 One of the largest real estate deals ever consummated in this city was transacted within the last month. it was learned this morning when a warrantee deed was filed in the office of the city clerk record ing the sale of the property of Mrs. Nettie E. Rockwell. former Bristol resident of Bristol and widow of the late A. F. Rockwell. millionaire manufacturer and the donor of Rockwell Park. The Brightwood estate of 30 acres, l on which is located one of the larg- est and most palatial mansions in the city is included in the sale. On the estate is a large private park with & lagoon and several elaborate stone bridges. The estate adjoins Rockwell Park, one of the most complete municipalities in the coun- try and which was donated to the city of Bristol by A. F. Rockwell in 1920.
 The deed records the sale of sev- eral other pieces of land formerly owned by Mrs. Rockwell. Three sections on West street. each bear- ing house, have been sold, with another section on Myrtle street on which house has also been erected. ! A one-quarter interest in the holdings has been sold to H. NJ. Guernsey. of West Hartford. one. quarter interest to Fred J. Caston- quay, of West Hartford. one-quarter interest to Lewis c. Dimock, of Manchester, and one-quarter inter- est to William c. Skinner. Robert K. Skinner. and Winthrop A. Haviland, all of Hartford.
 The purchase price was not di- vulged but is believed to be in the neighborhood Of $1o5.ooo.
 While this sale is thought to have concluded all of Mrs. Rockwell's property in Bristol, it is not ex- pected that she will sever connection with all of her interests in this city. It is thought that she will resume her activities in the supervision of the playground at Rockwell Park at the beginning of next summer. Mrs. Rockwell has taken an active in- terest in the playground since it's installation by her late husband and has given freely to it's maintenance within the last several years Her last gift is large stone shelter house which is situated at the en- trance to the playground.
 It is understood that the estate is to be subdivided into residential sites by it's new owners, who lately applied to the Bristol city council to have Rrightwood road, which runs through the estate from West street to Rockwell Park. made . public highway. As this thoroughfare passes along the side Of the highway. the work of the developers in pro- viding branch highways through their contemplated residential tract would be greatly facilitated. | Struck By Automobile Stanley g.
