 ReSIdent's Enquiry.
 All about New Haven evidences of the city's growth are manifest. The city is slowly spreading out in all directions. While many houses are being erected and Yale is erecting another beautiful, notable and costly building, the new library, this will not be 8 notable year, the builders say, for the erection of conspicuous and expensive buildings. The new town. farm building, the work of erecting which will begin soon, will be one building of note to be added this year in the town. One manufacturing firm
 talk of building large addition to their factory, but prefer to have nothing said at
 present as a certain circumstance may alter
 their intentions.
 Judge William c. Robinson, of Yale Law
 school, will begin the erection of @ new and
 handsome dwelling for his own residence on
 Hillhouse avenue. The location is between
 the new society building and St. Mary,s R.
 c. church. It will be of pressed brick with
 stone trimmings, with about eighteen rooms,
 and will have three story bay window in
 front, and will in general appearance closely
 resemble many of the new style of residences
 so much in vogue in New York city. It will
 handsomely improve the lower portion of
 this beautiful avenue.
 The two lots on West Chapel street bought
 by E. Henry Barnes and Hartford lady re-
 spectively of Mr.zF.. B. Mallory are just west
 of the Mallory residence. Mr. Barnes ad-
 joins the house he occupies. The house
 which the Hartford lady will build on her lot
 at a cost of $12, ,000 is for MT. Ulrich, her
 son-in-law. The house will be built this
 year. A Chicago architect drew the plans.
 Gallagher & Reilly recently bought of the
 Lef6ngwell estate the lot at the corner of
 Bradley and William with frontage of 50
 feet on Bradley for $5,0O0 and will begin at
 houses. Each building will be of brick
 with Ohio stone trimmings, fl by 50
 feet, and of three stories, and the cost of
 construction will be about $8,000. The fire marshal yesterday morning issued permit to Gallagher & Reilly to erect a brick dwelling on William street near Osborn
 street 40 by 46 feet. The foundation wall is to be IS inches thick and outside walls 12 and inches. The block will be three stories and will accommodate four families. The house will have trimmings of Ohio stone, all modern improvements, and will be frst-class in every respect.
 MT. Burkard has just erected large and we'll built frame dwelling on Lawrence street between Nicoll and Nash streets, the first built on Lawrence street between those two streets.
 Ten new, pleasant and attractive looking frame dwellings adorn Avon street between Orange and Foster streets nearly all of which have been erected within year. Three were erected by German citizens, Meesrss Hauser, Holman and Gausch respectively. Detective Brewer is erecting a neat frame dwelling on Cottage street near his residence between Orange and Foster streets. Conrad Rausch, the meat marketman, has begun the building of 8 dwelling on Foster street, corner of Avon street. It will have Q store in it. Avon street has just been inn proved by the laying of concrete walks on both sides of the street between Foster and Orange streets.
 The Whitney land bordering on Lawrence erected respectively by Prof. Niemeyer and
 Miss Rose Porter is receiving levelling where it is hilly and uneven. A half dozen teams have been busy there lately at the grading. The surplus earth was carted away to low ground couple of hundred feet dis
 tant bordering on the new extension of Liv ingston street. The improvement is giving Q good grade to the Lawrence street lots Livingston street now extends from Ed wards street to Gamer street, entering Can
 ner just opposite the new toboggan slide. It strikes Edwards street just next to the resi-
 dence of Prof. w. c. Robinson and will be,
 it is said, eventually continued
 through to Lincoln street, which it
 will meet in 8 nearly straight line.
 Gamer street, between Orange street and
 Whitney avenue, which from time imme-
 morial was unoccupied by any dwelling,
 save, perchance. the hut of red man, now
 boasts a neat, pretty and substantial cottage,
 erected last season by MT. Danks, while
 near by, fronting Whitney avenue, Mir. filling
 has begun erecting what will be residence
 of considerable cost. The foundations are
 quite solid and massive. The house will be
 another attractive improvement on the beau
 tiful avenue, and it is stated by residents of
 the locality that three more handsome houses are to be built near Mir. Alliug's this year. MT. W. E. Downes has a large barn in process of erection on his land north of his residence on the Lawrence street side. It will be we'll built and equipped in all re- fspects. Many New Haven friends of Mr. Downes, who have viewed the interior fitting and woodwork establishment of his new
 residence, are enthusiastic in praise of it's appearance and elegance.
 MT. Frank Doerschuck has erected an ad- dition to his saloon, billiard room and bowl.
 ing alley premises on State street, foot of
 Edwards, and it will be rented for barber shop. One of the neighboring houses is re-
 ceiving @ similar addition, and is to be oc- cupied by plumber for his business. MT. w. H. Fl. Hewitt has three new frame dwellings, costing about @, 500 each, to build on Cedar Hill avenue near State street.
 The houses are shut in and being finished internally.
 The work of erecting the addition to the Dwight Place church is we'll started and when done will be fine improvement of the church edifce. Mir. A. Krah, a well-known machinist working at Pdeghar's on Grown street foot of Orange, has erected in the last week or two Q three story brick house on State street nearly opposite the residence of President Warren of the State street horse railroad. It is built upon land that was never before built upon as far as known.
 The work of preparing to erect the fine new brick building on the corner of Chapel and High street is begun. The old wooden bulld- ing next to the Hurlburt store Is being made demolished. An old citizen desires to make the enquiry, can anybody tell how old the old building is on the corner of Chapel and High streets where the Hurlburt store is; or how old the old building is adjoiningi Several of our most prominent and influential old citizens who have been enquired of on the subject say they cannot tell-thaS the old buildings date back long before their day.
