Saving...
and James T. Rhodes, Esq. The house contains sixteen rooms. Dining-room, parlors, sitting room, kitchen, pantry and store room on the first, six rooms on the second floor, as well as bath rooms and water closet, and four servants' rooms in the attic. The furniture is good and serviceable. It also has a stable attached. Bathing is near and the rocks afford fine opportunities for fishing. There are three places that have always been coveted because of their supreme situations; the only three running from the Avenue to the sea and fronting South on the Ocean - Col Dunnell's, John Paine's & Gardner Brewer's. Whether as a residence or the culative investment, its purchase will be profitable, and we hope its peculiar charms may prove an enticement to you. Very truly Hazard Apthrop by Mayo
