some additional land on the Bradley
home place, east of Putney road.

) sub-divide it into building lots of rea-
, sonable size to be offered for sale at

: Of the property and his plans for its
development:
Al 1T was called to my attention that
you might be interested III the news
item of my purchase from the Bradley
estate of what is known as the Eaton
place, also the cottage on North street
and some land off the home place, which
would be what an extension of Tyler
n street on a circle to the Putney road
n would set off.

N the idea Of having the Eaton homestead
m for q summer home, although | probably
i will not occupy it this year, also witt
% the idea that possibly the balance OF
in the Eaton place, which | would no

r divided into building lots of a reason

this end of the village could develol

boro have changed the character of til
81 residences. | believe that there is
- demand for some such residents t
~ build new and modern houses in wha
oh surely must be considered the best sec

II 4 always have desired to have
summer place at my old home and hop
rd to make many visits there in the fl
ne ture. | have incorporated compan

is has been completed this spring, a &c
Isl tain number of the lots on the Eato

no number of real estate transfers an

tx- last winter, and it is my opinion thi
eft Brattleboro is to start on a real esta
to movement which will be greater tha
inn the opinion that there are great maI
OF people in the county and even outsi,
the of the state who are thinking of moviI
the to Brattleboro to make home, and
ues believe the offering of this property f
ard sale will bring many out-of-town pu
nv, chasers into the real estate market.
