NEW SILVER SPRING LIBRARY OPENS soon

James L. Blair, U. S. N. The park
is famed for its majestic old trees,
chiefly white oak and maple. The
work of preparing the park and
remodeling the mansion for it's
new uses began last March and is
almost completed. The rustic
charm of the sylvan setting has
been admirably preserved in Gre
ating a public park from this old
estate. It was the request of Mrs.
Janin that as the older trees died
they should be replaced by other
trees of the same kind, by the
modern system of landscape fores-
try.
The restoration has been made
according to plans drawn by Ma
jor Howard w. Cutler, Washing
ton and Silver Spring architect.
The park development and re-
modelling of the house into classic
Georgian architecture has been in
charge of Irving C. Root, chief
engineer of the Maryland-Nation-
al Capital Park and Planning
Commission. Estimated cost of
improvements including modern
plumbing heating and other con-
The Washington times., 1934-06-30

veniences is in excess of $4,000.
Materials are being furnished by
the park and planning commits
sion and the work done by CWA
laborerS.
The Silver Spring Public Ii
brary will be- housed in the first
floor of the building, with read
ing rooms for adults and chill
dren, reference library and a
large community room for the
genera use of public organiza-
tions. On the second floor are
administrative offices and the
quarters of the caretaker. The
house has been thoroughly mod
ernized and will make an ideal
home for the library.
The natural park itself now
has winding drives and walks
with leafy vistas on every hand.
When completed the park will
also contain an outdoor theater,
children's Fairgrounds with full
equipment, tennis courts and 9TH
er recreational facilities.
The addition of this remarkable
project to the many other attrac-
tive features of Silver Spring and
the Sligo Valley is certain to help
bring many new residents to this
delightful section.

Silver Spring and the entire
Eastern suburban area are look
ing forward with intense interest
and pride to the nearby day when
announcement will be made that
the magnificent Jesup Blair pub
lie park and the library building,
the remodeled mansion 1.-THE
Moorings," will be ready for the
use of the public.
The Jesup Blair Park is a part
of the beautiful and extensive
Sligo Valley Park system. The
park and house are the gift of the
late Violet Blair Janin to the
State of Maryland. Her will pro-
vided for the grounds to become
public park and the house to az
ford quarters for the Silver
Spring Public Library, as a me-
mortal to her brother Jesup Blair.
The property is located at the
District Line, Silver Spring, at
the intersection of Georgia Ave
nue. and Blair Road. The tract
contains seventeen acres of
wooded land with an estimated
value of a half-million dollars.

has been changed TO the original,
st. Clements Island, on whose
sandy beach over 300 years ago,
landed the two brave ships con-
tanning Lord Baltimore and his
band of fearless followers. The
great State of Maryland is just
having one of the most original
celebrations of this ancient event
ever put on by any State. The
first of this series of celebrations
took place at Blackstone Island.
A great white cross was erected
on the spot where Lord Balti-
more's followers planted their
small cross 800 years ago and the
ceremony was attended by thou
sands of people.
Historical Spot
Within sight of this island lies
a beautiful point of land, the his
tory of which is as celebrated as
that of the island itself. This has
been known as Coltons Point for
many years and on this point lies
the beautiful summer residential
subdivision known as Point Black
istone. This land lies high and
level above the Potomac River
and st. Clements Bay just above
where the river emptieS into Ches-
apeake Bay. For hundreds of
years this great body of salt water
has been Washington's most IA
nous fishing ground, nearly every
variety of the finney tribe gath
ering here in large numbers.
The beaches here are hard white
sand where the turf thunders in
The Washington times., 1934-06-30

making the finest bathing any
where near Washington.
Point Blackstone was laid out
carefully, and many beautiful cot.
tages will be found throughout
the subdivision. Some along the
shores, some surrounding the nat
ural harbor which nestleS almost
in the center of the allotment,
forming a natural harbor for the
cOttagerS' boats.
The lots at Point Blackstone
have sold for five to ten times the
price now asked, but on account
of the death of the owner, the late
Robert Blackstone, it has been
necessary to put them on the
market for the extremely low price
of $40 so that every family may
have the opportunity of owning
fine summer place at modest
price.
Sale Opens Today
The opening sale of these beau
tiful home sites will take place
