Webster 6f Company Boston, Mass. ©C1.A375790 M 24 1914 THE COPLEY-PLAZA HOTEL FACING Copley Square, with the Public Library on one side and Trinity Church on the other, Boston's newest hotel, the Copley-Plaza, undoubtedly enjoys the finest location in this city. The hotel is one block from the Back Bay Stations where all the trains from the West and South stop to take on or discharge passengers. The business, theatre and shopping districts are but a pleasant walk from the hotel and a four minute ride. Patrons at the Copley-Plaza will find that which is the last word in hotel construction, appointments, service and cuisine, while the charges are most moderate. Our room tariff is as follows: — Single room with bath, $3.00, $3.50, and $4.00; double room with bath, $5.00, $6.00, $7.00 and $8.00. For the traveller who desires all that is best in a hotel, yet appreciates that congenial atmosphere which makes a mammoth hostelry like a home, we firmly believe the Copley-Plaza will meet his every need. The hotel is managed by Mr. Edward C. Fogg recently of the Hotel Belmont, New York City. If you are interested in stopping at the Copley-Plaza, an inquiry will receive our prompt attention. COMMONWEALTH AVENUE. BOSTON Among the beautiful highways of the world, Commonwealth Avenue takes high rank. It extends from the far-famed Public Garden, out into the beautiful suburb of Newton. It is restricted to residences only, and for that reason is occupied by numbers of Boston's most beautiful abodes. With its rows of stately trees extending the entire length and the broad promenade through the center it ends most fittingly, as regards this part, in the Fenway, a portion of the Metropolitan Park System. The Hotel Vendome, one of Boston's finest, is shown in the picture. HOTEL VENDOME THE HOTEL VENDOME, corner Commonwealth Avenue and Dartmouth Street, Boston, Mass., is one of the largest of the leading hotels in New England. It is away from noise of cars and traffic, yet but one block from car lines and within easy reach of points of interest. The steadfast popu- larity of the Vendome is due not only to its fortunate location, cool and quiet surroundings, but to its unexcelled clientele. Persons en route to and from summer resorts find it an ideal center from which to enjoy Boston; while as a permanent or transient residence it is equally desirable. The location is es- pecially attractive and convenient for Automobilists touring New England, and much patronized by them. Nearby garages are the best in the city. C. H. Greenleaf & Co., Proprietors. White Mountain Hotel, New Profile House and Cottages. THE FENWAY, BOYLSTON STREET, BOSTON The natural beauties of the landscape lying along Boylston Street on the borders of Brookline, have been very much enhanced by making a judicious use of the waters of Stony Brook, which flow through this territory, by laying out paths, planting beautiful trees and shrubbery, and finishing the edges of the natural water course. A series of beautiful small ponds have been made, and those in turn have been spanned by very artistic bridges of different designs. The above photograph shows the section of the Fenway lying between Boylston Street and the Art Museum. Surrounded as it is, by beautiful apartment houses and hotels of the Back Bay, crossed by the Boylston Street Bridge on one end and the Agassiz Bridge at the other, it makes a beauty spot almost in the heart of the city, which is practically undiscoverable until one unexpectedly comes upon it. HOTEL PURITAN, BOSTON, MASS. ONE of the most exclusive Boston hotels, is in the fashionable Back Bay district on famous Com- monwealth Avenue one hundred yards west from Massachusetts Avenue. It is now within ten minutes by street cars, and with the completion of the Boylston Street Subway in 1914 with its nearby Massachusetts Avenue station, will be but five minutes from the business and shopping district and theatres. This hotel, patronized by both transient and permanent guests, is equipped after the fashion of a home of the better class, and is a more than ordinarily attractive public house. Its sun parlor is one of the most delightful winter rooms in Boston. Any variety or arrangement of rooms can be had. Valet service is provided and luggage sent on ahead will be unpacked and contents cared for as directed. Dur- ing the summer, dinner at a fixed price is served in the cool roof garden. The owners and manager of the Puritan aim to conduct a house which shall meet in every particular the wishes of those who demand the best without ostentation. It is a house of the highest class with modest prices and some globe trotters have been good enough to say it is one of the most attractive and com- fortable hotels in the world. BOYLSTON STREET AND TECHNOLOGY BUILDINGS Boylston Street, just out of Copley Square, contains the buildings of one of the country's greatest institutes of learning, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, a view of which is shown above. Adjoining these buildings, stands the Museum of Natural History, containing a very fine collection of birds and animals. Just west stands the new Old South Church, with the Public Library and the beautiful Copley-Plaza Hotel adjoining, and with the famous Trinity Church, completing the four sides of the square. These famous old institute buildings will soon be a thing of the past, as there are now being constructed on the banks of the Charles River in Cambridge, a group of buildings, which, when completed in 1916, will stand foremost among the college buildings of the country. HOTEL LENOX, BOSTON, MASS. ON the corner of Boylston and Exeter Streets, just beyond aristocratic Copley Square, and in the center of Boston's finest and newest Back Bay shopping district, is located the above hotel. Electric cars from the subway, pass the door both on Huntington Avenue and Boylston Street, and the Back Bay and Huntington Avenue Stations on the New York, New Haven and Hartford, and the Boston and Albany Railroads are within a minute's walk. It has two hundred and fifty guest rooms, each one of which has an outward exposure and is connected with bath. Electric light and telephone service are in every room. The hotel has a restaurant service without an equal in New England. This hotel is owned by and conducted under the management of the Associated Trust. AGASSIZ BRIDGE The Fenway section of the Metropolitan Park is noted for the beautiful bridges which span the streams running through it. Among them, the one portrayed above is considered the most beautiful. Overhung as it is with ivy and trailing vines, and constructed out of natural stone, arched in a most pleasing form, it makes a setting for the surrounding scenery which is well nigh perfect. isUfcisi^ii H!L'L mm I ' ~- M 1 1 H ■ li IHHIMM _ iimi mill M HOTEL BUCKMINSTER, BOSTON, MASS.

