|D|SP0SES OF TWO
ADIRONDACK CAMPS
Thomas BIagden Sells to il.
Severance and J. R.
HarbeCk.

Thomas Blagden. for many years one
of the owners of the Argyle estate, on
10th street extended. and who did
much to bring about the present de-
velopment of that section of the cap
ital, has recently disposed success
fully of some of his large real estate
holdings in the Adirondacks. Two
famous camps comprising the Blag-
den tract at Saranac Inn. have been
sold to John l.. Severance of Cleve-
| land, Ohio. and J. r. Harbeck of New
York. The property was valued at
| 100000 and the purchase price is sa i'd
| to have been approximately this
amount.
One of the camps, Deerwood. con-
sisting of sixty acres. on which is a
! deer park and series of widely
| known springs. was purchased by Mr.
Severance. Mr.. Blagden spent many
/ years developing Deerwood into a
| model camp. All of the deer are de-
scendants of two fawns which
strayed into the rough camp of Mr.
| Blagden as it was a quarter of CEN
! tury ago. The fawns were taken to
the Blagden estate here, where they
were raised. A large country house
patterned after the English style
| with twenty-five rooms and six baths
is on the Deerwood tract. and also a
| quarters.
Buys Camp O. the Winds.
The other camp sold is Camp o the
Winds. purchased by Mr.. Harbeck. It
adjoins Deerwood and is improved
by many buildings, including lodges,
lighthouses and other structures.
Mr. Blagden has two cottages at
Saranac Inn which he Will continue
to occupy.
The part that Mr.. Blagden PLAYED in
the development of the section now
known as 18th street extended in this
city is not generally known. When IT
was proposed to extend 18th street
Congress fatty, refused unless the
greater part of the land necessary
was donated. AS this required the
donation of strip 100 feet wide for
more than five miles, it seemed a
hopeless undertaking. But Mr.. Blag-
den and his family gave one mile for
in securing most of the other neces-
sary donations.
After the donations had been made
to satisfy the requirements of Con-
gress. it was found that nearly every
parcel of land donated was incum-
bered with a deed of trust. requiring
Mr.. Blagden to go over the work
again and persuade the trustees rep
resenting each parcel to release the
land. Also to bring about the exten-
sion of 18th street in straight un-
broken line made it necessary
to straighten it through Mount
Pleasant, which required condemna-
ton proceedings and cost S1.000,000.
There was oposition at the time by
the Engineer Commissioner. but in
the end the plan prevailed through
the efforts of those who desired the
extension and delevopment of 10th
street along the lines originally plan
ned.
Donated Another Strip.

of Mr.. Blagden. The land necessary
for this roadway lay along what was
known years ago as Locks Branch

opening this avenue. But the Com
missioners put the Chain gang to
work opening a rough road over this
