Extensive changes and additions 
are being made to the Fellner cot- 
tage on Singing Beach, Manchester, 
recently purchased by Mr. and Mrs. 
George E. Warren. The stable has 
been moved to a new location, and 
a garage is being constructed. An 
extensive addition is being made to 
the house and interior changes are 
also being made. Roberts & Hoare 
are the general contractors, D. Line- 
han & Son is doing the foundation 
work, E. S. Bradley is installing a 
new system of plumbing and G. A. 
Knoerr has the contract for the wir- 
ing and E. A. Lane for the painting. 
Edward S. Bradley, the Central 
street, Manchester, plumber, has 
just finished a large contract at 
Winchester, started last fall, which 
included the installation of a com- 
plete new heating system in one of 
Winchester’s largest residences. 
Among the improvements which 
have been made at the W. A. Tucker 
estate, at West Manchester, the past 
winter, is the construction of an at- 
tractive new boat house, built at the 
edge of the stone pier, which has 
also been rebuilt this winter. 
George C. Leach is having im- 
provements made at his property on 
Central street, Manchester, recently 
occupied as a parochial residence. 
An attractive iron fence is being 
built around the estate of Thomas 
P. Beals on Ober and Neptune sts., 
Beverly Cove. 
One of the large elms formerly on 
the Y. M. C. A. lot at Beverly is 
now adorning the estate of Judge 
W. H. Moore at Pride’s Crossing. 
It was removed the first of this week 
and the task of moving it through 
the streets from Beverly to Pride’s 
Crossing was a tedious one. 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
Contractors. are figuring on a cot- 
tage for the Misses Friend and 
Ketchum of Brooklyn, N. Y., at West 
Gloucester, also on the cottage soon 
to be erected at Eastern Point, East 
Gloucester, for William Taft of Ar- 
lington, which it is said, will cost 
over $40,000. Ezra Phillips of Glou- 
cester is the architect for the Taft 
house. 
Important improvements are in 
progress at Hawthorne Inn, which 
include a new casino, which is being 
joined on the rear end of the tea 
house building, which it is rumored 
may be utilized this season as a grill 
club and restaurant. The old casino 
will be remodeled for guest rooms. 
Miss Effie Poole will not conduct a 
tea house and antique studio in the 
building this season, as she did last, 
but will be associated with her fath- 
er in his Gloucester antique rooms. 
The advent of spring sees the con- 
tinuance of the development of the 
hill lands at Bass Rocks commenced 
last autumn, to permit the extension 
of the golf course to 18 holes, and 
the opening up of new building sites. 
This is being done by the Souther 
estate heirs and trustees, at an es- 
timated cost of $50,000, which will 
open that part of the property in 
the rear of the Patch line, near 
Grapevine cove and in the rear of 
the ocean front boulevard, near the 
Stacey Colonial cottage and Mrs. Fan- 
nie Robertson’s estate. 
Work is being rushed on the new 
summer home of Mrs. Henry W. 
Peabody, at Montserrat. The house 
will command an imposing view on 
the hill, opposite the Montserrat sta- 
tion. It is surrounded with pine 
trees and has a fine view of the 
ocean. The first story will be of 
stone and the upper portion will be 
finished with the slap dash effect. 
The general dimensions of the house 
are 70x 30. Blakie of Boston is the 
architect. 
The chewing-gum girl lives from 
hand to mouth.
