A LARGE QUANTITY OF DESIRABLE BUILDING PROPERTY OPENED UP BY THE LIBERALITY OF MRS. TITUS MEAD.
North street and vicinity are to many people the most desirable section for suburban homes, of any of the fine building sites in Greenwich. Some buyers of property prefer Belle Haven, with its exquisite marine views and bracing sea air; others preferred to live away from the water's edge, and to these North street has a charm which no other portion of the town possesses. Then, too, besides the location there are no drawbacks of any kind. High, with magnificent scenery, splendidly drained yet near the village, but still away from it, the land has been quickly purchased, as soon as put on the market, upon which rural cottages of unique design, exceeding all in costliess and beauty those which have made Elberson so famous, have been built.
The section is now destined to be more popular than ever through the liberality of Mrs. Titus Mead, who has set an example worthy of ambulation. This lady has not waited for a town meeting to vote a road through her land, which will be of great benefit to the property, but instead he's open to road at her own expense through her land, connecting to large thorough fairs together, and opening up a splendid tract of land whichThe section is now destined to be more popular than ever through the liberality of Mrs. Titus Mead, who has set an example worthy of ambulation. This lady has not waited for a town meeting to vote a road through her land, which will be of great benefit to the property, but instead has opened a road at her own expense through her land, connecting two large thoroughfares together, and opening up a splendid tract of land which will eventually come on the market. Engineer Minor has surveyed this road, which starts from near the brook on North Street, running westerly to the new road, a distance of about one thousand feet. It will be 55 feet wide. Following is the diagram made by him:
