As activity in real estate transac
tions increases, along with the great
confidence of the people in the great
future of Roanoke, and no portion
of the city eXcites more interest and
attention than the Hyde Park Adj
dition, situated in the northwestern
suburbs.
Being elevated aud rolling, the lots
of this company, though recently put
on the market. command a ready and
increasing sale, and insure comfort
able and healthy homes to q large
number of people, as well as satisfac,
tory profits to investors.
This property has recently been
laid off into avenues and streets, and
being susceptible of thorough drain
age, every purchaser, who buys,
with the intention of building a home
is certain to have one of unsurpassed
healthfulness and nnfailing attrac-
tions.
Surrounded on all sides by the Blue
Ridge and Allegheny mountains, and
commanding splendid view of the
city and adjoining country, the resi-
dents of HydePark will enjoy a beauty
of scenery unequalled by any locality
in this section.
The Norfolk and Western Railroad
runs parallel for nearly half mile
east and west with this addition, and
besides having just completed round
house in the West End yards adjoin-
ing this property, the Norfolk and
Western Railroad Company proposes
in the near future to locate Il station
in this vicinity which will be of great
convenience to residents of Hyde
Park. In addition TO thorough drain
age and the elevation which insures
healthfulness, the people located there
will be provided with all needed facil-
tiles and by means of the Roanoke
Street Railway,a section of which will
pass through the property, will be
able to travel TO and from the city at
such hours as will be convenient for
business or pleasure. The company
has already erected three handsome
dwellings in Hyde Park, and others
w
by the corporation and by private
owners of lots. An engineer is now
engaged in making the surveys neces-
sory for increasing the width of Lou
don-street TO 20 feet, and all the other
thcroughfarcs will be graded and i'm
proved.
Every one who has visited this addi
ton is struck with the beauty OF the
-ituo-;o.. e-'.G az the many '!sit0'S ~
the city, hut few raIl to invest IN
lots. Among those from abroad who
have recently purchased lots there
is Major Absalom hoiner. of Augusta
county. He has just bought thirty
two of these lots. upon some OF which
ne intends to erect handsome resi-
dences and commodious store build
ings. and in this respect he is only one
of the many who have at once appre-
ciated the superior location OF this
property and are preparing to reap
the advantage Of early pur-
chase and speedy Improvement:
While most of the land is elevated and
rolling, and was last year in full cult
walton, a part OF it is covered with u
beautiful forest, which can be easily
made available fer shade or orna-
ment TO homes of refinement.
Indeed, every taste and inclination
in the matter of Il boilding location
can be gratilied by selections from the
lands of the Hyde Park Company,and
such has been the growing popularity
of the addition that Messrs. Francis
B. Kemp & Co., agents, have been be-
siered with inquiries. both at home
and from abroad. Letters are re-
ceived daily inquiring about the
Roanoke real estate, and among
these communications are many
asking about this property. The
writers have learned either by a
visit themselves or from others that
the march of resident building is
largely westward in Roanoke, and the
HYDE Park property being fully in
this line where its many advantages
are considered is certain to command
the largest and most extensive sales.
1t is few hundred yards from the
proposed West End furnace and
another important industry will soon
be located near this property. AS the
EMPLOYEES of these will number
several hundred, most of whom
will be heads of families, they
will naturally, in looking for
homes, select locations where they
and their families will be most likely
to have health and happiness, and as
the Hyde Park property is most likely
to guarantee these they will be GER
tain to purchase lots in that addi-
ton.
The Roanoke and Southern Rail
road will in a few years connect this
city with the leading cities of the
South, and before the rush of people
becomes greater the present is a good
time to visit Hyde Park and select a
location which will be sold on easy
terms and reasonable rates. Messrs
F. j. Kemp s. Co., are sole agents.
