s THE PRESBYTERIAN NEW PARSONAGE ■S d ONE OF OUR FINEST C0TTA0E5 t Tie Presbyterian Pastor to be Comfortably an) Nicely floased 1 The new Presbyterian parsonage on e Hughes street is a credit to the ohorch and to the city and is one of the fine cottage improvements of the typical Cape May kind, built for many years of service. Every detail of its building and equipment is the work at Cape - May mechanics and the thoroughness ' and fine workmanship which mark 1 every item is highly creditable to them ! and gives an object lesson to those ? who seek to find abroad rather than at home, every good thing. The cottage is seven feet above the surface and : has a roomy basement in which is ; placed the hot water heating plant 1 and storage closets, the floors and ! walls being cemented. The porches are broad and cajla cious, extending about half way around on the Bide to1 ward the church. There is an abundance of light from the large windows in all parts of the bouse, including even (he basement Entrance is made to a larg' reception hall with the drawing room on the right, in the rear of which is the handsomely finished and paneled dining room, the pantry and kitchen opening into it from the left. The first and second floors are finished in red oak, the doors being veneered and finished in the natural grain with hard oil. They are very pretty. The stairway with oak balustrades, is finely finished and broad at.d of ascent. Large stained glass windows supply light for the stairway. floor on the first floor is rifted pine. A large fire place in the nail and another in the drawing room. The second floor consists of four bed rooms and a bath room, all opening from tbe hall. Pastor McL od [ i selected the left front rrom for . j sleeping apartment and this com- | municat s with the rear rooms, which j he will make his study and which will ' [ towards tbe sea. On the Up**)- J I floor, which is finished in cypress, are-^khree commodious re^ms end ' bath. Thd house is supplied with ' both gas and electric fixtures. ' Who did it? The York Brothers obtained the contract and have given it I careful attention which is charac- 1 teriatic of them. They know how to give their clients a "square deal" in a { matter of this kind and they know notbing^else. The fine hot water heat- f ing plant is the work of George W. t steam fitter and plumber. It has been installed scientifically and e works like a charm. Feed it properly \ and it will do the rest in any weather. J brick laying and cement work waa done by Robert H. Fadeley, whose { is a synonym for square dealing | in this line and the plumbing whs in- j stalled by Benjamin Curtis, one of the most skilled of our plumbers.
