A NEW SUBURB ABOUT To BE STARTED ON THE p,
W. Il B. RAILROAD.
1t has been announced that sale of lots for
building purposes will be held on Wednesday
next on the p, W. & B. Railroad, at Ravensburg.
a suburb situated seven miles from the heart of
the city and in immediate proximity to Glenol-
den and Norwood stations The ground inciud-
ed within the plot around Rayensburg is divided
into GAG lots % feet in width and varying from
1870 to 200 feet in depth, and comprises 81 acres
of ground suitable for handsome suburban resi-
dences.
There is dense copse which will be reserved
for free park. There is also plot which is to
be reserved for the same purpose, thus, affordng
the future inhabitants of Ravensburg abundance
OF room for pleasurable enjoyment and recrea-
ton, when the encroachments OF time shall have
changed the country roads leading in all direc-
tiona into stately streets, and shall have more
than quadrupled the value of their purchases
plot has been set apart for the purpose OF
erecting thereon building for the use of a fe-
male college,. The plans are now being execut-
ed. The present owner has already donated the
ground for the purpose, which includes about
fonr acres, in prominent and commanding po-
sition aud Is we'll adapted for the purpose to
which it is designed
II is stated that the sum to be spent in this
Improvement will not fall short of $3.50, 900 ana
Will thus enhance the value of adj jacent proper
ty. The major portion Of this tract has been
since 1858 III the possessian 4 the Knowles fam
lily, having been ceded to them by William Penn.
II lies chiefly upon the Northern side Of the
railroad adjoining Glenolden. On the Southern
side of the road it extends to Norwood rs far as
Old Chester pike. The entire property is in the
form OF a trapezium square, and IL laid out to
the best possible advantage for the best adapta-
tiou to building purposes. Its facilities of ac-
cess from the city are even greater than those of
Ridley Park, and it promises in a short time to
be hourishing suburb.
The principal avenues of the new suburbs
named Ravensburg, Spring Grove, Marston
Whitney, and Knowles, are already graded and
the entire number of lots staked Off for the con-
veniencs and safety of purchasers 80 that those
desiring to inspect the site of this coming viii
lage may select the plots of grounds upon
which they will place their bids on Wednesday
next, the day of sale.
Several parties are at present inquiring in re-
ference to certain lots, but every purchaser will
be treated alike. Mr.. R4ffensperger, the mana
ger of this sale, has been well known in this line
of business The Land Oiener a journal de-
voted especially to the real estate business,
states that the skill he has displayed in the man
agsment OF large and important sales attracted
the attention of parties at distance, and MIR.
Raffensperger was requested TO take charge Of
several important and extensive enterprises in
