AN OLD HOUSE ELEGANTLY REMoDELLED.
Capt Ernest o. Patterson is to be congrat-
| ulated on the elegance and convenience of
his home at the corner of Church an Pearl
streets in this city, especially as the work in
all its details is of his own designing. The
house is seventy-five years old, and was
bought by his father, the late Capt. Robert
Otis Patterson, forty-three years ago. Re-
| Gently Capt. E. o. Patterson undertook to
remodel the house and put it not only in
| first class repair but fully up TO date in all
the modern requirements. The old windows
have all been replaced by new ones of the
latest styles. The front door is of solid
quartered oak, made from drawing by
Capt. Patterson. The doors formerly in use
between the parlors are replaced by an elab-
crate grille. The large, old-fashioned chin
| ney between the dining room and kitchen
has been replaced by one of more modern
SIZE and handsome mantel and fireplace
put in the dining room. The bath room is
finished in white and gold, piped for hot and
cold water, and the walls are soon to be
decorated by Mr.. P. A. Sanborn. The wa
ter pipes and all plumbing work throughout
the house are of brass and copper, no iron
being used. The house is heated by a fur
mace and all the registers are nickel plated
Most Of the floors throughout the house are
of qnartered oak, and everything is finished
in the best possible manner. The dining
room furniture, consisting of sideboard,
table and chairs, is of East India mahogany,
made to order for Capt. Patterson from de-
signs of his own. The pieces are of elegant
design, and in keeping with the finish of the
room. While everything is elegant and of
the best material, convenience and comfort
have not been overlooked, and the house is
admirably arranged in all respects. Capt.
and Mrs. Patterson hope to spend a consid-
erable portion of their time in Belfast, and
have mod ernized their home with that end
