Though Barton Landing has had no
great boom during the past year, there has
been steady growth and improvement,
considering the hard times. The follow
ing will show something of what has been
done: s.. M. Perley has built a fine house,
28x40 it,, on Prospect st. at the head of
South Avenue. This house is of colonial
style, one and half stories high, finished
in hard wood, has six rooms on the ground
floor and all modern improvements. F.W.
w heller has very fine wo-story house,
modern style, fronting on South Avenue.
This house is finished in cherry, and is
very conveniently arranged. Mr.. Wheeler
did an excellent piece OF work in grading
and laying out his yard, having an Eng
lish gardener here quite a time for that
purpose. Both Of these houses have very
commanding position and are painted in
very pretty colors. These houses were
built by g. E. Gay, who, in addition to
these, has the past season built two dwell
ing houses and barn az Barton, and a
large and substantial farm house for Mr..
Bartlett on Virgins Hill in place of the
one burned few weeks ago. Six build
ings, five of them dwelling houses, in a
single season, is record of which Mr.. Gay
may justly be pleased. The building form
erly used as Office by Z. L. Chandler, was
moved back up the hill several rods, and
an addition 16x32 built to it, making
excellent dwelling house, which is occu-
pied by Mr.. Adams. Bert Scott did the
work on this. a. l.. Chandler has put up
a building 16x132 Just east Of his mill for
the purpose7of storing ldnfber. He is also
putting in machinery fof the Manufacture
of butter tubs, and will employ several
men in addition to the large number al
ready working there. Mr.. Chandler is
finishing his Office in woods Of very pretty
grain, ash, birch and spruce. Isaac Rash,
who bought the house above Chambers
mill, has erected commodious barn.
VIM. Blaisdell, who moved back here this
fall, has built an addition 30x32 it. to his
barn, and now has large and convenient
barn. He has also repaired the ell part of
his house AID put a cellar beneath it. Up.
Winget has greatly improved the house
which he bought OF Ed. Stafford, by put
ting in new bathroom, running hot and
cold water through the house, adding
piazza and doing an extensive job of grad
ing. Mr.. Winget has expended about 5000
on the place since purchasing. j g. Turn
bull has improved his house by raising it
and putting a cellar beneath, and a fine,
granite curbing about his yard. AT the

and has recently put in a steam heating !
