AN ATTRACTIVE PLACE.
Dayton's bluff has always been one of
the most attractive portions of ST. Paul.
though not all who have lived in st. Paul
and dealt in real estate have been able TO
see il. The late Col. Hewett had more
confidence in investments on Dayton's bluff
than most men. The interminable suits At
law between Mrs. Dayton and her son, Ly-
man c. Dayton. and other parties, the ever
lasting probate business and the long con-
tinued quarrels between the administrator.
the late Parker Paine, and the DaytOns.
served 10 deter Col. Hewett, as well as
others, from buying any of the Dayton es-
tate, which comprised about all there was
on the bluff. He did purchase some. how
ever. two or three blocks near where p H.
Kelly resides, all of which has fully justi-
he'd the good opinion he held of real estate
in that part of the city. The colonel had
an eye for the beautiful, and always MAIN
tanned that when proper and convenient
access could be had TO that part of town the
Dayton BLUM property would come to the
'front.' with great rapidity. and eventually
would come 10 be one of the most beautiful
ana attractive parts of the city of ST. Paul.
THE PREDICTION CONES TRUE.
The prediction OF Col. Hewett is being
rapidly fulfilled. Access has been secured
to the bluff over the Seventh street ill.
This immense piece of work is familiar TO
all. 1t took year and a half or two wears
to complete it. 1t required the displace-
ment of 2l0, 600 yards of earth. which with
the masonry and other work cost S2l3. 600.
This work is solid and substantial; and
what is the result? 1t is precisely what
Col. Hewett always maintained ii would be.
The natural beauty of the bluff, its charm
ing location with reference to superb views
which enables the behOlder TO take in at
one glance one of the grandest, most wide
spread and varied scenes TO be found any
where in the city of St. Paul. All strangers
who come here are naturally struck with
the natural beauty of this grand and extern
slve plateau that lies along the eastern side
OF the city. Hoffman and Maria avenues
are two of the most attractive thorough
fares in st. Paul. and both are built up TO
a considerable extent and many more costly
dwellings will be added to those already
there. All over the bluff are to be found
some Of the most charming sites for dwell
ing houses. The elevations are most de-
lightful and picturesque, affording pleasant
views in all directions. The crosse streets.
especially, are quiet and home like. and
yet the residents upon them are
within very short distance of
that grand business thOrOughfare,
SEVENTH STREET.
This street is over six miles in length.
and at each end opens out into the country.
The country naturally becomes tributary to
it and this renders the travel over it eX-
ceedingly heavy. No one can really COM
prehend the amount Of business done on
this thorOughfare without going out on
DaytOn's bluff and watching it as it comes
in and goes out. 1t is about like WabaSha
street bridge, where an obstruction existing
for not more than half minute causes a
jam. The opening of this street is certain
to do great deal towards developing this
beautiful, varied and attractive portion of
the city of st. Paul.
