[Illustration]

The suburban house architecture of the towns about Boston is of exceptional interest and its quality is generally considered to be equal, if not superior, to that of any other locality in the country.  The reason for its superiority in design and consequent interest is largely traceable to the influence of such architects as Peabody & Stearns, Winslow & Wetherell, Andrews, Jaques & Rantoul, Hartwell & Richardson and a number of others who have given especial attention to residence work.

One of the most attractive collections of houses of this class which we have seen is contained in a finely printed little booklet issued by Dexter Bros., of Boston.  It contains photographic illustrations of eleven houses designed by the architects named above, and others.  The houses themselves are hardly more attractive than the excellently chosen and finely reproduced photographic views.  Messrs. Dexter Bros., upon application, will send this booklet to any architect or draughtsman.

For fastening any sort of work to stone or brick the clever expansion bolt, patented and manufactured by Isaac Church, of Toledo, is, on every count, the best device to specify.  Patterns for every special use imaginable are made by him and fully described in his catalogue.
