 ,' The impression seems to have gained ground among people in town, who have never visited the Boulevard that it is under 4the bill. and therefore not q desirable place for building a house. Let such $ one take stroll down that way some fine morning and wilh an, un- prejadiced mind take in full view of the e landscape spread out before him and have his doubts removed. Looking to- ward the east the meadows gradually slant away. rich in their wealth of way ing grass, while just below is the Foun7 dry pond, and dwellings among the trees to add to the picture. Looking farther away, Walnut Tree hill and the, hills of old Shiloh loom up and the view of these hills from any point of view is interest," ing, But this sketch was not intended for,the views from the Boulevard, but a description of. the new, house which Frank Wright is erecting on one of its Prettiest sites.
