While Rocky Ford has passed that
stage In its history where record OF
now front gates and lean-to kitchens Is
OF interest to the general public. tho
growth that we arc making in tho way Of
eommodious and attractive residences
still has interest. or these there has
been some noteworthy additions TO tho
towns homes in the pas. few months In
various parts Of II. urban and suburban.
Among those Just completed and occupied
or else under way tho Enterprise has tho
following lis. Of residences that will
range In price somewhere between ST.
900 and $4,000 each:

A little farther east, on tho same hill.
D. o. Wiley has the foundation work in
for eommodious and substantial ranch
home.
Still farther east ether dwellings are
under way on Washington avenue and on
tho now streets Of tho recently opened
Barnes plat. And the readiness with
which tho lots in tho Conner plat Just op-
posito are selling Indicate that there are
others who contemplate new domieilss
before long.
Just at tho end Of Washington avenue
is new homo Of ]. 3. Hunt that has been
occupied fer some little time but the
pretty design ard good architectural
proportions Of which have probably not
yet been noted in print.
This does not by any means cover all
the building operations in and about the
town. It only indicates something Of the
larger contracts in the line Of building
activities.
The foundation work on the new
$4,000 high school is now under way;
and the interior finish on the $4,000
Presbyterian church is drawing that
large undertaking to close. Work has
been resumed on the walls Of the three
story Check block; and tho plss.erers
and plumbers are getting in their work
on the nearly completed Goblin and
Manning blocks.
In the building trades there is surely
nobody out of iod in Rocky Ford at the
present time.
