MIR. Young is now charging his dwell |
ing, and during the course of this work
the carpenters have disconnected and |
moved several feet away portion of the
back building. About nine clock, while |

1t was designed by Par
more, who designed among other struc-
lures the Bevidere Hotel, will be COM
peted in about six months, and will cost
in the neighborhood of $4,000. The
handsome old colonial residence which
the new building will replace has already
been torn down. The latter was con-
structed about 174O by one of the ances-
tors of the late Judge Giles, and until
recently has been in the possession of
Mr.. Henry Amoss Osborn. One of its
distinguishing features was a winding
staircase of walnut which has been pre-
served and will be incorporated into the
new structure. This promises to be one
of the handsomest properties in Hartford.