The Commonwealth Avenue entrance to the Boylston Street Subway is within one hundred yards of the hotel, bringing guests within five minutes of Park Street and the Cambridge Subway. Surrounding the hotel are the famous drives through the Metropolitan Park System, which is without a superior in the world, and where one can drive for forty miles in one direction without leaving the park. This hotel is owned by and conducted under the management of the Associated Trust. IHt BtACH ANU <;AI, LOUPE'S POINT, SVVAMPSCOTT. MASS.

SURF ON CAPE ANN Of all the wild and rocky shores for which New England is famous, none probably presents more pic- turesque spots to the eye of the artist and nature-lover, than rugged old Cape Ann. Standing as it does, farther into the ocean than almost any other point between Eastport and New York, and dominated at its outer extremity by Thatcher's Island lights, two of the most famous beacons of the coast, it receives the full sweep of the North Atlantic surges. Here the sea beats ceaselessly, and the display of surf, even on the quietest of summer days, is beautiful beyond conception. The above photograph presents a picture of its power when in a stormy mood, a sight which the dweller in the western part of our country never for- gets when he has once seen it.

The above picture shows a little of its beauty after a storm. ^■"^W" ! !i?««iN55S!!*lr S!*!!!LiiHii,;i; -1-w^ - •^'^^'^^'tekv;^^^'" .- ^_ - ^.tt.^1 -. YOUNG'S HOTEL, YORK BEACH, ME.

ECHO BRIDGE, NEWTON LOWER FALLS Spanning the beautiful Charles River, made famous in song and story by the Poet Longfellow, and now the great summer resort of canoeists by the thousand, rises the beautiful Echo Bridge. The bridge, which is not a bridge in the true sense of the word, but simply a stone viaduct for carrying one of the great water mains which supplies the City of Boston, is a marvelous thing of beauty, both from the grace of its lines and the solidity of its construction. Standing in the arch on either side, a most remarkable echo is obtained, thrown back and forth across the river a number of times, from which arises its name. A section of the Metropolitan Park embraces this bridge, and beautiful paths and recreation benches surround the banks on both sides of the river which it spans.

SCENES AT NARRAGANSETT PIER— THE CASINO-THE BATHING BEACH GLADSTONE HOTEL American and European Plans Open in June for the Season of 1914 LOCATED at Narragansett Pier, the famous resort for which Nature has done much. Its climate is , healthful, cool and dry. Its situation is such that it is within easy reach of the Summer traveler, either by boat or railroad. It is in the Southern part of Rhode Island, on the Atlantic, just at the entrance to Narragansett Bay. Here it has the combined benefits of the wide ocean and the protection of the outlying shore of the Bay. The Gladstone is a modern, well-equipped, beautiful hotel, with accommodations for three hundred and fifty guests. It contains one hundred and eighty-five bedrooms, many of them with private baths connected. Comfort, breeziness and beauty are combined in the arrangements of the rooms. Extensive improvements have been made this season, a number of rooms having been equipped with new baths, the most sanitary plumbing, and every modern convenience. The rooms have been redecorated and attractively refurnished throughout. With these improvements and other improvements made during the past few years, there are one hundred rooms having private baths connected, and the Gladstone now offers handsome suites consisting of parlor, one or more sleeping rooms and bath, thus enabling the guests to enjoy the comforts and exclusiveness of home. A distinct and enjoyable feature of the Gladstone not found at other seashore resorts is four acres of well-kept and beautifully shaded lawns, which surround the building wherein guests will find delightfully cool retreats.

THE PUBLIC GARDEN - BOSTON Wherever one hears of Boston, mention is also made of the PubUc Garden; one is not complete without the other. Located as it is at the junction of Boylston and Arlington streets, and presenting to both thoroughfares its wealth of trees, shrubbery and blossoms, it is indeed in the summer a thing of beauty. In its center lies a charming pond, spanned by a stone bridge, of an architecture in full keeping with its surroundings, and dotted in the season with pleasure boats filled with merry makers. At the height of the season, the display of flowers is remarkable. In the foreground of the above picture stands Ball's equestrian statue of Washington, which dominates the entire garden.

