GILBERT B. TAYLOR's residence on
lower Main street is undergoing radi-
cal change and renovation that will
make it virtually a new house. In the
first place the square pitched roof was
removed and new high pitched roof
put in its place having projecting "a"
in the middle with dOrmer window on
either side. The roof will extend over
the gables with the jack or cross piece
finish, and the north end will be finish
ed with a bay window for both the
hrst and second stories. A large porch
will span the front, and also extend
around the north end. In addition to
other internal changes will be two sets of
double doors, one leading from the sitting
! room and the other from the parlor into
the hall, by which the rooms can virtu-
ally be thrown into one. The finish will
doubtless be of the latest ornate de-
| signs. We understand it is the inten.
ton to introduce steam for heating
purposes in the fall. Mrs. TAYLOR has
during the past week exchanged her
Sohmer piano for Steinway Grand.
1t will be when finished one of the
most pleasant homes in this part of
the town. W. F. Weldon is doing the
