Towering Flats to BE Erected In
LOndOa's Ancient Resort.
Possibly no spot equally close to
London has maintained its old-world
exclusiveness to such an extent as
Richmond, but there are signs that it..
in its turn. is giving way to the march
of modernity. A group of American
capitalists is having prepared plans
for the erection of a towering pile Of
flats in one single ediflce. on the sum-
NIT of the hill, the Boston Transcript
says
The site selected, which has been in
the market for some years. is that Of
Ancaster House, Georgian mansion
of considerable interest and an old
time hunting box of the duke OF An
caster, situated opposite the Star and
Garter hotel and adjoining the park
gates. The crown, on enfranchising
the estate from copyhold, stipulated
that buildings over a certain height
should be set back fifty feet from the
park. but outside that distance there
is no height limit. and the proposed
structure, nearly 400 feet in length of
the park frontage. would enjoy I'M
paralleled views both over that do
main and the world-famed Richmond
hill scenery.
The general idea is that the archi-
lecture shall approximate to and fol-
