SEINE Of the New Dwellings Go be Seen
Along inner MIL street


No portion of the city shows more
marked improvement within the past
three or four months than that in the
neiRhborbood of Upper Mill and Wash
ington streets The number of new and
really fine residences lately built in this
neighborhood Is remarkable, and per-
sons who have not recently taken a walk
in that direction cannot but be sur
prised at seeing them. The first of
these to catch the eye is the Queen
Anne cottage being erected by James
Parks, at the intersection of Alden,
Mill and Sixth streets The location of
| this building Is magnificent. and is net
surpassed BY any in the city. Facing
the bay, one commands an uninter-
| rupted view of the city, the bay and the
Olympic range In the distance. The
| cottage itself Is to be a model, no pains
being Sc ared to make II complete in
every particular. 1t il 81 feet long and
! is broad aud one story and half IN
| height, with an l. which measures ltxl6
feet. In style it is pure Queen Anne.
| The material used las been throughout
the very best, and all the modern i'm
provements will be introduced into the
Building. The city possesses few resi-
dences more complete. comfortable and
slightly than tlls will be.
Some distance from this is the resi-
dence of Robert Sullivan, situated at
the corner of Fifth and Terrace streets.
This also occupies a most comman ding
situation. The building is a large
| square structure, around three sides of
which runs a porch opening from the
rooms in the second story. The APP
pearance Is striking, and the observer IS
[ sure to notice this residence.
Returning to Mill street and oontinu-
ing our way up the hill, we come TO the
partially completed residence of Mr..
Probst, of the frm of Mehlhorn Il
| Probst. This is on the right hand side
| of the street, and while not calculated
| to attract special attention, is neat and
| attractive IN appearance. Ii is two
stories in height and is nicely finished
| inside. Here also the much used mod
/ ern improvements" will be brought into
| requl5ltlon.
Further on, beyond Ninth street, is
| the residence of Mr.. SCOTT. This is al
ready completed and occupied and it is
a most attractive place. The building,
| painted dark color, is two stories in
height, with bay windows on the west
and north sides. A tasty little veranda
leads to the front door, which occupies
an angle formed by the intersection of
the main building and an l.. A tower
which ornaments the front is one story
| higher than the main building. Around
| the roof of this is a neat railing, and
| from this elevate perch is obtained a
magnificent view, extending from the
| Cascades to the Olympic mountains.
| This building rests on a solid brick
| foundation, and its entire appearance
conveys the idea of strength and dura-
bility.
To the right and some distance down
the hill are two neat residences which
front on Washington street. These are
exceedingly attractive and are among
the greatest ornaments of that portion
of the city. They were erected by Paul
Singerman, ESQ.,, of the firm of Toklas
/ 4 Singerman.
Further up the street is the residence
Of Moses korn, Esq, which adds
| another attraction to the many already
enumerated. This is probably a more
expensive building than many of those
| mentioned and il is universally ad-
nired. 1t is complete in every particu-
lar. and Is one of the finest buildings
which have been lately erected and
which so ornament the portion of the
city vaguely known as "on the hill''
