Baldwin is the mason builder. Quite an old house was pulled down to make room for the new building. It was one of the landmarks in the locality, but General Washington never stopped there, strange as it may seem.
 The notable enlargement of the Crockett < Futile Go. carriage establishment is progress ing fast. The repository building on Goffe street has been extended to the east property line of the concern and then extended at 8 right angle about 15O feet in depth, giving splendid repository and wide enough for six lines of carriages. The whole repository will accommodate about 15O carriages. The con- cern has purchased about 45 feet more front on Goffe street on the west. The purchase included the Turner house, which has been pulled down, and the additional land is util- ized for driveway to the rear buildings and premises. The Turner house was quite ven erable, and one of the authorities on land
 marks in that locality thinks it was the first house built on Goffe street
