THE PAST Summer
has proven a period of
persistent progress and
unprecedented prosper
ity and the people of
Pinehurst have minded
their p's and q', so to
speak. If anyone is
laboring under the delu
sion that the development of the Village
as a community of homes, occupied and
maintained by their respective owners, is
,a dream to be fulfilled in the dim future,
let him take a walk around town, and,
though he be a confirmed skeptic or a
veritable "doubting Thomas," he will
speedily exchange his feeling of indif
ference for one of unbounded enthusiasm
and unfaltering confidence in the future.
As this is written, there are twenty
seven new buildings in process of con
struction, twenty-four of which are for
residential purposes. All but six are be-
FINALS OF THE SPRING TOURNAM
ing built with outside capital; that is,
by individuals who have purchased lots
and are building or have built houses
upon them. This represents a very sub
stantial investment of capital, and when
to this is added the amount expended for
improvements and renovations in houses
already built, the figures run well over
the $200,000 mark.
We are going to invite Outlook read
ers to accompany us on an imaginary trip
about the Village, starting from the
western extremity, near "Box Court,"
the beautiful residence of Mr. T. L. Eed
field which has graced that section for
many years. Going along McCaskill Eoad
(which, by the way, was constructed only
last Summer) the first group of houses
encountered are those of Mr. H. F. Noyes
and Mr. C. L. Bausher on the left, and
that of Mr. Warren H. Bicknell on the
right.
THE BICKNELL HOUSE
Mr. Bicknell has adopted a plan some
what similar to that of "Box Court."
There is a main building in front with
ells running back on each side enclosing
a court. This provides the maximum of
light and air and admits of extension
almost indefinitely If Mr. Bicknell finds
he wants more room after he has occu
pied the house awhile, and, strangely
enough, almost everybody who builds in
Pinehurst does', he can go on adding ex
tensions to one or both of these ells ad
libitum without affecting the symetry of
ENT. CARTER AND MERRIMAN
his house in the least. The building, de
signed by Meade & Hamilton of Cleve
land, Ohio, who planned ' ' Hillcrest, "
the stately residence of Mr. M. B. John
son, is of the colonial type and will have
eight rooms with two sleeping porches and
will be provided with numerous baths,
closets, butler's pantry, laundry and sun
parlor.
Directly opposite is Mr. Bausher 's Win
ter home, also a colonial structure. This
will have sixteen rooms and will be a
commodious up-to-date house, complete in
every respect. Next to this is Mr. Noyes '
house. He, too, will have, a large and
spacious domicile thoroughly equipped
with every convenience one could ask,
including a garage in one wing. The
exterior appearance of this house will be
entirely different from anything else in
the Village and will lend a touch of
variety to the landscape that will be most
attractive. It will have a hip-on-gable
roof, which will afford variety and dis
tinction. Both these houses are from the
office of Clark & Arms of New York City.
DEVELOPMENT ON FRYE ROAD
Approaching the center of the Village
along Frye Eoad, the observer will note
on his right a square colonial dwelling
with hip roof and formal chimneys, which
is being built by Messrs. Priest and New
comb. This will have a living room, din
ing room, breakfast room, kitchen and
two servants' rooms, down stairs, and

NOW WE shall ask our
readers to imagine they
have seated themselves
in one of the new Pack
ard cars, Mr, Tufts has
recently bought for the
garage, with genial
' J immie ' ' Graham at
the wheel. With a
whirl and puff we find ourselves out in
the suburbs, as one might say.
Passing "Magnolia Farm," the mag
nificent all-the-year home of Mr. H. G.
Waring, and proceeding along Linden
Eoad some two miles we draw up opposite
Garran Hill, the brick residence of Walter
II. Page, United States Ambassador to
the Court of St. James.
