BUILDING ACTIVITY IN EASTERN CONNECTICUT
STAFFORD.
Laruest Job Was Addition on High,
sehooi-carpenters Have Had Busy

The year 1913 in the town of Star 4
ford, has not been very busy one as
far as the erection of new buildings
is concerned. There has, however
been some progress along this line,
and when the entire outlay for new
buildings and additions is inquired up
it will amount to quite sum. Locat
carpenters have not been Idle by any
means, and they figure that they nave
had a very successful year. There
is at present a dearth of tenements
in the borough of Stafford Springs.
The most expensive building opera
ton of the year has been the large
three-story, four-room addition to the
high school, which will be occupied at
the beginning of next term. The cost
was $4,000 including excavation
under part of the old building so that
there would be more available space
for play room. c. B. Gary & Son
have put up a two-story modern brlck
building on Main street, and in cost
it will come next to the high school
addition and will be between $buOo
and $1,000.
Richard Valentine has built bung-
allow on Grove street, and new
Office building is now nearing COM
pletion at the Rhode Island mill.
The Fabyan wooden company has
erected a new one-story brick dye
house at its Staffordville plant and a
stable addition has been added to the
Phoenix mill in Hydeville.
Mrs Mary Bates and her sister,
Miss Davis of West Haven, have built
a wo-story frame house on the hill
side south of the Broadway station in
West Stafford G. NJ. Shepard, who
recently bought the Edmund P. KEEL
loSg place on West Stafford HILL has
kept q force of carpenters busy this
fall on additions to and improvements
about the house.
Work has already begun on a new
house in West Stafford by Mrs. j.
Chapman of Ashford and another
house soon to be added to the increas-
ing number in the west part of the
town is that of Mrs. Paul Tohl on the
Chestnut hill road. Selden Smith of
the West Parish has improved his
place by a large addition. There has
been more than ordinary activity in
building in the west part of the town
during the past year. Benjamin
Campo is the owner of a new house
in Fox village and Antoni Tonolli has
a two-story frame house almost com
pleted on the hill on Wellington ave-
