An attractive home section in the
town of Greenwich is known as East
Port Chester, another promontory eX-
tending into the waters of Long ISL

suburban colony of high class. At
that point are the homes of many
well known persons.
Among the inviting residential sec
tions Of the Borough of Greenwich are
Putnam av., Naples av., North st. and
Patterson and Reed avs. In the north
westerly part of the borough is Edge
wood Park. This is one Of the choicest
residential parts of the town. II was
established by the late Nathaniel
Witherill, who did much notable work
for the transition Of the old town OF
Greenwich into place which would
attract many well known persons. He
built the Edgewood Inn, which occu-
pies a large and fine site IN the park
and which is to-day one of the leading
country hostleries. There are also
several other splendidly managed and
modern hostleries in the town. One is
the Kent House, at Belle Haven, and
another is the Naples, in the Borough
Of Greenwich.
The town of Greenwich is soon to
have Y. NJ. c. A. building. 1t will be
at the corner of Putnam av. and Mason
ST., and the money TO erect il has been
given by Mrs. Witherill, widow of the
founder of Edgewood Park Accord
ing to report, the building and ground
will cost several hundred thousand
dollars.
Plots in the business section of
Greenwich av. vary in size. Most of
the plots near the central part of the
avenue. have frontage Of 20 feet.
Sites in the choicest section of this
thoroughfare may be bought from $500
a front foot up. Residential sites in
the Borough of Greenwich range in
price from $50 front foot to about
$3.50 a front foot.
There are some houses in the bor-
ough for sale for about $4,000. Those
houses are of nine rooms and occupy
a plot of about 80 feet front and 135
feet deep. Most properties are Of
much higher value. many ranging in
price from $4,000 to $4,000 each.
Greenwich is yearly becoming more
attractive suburban town in the sum-
mer. Owners of modern houses ex-
perience no difficulty in getting large
rentals for their premises in the sum-
mer months. The early rentals for
houses unfurnished are from $50 to
$500 a month. About $4,000 is paid
each summer season for modern
houses of about IA rooms, with garage
in the rear.
There is a great demand for acreage
properties in the hill districts north
of the Borough of Greenwich, and in
those sections are some Of the largest
and costliest country estates in the
suburban territory of New York. In
the Stanwich district and about eight
miles from the borough f. c. Con-
verse has his / 900 acre farm. In the
Round Hill section is the vast country
estate Of Charles A. Moore. Acreage
in the Stanwich district brings about

at about $500.