Lying about two miles out of the busy city of Haverhill, Mass., not far from the shore of the beautiful Merrimack River, stands the little two-story cottage in which the poet Whittier was born. This house which has now been made a historical shrine, is visited yearly by thousands of tourists from all over the country. Here lies the scene of "Snowbound", "The Barefoot Boy", not far away, the grave of the Princess, the brook in which Whittier played when a boy, the Old Covered Bridge across the river, the colonial Peaslee Garrison House, and a number of other places made famous by the Poet. A short distance away is Oak Knoll, where he also lived, as well as Amesbury, a later home. The interior of the house, filled as it is with historical relics and mementos of the poet, ranks among the first of Massachusetts famous historical shrines.

Added to the natural features of this part of the common is the Brewer Fountain, shown in the above picture, which was presented to the City of Boston a number of years ago by Gardner Brewer, a wealthy resident, whose house was erected on the site of the old Hancock Mansion which stood adjoining the State house. While the citizens of Boston never got over the keen feeling of disappointment occasioned by the destruction of this famous old revolutionary landmark, the loss in some measure, has been atoned for by this beautiful fountain, which in the summer with its innumerable jets of water playing in every direction, makes a delightful spot in the middle ground, as one looks at the Statehouse from Tremont Street.

Among the quartette of famous Puritan Houses, the home of John Alden takes a high rank. A plain unpretentious frame house with an old apple tree in the front yard, standing not far from the homes of Miles Standish, Wm. Bradford and Gov. Winslow, and at present the home of Priscilla Alden of the ninth generation, it is a dwelling of which the citizens of the old Bay State are justly proud.

Surrounded on all sides by summer residences within easy reach of the famous old cities of Salem, Portsmouth and Newburyport, it has the added distinction of being in the summer, probably the greatest rendezvous for pleasure yachts in the world. The New York Yacht Club on its annual cruise in August, makes Marblehead harbor its chief stopping place, at which time, it is no uncommon sight to see five hundred yachts gathered here at one time. Some of the most famous yacht races in the country have taken place here, both National and Inter- national. Adding to this the famous history of Marblehead with its quaint old legends of colonial times, a description of the North Atlantic coast, leaving out Marblehead Harbor, would be like that of England with London left out.

BOSTON HARBOR AND THE CITY LOOKING FROM EAST BOSTON Pre-eminent among the harbors of the New England coast, stands Boston Harbor, a small portion of which is shown in the above photograph. Extending as it does, nine miles from the City proper, to Boston Light, and in the other direction, from Hingham to Winthrop, it embraces a water area of depth and magni- tude unexcelled. At the present time one of the greatest docks in the country is finished and a dry dock is to be completed beside it, the largest in the country. With the system of docks now in process of con- struction and others planned, Boston Harbor in the near future will be probably the finest in the country. Dotted as it is over its entire area with a large number of beautiful islands, and with the picturesque light- houses at its entrance, one of them among the oldest on the entire Atlantic coast, the traveler who approaches this harbor will get an impression of beauty which he will never forget. En WE extend a cordial invitation to summer visitors in New England to avail themselves of the many advantages offered by this institution as a depository for their funds and securities.

Erected in 1846, on the site of several old houses purchased by Moses Kimball to house his collection of curiosities it has been the scene of the triumphs of such notable actors as Edwin Booth, John McCullough, Lawrence Barrett, William Warren, and others too numerous to mention. Here were produced the famous old plays of theatrical history, such as " Lady Audley's Secret," " The Shaughraun," " The Rivals," many of Shakespeare's Dramas, and others. About 1906, the old building was taken down to make place for the present Kimball Building. The above picture, taken in 1875, shows some of the old houses of the early century. WILLIAM H.

These beautiful beacons, lying as they do, midway between Boston Light and those of Thatcher's Island, and standing guard over the famous harbors of Gloucester, Salem, Beverly and Marblehead with their wealth of historical resorts, and surrounded by waters which in the summer are dotted with pleasure fleets of the whole north shore, present a picture of marine architecture which cannot be excelled on the coast of the good old Bay State. iiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Macullar Parker Company 400 Washington Street Boston, Massachusetts CORDIALLY INVITE YOU TO INSPECT THEIR STOCK OF FINE CLOTHING FOR MEN AND BOYS, ALL MADE ON THE PREMISES IN THEIR OWN WORKROOMS BY OLD AND EXPERIENCED WORKMEN iiiiiiyiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii^^ OLD GOODHUE HOUSE, DANVERS, MASS. This old house, which now unfortunately is but a memory, having been burned in the dead of a winter's night several years ago, presents perhaps as beautiful a picture for an illustration of Whittier's Snowbound as could ever be found. While its history is very humble, it stood as one of Danvers' oldest houses, and surrounded as it was, by the birthplace of Israel Putnam, the Rebecca Nurse House, the famous old Tea Party House, the Jacobs House, scene of one of the Witchcraft Delusions and the King Hooper House, once occupied by one of the colonial governors of Massachusetts, it was a sad loss to the old Bay State.
