THE SEASONS BUILDING.
Only small amount Of building hat
been done for the season; but a. has
been the case each year for q considera
BILE time, sufficient has been done to In
crease the housing accommodations OF
the village by few families. With this
done every year, the growth Of the vii
lsge 10 1low but steady, and 1t might
perhaps surprise one to 90 back few
years and note the increase.
The only business building started Ia
the one under construction by Silss r
Maxim, on Pine Street near Pythisu
Block. This 10 planned for . garage 10
tho basement, to be occupied BY n. w
Maxim; two stores OF good size on the
street floor; and two tenements above.
The building 10 Of wood, with steel front
and ends. It. IL closed In. but not ye'
completed 20 that any part Of It 10 ready
for occupancy. While It really has moth
ing to do with this review, It 10 interest
ing to note that Mr.. Maxim, though 81
years Of age, has planned this building,
superintended the construction, and
himself done carpenter work on al parts
Of 1t, from the ground up.
In the erection OF houses the largest
enterprise has bsen that Of r. A. Held.
ner. Mr.. Heidner, who had . year or
two since purchased the Durell house
on High Street opposite Moore Park, has
put up on Its site bungalow for his
own occupancy. This is closed 10, bat
the inside work has been left to be done
another season. It Is planned to be a
good house when completed.
The old house was moved to the other
end Of the lot on Myrtle Street, whore II
underwent repairs, and Is now occupied.
Two new cottage houses have also been
built by Mr.. Heidner on Myrtle StresA
one OF which Mr.. and Mrs. Heidner are
occupying temporarily, while the other
Is rented; and the stable of the Durell
house will later be converted into anotll-
or cottage house to rent.
Maurice L. Noyes has built six-roOm
house on one of the lots purchased of FL.
N. Porter, on the west side Of high
Street, near the upper end of the village.
Just outside the village limits, on the
east side OF High Street, j. A. Noyes has
built comfortable house which he NOV.
cd into during the summer. TheIe Is a
stable connected with each Of these
houses.
On Penley Street Josiah N. Horr has
built bungalow for himself, which he
and his family have occupied for some
months.
W. B. Russell has added another cot
tage house to the number which he al
ready had, of Western Avenue, near
Gothic Street.
On Pleasant Street near Hicks Cross
ing, P. NJ. Walker has erected good
modern eight-room house, OF cement
blocks, which he and Mrs. Walker have
now been occupying for some weeks.
W. G. Pratt has advanced the work on
bis rew house on Hill Street, which was
closed 10 last season, and he and bis
family are occupying the house.
The house on the Hebron road, just
outside the village, built by d. II.
Maxim, has been completed, and sold TO
George B. Bennett, who hss moved In
with bis family.
In minor matters It may be noted that
Harry D. Cole, who purchased tbs house
of Willis Ames on High Street, has built
q stable there; that the Mrs. Sarah Pen
ley house on High Street, purchased by
Mrs. r. A. Whittemore, has been i'm
proved by the addition OF veranda on
three sides; and that the house Of j. r.
Plummer on Pine Street has been i'm
proved by the addition Of an enclosed
veranda at the rear, and other changes.
Industrially, the only change of special
note Is the addition to the greenhouse Of
E. P. Crockett on Porter Street, more
than doubling its size and capacity.
No public buildings have been erected,
the only change of note In that line be-
Ing the addition of $1,000 pipe organ at
the Universalist church on Pine Street.
Minor repairs have been numerous,
and the general thrifty appearance OF
the place has been we'll maintained.
No building has been destroyed or
seriously damaged BY fire during the
year.
