ming his way as an architect in Burling
ton, for he was selected to work out plans
for three residences on the McSweeney q
Mcmahon property at the corner of Col
lege and South Willard streets, which
will be much improved by these build
ings. "The plans" says the Free Press,
"show q most pleasing exterior arrange
ment for the locality, combining rock
faced stone, brick and wood construc-
tion. The interiors are arranged with
the utmost economy of space and COM
plete accessibility. The residence 'front.'
ing on College street had a spacious en-
trance porch of colonial design, from
which is the main entrance through an
ample vestibuie into q large hall opening
into all the main first floor rooms. A
pleasing feature of each residence is q
first and second story porch, from which
fine views of the lake and city may be OBJ
tanned. The South Willard street prop
critics are commodious and very conven-
iently arranged eight-room- residences,
the first floors being finished throughout
in hardwood and the second floors in
gloss white"
