GLOUCESTER is to have a new summer hotel, erected 
on the site of the Surfside, destroyed by fire several 
years ago. The property is located on Western ave., at 
the entrance to the city from the Magnolia section. W. 
Henry Smith, manager of the Belmont café, is at the 
head of the enterprise. Stone masons are now at work 
getting the foundation ready for the building of a modern, 
up-to-date hostelry on the famous site. 
Architect Ezra L. Phillips has completed plans for a 
beautiful structure of Colonial design with gambrel roof, 
which will be finished with clapboards, painted white, 
while the roof will be stained green, making a pleasing 
exterior and fitting in nicely with the surroundings. The 
new buildings will occupy practically the same ground 
as the old hotel. 
The entrance will be from Western avenue and the 
driveway will be under a porte cochere with handsome 
colonial columns. The lobby will be 40x34 feet, and 
opposite the entrance will be a large open fireplace and 
alcove. On the left as one enters will be the hotel office 
and private office for the hotel manager. On the other 
side will be a colonial stairway, leading to the second 
floor. Beyond the office on the left, leading from the 
lobby will be the dining room, 34x51 feet. The ceiling 
will be beamed and the walls dadoed. Beyond this will 
be the kitchen and pantries which will be large and roomy 
and of such sufficient size to prepare for and serve a 
large number of guests. The dining room and all the 
main widows on the first floor are to be of large plate 
glass so as to give a clear and unbroken view of the 
beautiful harbor and surroundings. Running the whole 
length of the front will be a broad piazza looking directly 
on the harbor. On the extreme right of the main lobby 
is a writing room on the harbor side and a dressing room 
for ladies on the entrance side. Beyond these rooms will 
be the large hotel parlor, 22x34, which will be luxuriously 
fitted, as will be the rest of the new hostelry. Opening 
directly from the parlor through French windows will be 
another large open porch, 25x35 feet. 
The second floor will contain 18 large guest rooms 
with bath room suites and also a large public bath room. 
In the basement will be located men’s rooms and a billiard 
and smoking room. 
It is the intention to use the stone foundation of the 
old Surfside after the stones are thoroughly inspected, 
tested and repaired.- Stone masons are already at work 
and carpenters will start shortly on the building itself. 
The contract has been awarded to Edward S. Griffin, a 
local contractor.

ORNAMENTS,” by Mary H. Northend of 
Salem, is beautifully illustrated volume that will 
appeal to all lovers of gardens, whether of the formal or 
GARDEN 
of the old fashioned kind. 
most charming manner of pergolas, tea-houses, pools, 
sun-dials, fountains, bird baths, paths, steps and pottery. 
The book is a happy blending of interesting historical 
facts, gossip about pretty flowers, and practical instrue- 
tion about how to make a garden a “thing of beauty.” 
The reader will soon be convinced that Miss Northend 
speaks ‘‘with authority,” and that she not only knows, but 
loves her subject. In the chapter on sun-dials we are 
told that they were first used by the Babylonians in the 
eighth century before Christ, that sun-dials were very 
popular in the sixteenth century and that Charles I had 
a very fine collection of them. The 32 full-page illus- 
trations add much to the attractiveness of the volume. 
Practically all of the pictures are of North Shore gardens 
and scenes. Duffield & Company, publishers, 211 West
