Though work is dull on the average with
carpenters and masons, as is usual at this
time of the year, considerable is being done
in the erection of new buildings, either in
factories or tenement houses, and the pros
pect is excellent for very busy times in build
ing in the spring. rumor was current on
the street Saturday that at the Winchester
armory another immense new building four
stories high was soon to be erected, in addi
ton to the present large building which Chat
field & Grant are erecting for the company.
On inquiry it was found that the rurnor was
little premature, but Che impression is that
there will have to be still further enlarge
ment of this mammoth gun shop this year.
The building now being erected will, it is
said be ready for work about the first of
July.
Another rumor on the street is that j.
M. Martins gun shop, old site of Millers
Garden, is to be enlarged by the addition of
large new building and the addition of
another story to one of the present shops.
1t is also rumorod that joint stock compa-
ny is to be formed. Business at the estab
| ishment is very brisk.
| At Whitney Armory business is also very
| brisk, large force of hands being employed.
More building is being done at one time in
| the vicinity of Jocelyn Square in the eastern
| portion of the city than was ever known be-
| FORE Four neat and well built new houses
are completed externally and are being fin
| ished inside on Wallace street fronting the
| square. These are built by an estate which
Lawyer Alling has charge of, and which is
erecting three or four more directly back of
| there on Hamilton street, fronting toward
the East Rock Axle shop. Then at the cor
>ner of Wallace and Humphrey streets new
brick dwelling with store is half finished,
| while fronting the opposite side of the park
| on East street two two-story frame dwellings
| have just been erected, and another small
frame house is nearly finished on Walnut
| street fronting the south side of the square.
J. Burton Hine has two neat and substan-
tial frame two-story houses just erected
in the rear of Bishop street, and has exca-
waited the cellars for two more to be finished by
spring. A number of new and superior
houses hitherto spoken of are being finished
in this section of the city. A frame house is
bling ERECTED on .States 81 80; Cedar Hill!
The New Haven and Northampton Railroad
company's handsome, substantial new brick
building on Water street, with stone trim
mings, begins to loom up-ons of the best
buildings erected on that street in years.
Sargent Il Co., down below on the same
street, are invariably erecting some new
building be it winter or summer. They are
finishing one now, and in the spring will go
ahead with their other new buildings, for
which the spiling was driven last fall.
There are rumors of another new factory
for Grapevine Point, if parties can consum-
mate the plans they have in view.
The new Trinity church to be erected the
coming spring and summer by the Methodists,
on the corner of Dwight and George streets,
will be one of the most important new build
ings to be erected in New Haven this year.
1t will be handsome brick structure with
tasteful trimmings of stone, will have en-
frances the two streets, and will be sur
mounted by fine tower The plans are now
in the hands of the builders, for estimates.
This church will do away with the Wesley
chapel and West Chapel street churches,
which will probably be disposed of to pur-
chasers The new edifce will be an ornament
to that fine section, and it is believed its loca-
ton will be advantageous for both the con-
gregations.
A nice new house is fast nearing completion
on Whalley avenue at No. 15S. It is being
erected by William L. Roberts, jr., who has a
livery and sale stable on the adjoining lot in
the rear. He made purchase of about 65
feet front, which leaves him a driveway on
the side.
G. M. Baldwin is erecting block of two
houses of good style and appearance on Howe
street, a short distance below the corner of
the street and Whalley avenue. They add to
the good appearance of that section, and con-
siderable building has been done in that Sec
ton in the last few years.
It is rumored that Mr.. J. W. Nichols, the
insurance man, will erect a handsome resi-
dence on Whitney avenue the coming season.
The New Haven Folding Chair company
have the roof of the former Lindsay firearms
building raised in the air for the purpose of
adding couple of stories more to it, and
