H. J. Blue Will Build
On Knollwood Heights
By April 1 Halbert J. Blue expects to start work on the
new -house he will build on his lots at the Corner of Midland
Road and Crest Road on Knollwood Heights.
A. B. Yeomans has the plans almost complete, and far
enough along that the drawings show a fine big house, 108
feet on the long dimension, two stories, of brick and siding,
colonial style, with the fine effects that Yeomans seems
able to give any building he designs.
The new house will front on Crest Road, about 60 feet from
the border of the property, with a picturesque gable effect
toward the Midland road, and the building arranged to fit
the contour of the ground.
Mr. Blue has a magnificent location, on the top of the hill,
and enough variation in topography to provide the features
the architect needed.

frame has been raised, and the building begins to show its
