The fine residence being built by To. B. Pinney on East street is nearly completed and will be ready for occu' pancy next week. The house is a rectangular shape of spacious dimen. sions, three stories in height and con. tains fourteen rooms and three baths, with we'll equipped basement laun- dry. The underpinning is Brimfield schist, quarried on the lot, and the abundance of disseminated iron grains gives a rusty red coloring very at tr. .ctive for foundation stone. Cedar siding forms the first story, with shingles above, both stained brown with a white trim. Torches ten feet wide extend across the east front and the south side, and an outside chim- ney on the west takes care of the fire places. Copper gutters edge the en. tire roof, and the two sets of granite steps on the west side were those used at the Baker homestead before it's destruction by fire. A tiled vestibule, with two sets of double glass doors, gives entrance to the spacious hall, which extends nearly the width of the structure. This hall is finished in Circassian walnut, as is the den in the rear, and is connected with the living room and dining room by fold ing glass doors. The large living room has a three-side exposure, with French windows opening as double glass doors on to the southern porch. The finish is mahogany, and easement windows over the built-in book cases are on either side of the buff flashed
