THE GREATER PINEHURST
(Concluded from page one)
Close by, the new home of Mrs. Martha
JJ". Bliss, widow of General Bliss and
mother of former Lieutenant-governor
Bliss of Rhode Island, was completed
early in November. "Charming" is the
description in one word ; charming within
.and without. Interest of visitor at
ouce turns to the big combination living
and dining room leading oft from the
eutrance hall; its effective lighting
.and diinty arrangement in pleasing
harmony with the trellised veranda
which adjoins it. A butler's pantry
kitchen, store room, and maid's room
with bath, complete the lower floor with
a cement cellar and heating system below.
Four sleeping rooms, two baths, a linen
room, and sleeping porch occupy the
upper floor of this delightful retreat.
The remodelled Beacon was occupied
early in November by its new owners, Mr.
and Mrs. J. D.C. Itumsey,and Mrs. John
Smithers of Brooklyn. The result is
a charming double house with combi
nation living room and dining room, and
kitchen upon the lower floor, and sleeping
rooms and baths on the upper. Mr. and
Mrs. Kumseyhave, in addition, a sleeping
room and bath on the lower floor, and in
the new cellar a heating system has been
installed. . .
The rebuilt "Cassa Yucca," the home
of Mrs. Guy Metcalf of Providence, is
easily the most unique and convenient
small cottage in the Village. The addi
tion of two gables provides for a side
entrance with hall, leading to living room,
dining room, kitchen and maid's room,
three bedrooms, baths, and a sleeping
porch. The new cellar contains a heater
and the house throughout is a model
of arrangement, convenience and indi
viduality. The Maple remains only such in name
for the new owners, Mr. and Mrs. Leslie
D. Tierce of Rochester, Vt., have changed
its character completely. Living room,
dining room, kitchen, maid's room and
sleeping porch occupy the lower floor,
with sleeping rooms and baths on the
upper, through rebuilding.
Work on the new home of Mr. and
Mrs. George J. Jenks of Harbor Beach,
Mich., is wdll underway and the exterior
is most interesting. Mr. and Mrs. George
T. Dunlap of New York, have also started
their bungalow and Mr. and Mrs. Robert
Hunter of Noroton have also made im
portant changes in the Mystic. Work on
the new home of Mr. and Mrs. Henry S.
Houston of Holyoke, is beginning and
flnal plans for the Henry C. Fownes'
villa promise a notable addition to the
list of larger houses.
The installation of a modern $10,000.00
refrigerating and ice-making plant is im
portant work which occupied Novem
ber. In all 8000 feet of distribution pipe
will supply hotels and store from the
Power Plant whei-3 are located the pumps,
tanks, compressors, ice making machine,
and other appliances. The unique feature
of the system is insulation of the supply
pipes by enclosing them in 15 IS inch
terra cotta pipes, surrounded with granu
lated cork and pitch ; permanence which
has the future in mind. 1 A new electric
generator adds to the lighting efficiency.
A new clay road leads from the Spring
bungalow to the railroad station and a
new street has been opened to the Ivy
cottage which in its new location, will be
occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Donald J. Ross.
Village streets and shrubbery have also
received the usual attention; the past
summer's growth exceptional owing to an
abundance of rain, f Both the Dairy
and Market Garden are better equipped
than ever to provide for increasing needs
and from an agricultural standpoint, the
summer has been a remarkable one.
The new Jackson Springs Hotel
promises a charming retreat for visitors
as well as providing accommodations
for those who desire to make it permanent
headquarters. Mr. and Mrs. William
Jordan, favorably known to Carolina
guests for so many years, will be in
charge. Special attention will be given
to dinners, luncheons, suppers and teas.
Famous for century and a half as a South
ern resort, this favored spot bids fair to
be a favorite rendezvous among northern
visitors. And behind its reputation
always is the marvelous quality of
the water of the historic spring which
gushes out from a rift in a huge boulder
just as one finds the world-famous Poland
Spring.
The addition of twenty new baths at
The Carolina greatly increases the ef
ficiency of this splendid hotel where
visitors began gathering fully two weeks
in advance of its formal opening on No
vember 20th. The Holly Inn and Berk
shire have received the usual careful
attention during the summer. 1 Golf
course accomplishment is treated in a
separate story as are other results of the
past and busiest of summers in the history
of this the gem of all resorts.
