ground floor 
are carved cast stone heads, which add much to the ap- 
pearence of the finish. These decorations are also 
placed above all of the windows on the first floor. 
Two iron balconies overlook the water on the 
second story. The plans on this floor include five cham- 
bres, a large hall, four servants’ bedrooms and five 
baths. In the attic there is a playroom for Mr. Morss’s 
son, a man’s room, bath and storage room. 
A garage which will accommodate three ears, also 
of stucco, with Italian roof, is being built on the pro- 
perty. The dimensions are 24 x42 feet. On the second 
floor are three chambers and bath; also a storage room. . 
The garage is finished in front with a decorative wood- 
en trellis, which will be ivy-covered when the grounds 
are finished. Morrison & Young of Salem are the gen- 
eral contractors; George S. Sinnicks of Manchester-by- 
the-Sea is in charge of the stucco work; Coolidge & 
Carlson of Boston are the architects. 
A new one-story bungalow has been completed this 
spring for Robert Stone of Brookline on the waterfront 
at Marblehead Neck. The architecture is semi-Italian, 
two short wings extending from the main part of the 
structure to form a shallow court. An old-fashioned 
arbor completes a most charming facade. The exterior 
is done in stucco, with a shingled roof. The bungalow 
has been designed as a summer dwelling solely, being 
of the low, rambling type, with not a hint of severity 
in its make-up. There is a living room, dining room, 
a loggia overlooking the ocean, six chambers and ser- 
vants’ quarters. Putnam & Cox of Boston were the de- 
signers, Thomas D. Snow of Marblehead doing the 
building. 
Edmund H. Talbot of Bay State road, Boston, is 
the possessor of one of the most charming bungalows 
on the North Shore. It is situated on Ocean Ave., 
Marblehead Neck. It is stucco finished, both exterior 
and interior and is one story high. Besides the living 
and dining rooms, there are six master’s chambers with 
three baths; also, two servants’ rooms. Putnam & 
Cox of Boston were the architects; Thomas D. Snow of 
Marblehead the contractor. 
A large tennis court has been installed on the 
grounds of the Eastern Yacht club, Marblehead Neck, 
this season and will be finished about the 20th of this 
month. It has been specially constructed by Connolly 
Bros. of Beverly Farms and is in addition to the two 
courts which have always been used on the club 
grounds. It is sereened by many large spruce trees. 
Since tennis has become very popular with the lady 
guests at the club the original courts have been inade- 
quate to meet the demands of the players. The new 
court will solve the problem for the tennis enthusiasts. 
A! GLOVER PARK, Marblehead, a newly developed 
resort property just below the causeway on the 
mainland overlooking the ocean, Greeley S. Curtis of 
the Burgess Co. & Curtis, aeroplane manufacturers of 
Marblehead, has erected a two-story dwelling of stucco 
construction. The property is that of the old Isaae C. 
Wyman estate, which had been in the latter’s family 
for the last century. This section of Marblehead promi- 
ses to be one of the most popular for summer building 
in the feature, for it is the highest point of land in 
Marblehead, 35 feet higher than the famous Abbott hall,
