Money is made in real estate by
selling, not by holding. My advice is
to sell when the boom arrives.
Experience in the Bronx and Queens
shows that rapid transit was not an un-
alloycd blessing to the original owner,
unless he sold at the inception. Transit
brings people, people want sewers, side
walks, paved streets. curbing and gut
ters. These improvements cost $500 for
each 25-foot lot on an average, and
when the assessment Is unpaid interest
at the rate of per cent. is added to
the cost. Assessed valuations immedi-
ately increase and taxes are doubled
and trebled. Every year each owner
must add 500 to each $1,000 lot, above
special assessments. So / repeat, the
profit in real estate is in selling"

Much of historical interest clings
about the old Burr homestead. 1t was
in the line of the British advance on
Danbury when most of the houses in
this vicinity were pillaged or destroyed.
Curiously enough the Burr house was
one of the few that were saved, doubt
less, as it has been said, because 1t was
temporarily occupied by Tories. The
old meeting house near by was burned
and for a time the church members met
there for service.
During the latter part of 1900 1t was
occupied by John Burr's grandson, Zal-
mon Burr, whose second wife was Mary

I Historic Enoch Burr House at, Green
Farms, Conn, Built Before Revolu-
ton, Is Now Rejuvenated Country
Residence of Mrs. Donald Mackay
WAS One of Few Structures in
Neighborhood That Survived
British Advance on Danbury
By HARRIET sIssoN GILLESPIE.

The historical old Burr homestead at
Green's Farms, town of Westport. Conn.,,
has recently been salvaged and delight
fully remodeled by Frank II. Bissell,
New York architect, and 1t is 'o-dav
owned and occupied by Mrs. Donald
Mackay of New York.
Built in early Colonial days by John
Burr, of whose family Aaron Burr is
believed to have been a member. the
structure is probably one of the best
preserved of the few pre-Revolutionary
houses remaining in this vicinity. And
while it has been materially changed in
appearance, the alterations have been
made without sacrificing it's ,quaintness
or charm.
In it's original state the house was
q gray shingled. two-story dwelling Of
the then popular salt box type, hav-
ing a sloping roof that fell away at the
back to within three feet of the ground.
Just so, as an early record states, that
flour barrel could be pushed under
the edge.
When first built 1t occupied site
opposite where it stands to-day on what
is known as the Long Lots road. The
latter was so called because the land
between 1t and the Sound was divided
UP into strips some of which we're fully
two miles in length, the northerly boun-
daries lying along the highway. This
land was granted by the Crown to the
early settlers and to-day after nearly
two centuries the name still persists.
When Mr.. Bissell was called In to
mako the alterations the Enoch Burr
house. as it has more Familiarity been
known in recent years. presented much
the same appearance it did when first
built. The principal change noted was
IN the absence of the great central
chimney around which the house was
built When the house was moved to
it's present site the chimney was torn
out and the native stone of which 1t
was built made up, it Is said, something
like 100 loads.
And while this worked hardship in
one way, depriving the house of its
quaintest aspect, in another 1t proved
a desirable change. 1t provided what
the owner most desired. central hall
running through the house from front
to rear. Mr.. Bissell then supplied this
lack by building two sturdy chimneys.
one on either side the center.
AS the old relic stood the living rooms
all faced the street. But since the
owners wished to obtain full enjoyment
of their flowers and garden the plan
was reversed The roof was raised to
admit of wide dormer with three win
dows, the extension forming the roof Of
