 The remarkable activity in building opera tions in Fair Haven is spreading into the Annex, or east side of Quinnipiac river. A few years ago there was quite boom in building in the vicinity of the east end of the Qninnipiac drawbridgs, and many houses were built. Last year houses sprang up in all directions In the lower quarter on and near the road from Fair Haven to East Haven near where 1t intersects at Four Corners with the main road from Tomlinson bridge. Now also considerable building is going on on South Qainnipiac street. Mr. Mansfield, son of Mir. Mansfield, and of F. Mansfield & Sons, oyster merchants on South Quinnipiso street, is erecting handsome frame house on the latter street, corner of Brown street. It Is partly Gothic in style. with a variety of handsome gables, and set of with bay win dows, an oriel window and other attractions, and will be . fine addition to the street. This, with the handsome residence of Hobart B. Ives, of H. B. Ives & O., hardware man. ufacturers in Atwater block, this oity, and of Romanta Wells, of Wells & Calhoun, the wholesale druggists, State street, this city, are notable Improvements on this fine thor oughfare. Another of MT. Aansfeld's sons has bought the house and spacious lot on South Quinnipiac street occupied by Luding- ton a Woodward, the printers, and takes possession in the spring, when he will pro- ceed to erect handsome residence on the site. The site overlooks the street and the house will have eom- manding position, similar to the Wells and Ives residences up the hill further. s- F. w. J. Sizer, corner of Center and Brown streets, is handsomely grading the grounds about his slightly and attractive residence. The desirability of the sites in this beautiful suburb of the city are growing more and more in demand as the city grows in wealth and population and the rapid transit afforded by the Fair Haven and Westville horse cars between the Annex and all parts of the city makes residences in the suburb more and more desirable. Ground has just been broken for a new house on Hazel street near Winchester ave nue to be erected by Francis McKiernan It will contain eight rooms.
 One mile of new concrete walk has recent ly been completed on the west side of Whit. ney avenue from Sschem street to the city line.
 A new house containing eleven rooms is nearly completed at 195 Newhall street. It is owned by Thresher and built by Pratt of Hazel street.
 St.Paul's new parochial and Sunday school addition is g great improvements to it's section of the city. It looks solid, handsome and in- vitipg to all. The roof has been erected and tho structure joins upon the old church
 building as finely as though both parts were
 built together, and the general architectural effect is an artistic success.
 The five new houses which are being erect. ed by the Russell Brothers. the butter dealers of State street, on Lombard street, near the new Cedar Hill depot, will contain ten rooma | each and will be supplied with hos and cold water and other modern Improvements. The fine new house of Superintendent Samuel T. Dutton of the public schools is nearly completed. It is on Bishop street. It contains twelve rooms with every modern convenience.
