Delaney STREET TO
KEEP ITS OLD NAME
Only Green to Be knoun as
Schff Parkway.

When New Yorkers read at the break
fast table recently that tho Board of Al
dermen had changed the nane Of Delan-
cey street 10 Schin Highway. many
complained against what they said was
an all too frequent tendency to cast
aside the tradition and nomenclature of
old New York. The dropping OF tho
sterling old name OF Deianoey was re-
garded as being as radical as changing
the name OF Blacleweils Island to We'll
fare Island-and even worse.
Just as the persons who srieved most
over this tendency to cast aside every
thing pertaining TO old New York had
become resigned. It was announced that
what the Board OF Aldermen really did.
after ample reflection, was TO apply the
name OF Schiff Parkway 10 that part Of
Delaney street which is parked with
green In the centre from the Bowery TO
Williamsburg Bridge. The name OF De-
iancey street remains thus far un-
changed.

Nv HARRIET s1ssoN GILLESPIE.

By HARRIET SISSON GILLESPIE.
A progressive realty investment OF
more than ordinary interest is that en-
bodied In a series of dwellings ranging
In price from $4,000 to 100000, which
w. D. Hunter, architect and builder,
has erected in the picturesque section
of New Rochelle known as Rochelle
Heights. The plan not only involves a
series of unique business transactions,
but also includes certain architectural
and structural features that are uncom-
mon. It proves, among other thlrNs,
that artistic, we'll built houses. even
though the cost runs we'll up into SIX
figures, are still in demand. Finally, IT
Is the story of a man who tried TO pulio
himself a home, but whose clients
wouldn't let him. 1t is perhaps thls
phase of the tale that is so numaniy
interesting.
MIR. Hunter has been in business in
this city for many years, his most re-
cent affiliation being with the firm or
Stoughton & Hunter, which was dis
solved when his partner won the Prlx
de Rome and went abroad to study
Five years ago Mr.. Hunter decided to
shake the dust of the city from his feet,
at least in so far aE residence was con-
cerned. and build for himself an ideal
retreat in the suburbs. He bought a
picturesque strip of land on a rocky
ridge at Rochelle Heights overlooking
Long Island Sound and surrounded
with magnificent forest trees. and on IL
erected a charming stone and stucco
dwelling at cost of $4,000. He had
occupied it for the greater part OF a
year when along came man who maoe
him an offer of 100000 for it. and he
let It go.
Then he built himself second home
in the vicinity. putting into it the same
deep thought and anxious care. Scarcely
was II finished and occupied by the own
er and his family than another home
seeker appeared on the scene, and moth
ing would do but he must have 1t.
At this point the architect set to work
to build not one, but row or six
smaller houses at cost of from 100000
TO $22,500, one of which he is occupying
at present. This is, however. only a
temporary residence. for adjoining his
first home he has about completed an
The New York herald., 1921-06-12

other and a very artistic dwelling,
which when finished will cost in the
neighborhood of 100000. But this. the
owner stoutly declares. is not Tor sale
a statement in which his wife enthusi-
astically concurs.
The history of Mr.. Hunters progress
sive investment began shortly after the
beginning of the war and he expended
considerable thought in planning his
prospective home, charming English
style house OF stone, brick and stucco,
which he built on the rocky ledge over
looking the water. 1t wasn't easily
done for several reasons. One was that
the foundation had to be blasted out or
solid rock and labor conditions sadly
interfered with his plans. He. however,
with characteristic Scotch perseverance
completed the house at cost Tar in
excess of his original figures. He ex-
pected to build it for $4,000. 1t cost
him 100000.
With the stone blasted from the foun-
dation Mr.. Hunter built the superstruc'
ture. The first floor and wings were
composed of stone. the rest OF concrete
over hollow tile with succeed surfaces
Not content with the building material
at hand. he proceeded to buy up an
eighty-year-od English manor house fast
falling to disuse in another part of town.
He demolished it, salvaging the trim'
windows and doors, and installing them
in his new house. The quaint diamond
named windows with the frames cut from
solid timber and the sturdy doors found
a congenial setting where they harmon
lied charmingly with their surroundings
By curious freak of nature the stone
taken from the foundation presented a
most unusual appearance. 1t showed a
variety of formation and coloring rang
ing from a resemblance to pink granite
shot through with streaks of jet to por-
tions having the appearance of green
and white marble. This material. In
company with some seventeen varieties
OF brick. with color introduced in the
stucco walls. composed harmony OF
tone as rich in effect as tits unusual In
appearance.
Incidentally, the mason work Is. ac-
cording to the builder, the finest In West
chester county. 1t is laid UP in the style
known as Roman mosaic, and the builder
