who occupying the former Capt. Havener
house in East Northport, are building house
on the former Capt Cunningham farm. This

The Wing cottages on the point this side of
Saturday Cove occupy one of the most desir-
able locations on the coast of Maine, and in Sc
lecting the sites for the two handsome cottages,
and laying out the grounds, excellent taste has
been shown. The grounds front the cove
and extend some distance up the shore of the
bay, the water front including fine sand
beach. The grounds are enclosed by wire
fence, and dense growth of evergreen along
the highway gives complete seclusion. The
entrance, between two stone pillars, is at such
a sharp angle to the highway that, with the
evergreen growth on its lower side, the care
takers cottage and garage connected are hid
den from view and the cottages are not visible.
On entering you see, beyond broad expanse of
lawn the cottages and outbuildings, flower
gardens and tennis court. The Islesboro cab
of the N. E. Tel. & Tel. Co., which was for
merly landed on this point, is now landed above
on strip of land bought by the company.

are doing. Two large buildings are nearing
completion and other improvements are in

| turned up missing, and we shall have to rely
on memory. The larger of the two buildings
is just below the site of the Ocean house and is
for garage and stable, with sleeping rooms
for the help in the second story. The building
is 10 foot posted. In the basement will be
plant for furnishing hot water to all the build
ings. Opposite this building is one containing
a kitchen, dining room and laundry These

tious of pleasing architecture and the in
teriors will be attractively finished. In the
rear of the second building is small building
in which two acetylne gas machines will be
installed to light all the buildings The cottage,
