Description
Taken Mch 8 -24 when we
accompanied the Sargents of
Columbus, Oh. to Cataline
I'd on the steamship Avalon
This scene was snapped
while we were motoring about
"seeing things" on the famous
Island, and just after Wm Wriggley
his wife and chaffeur had met us
going up to look at his $166,00.
new home on a high hill, at the
eastern edge of Avalon. I believe it
is a French style (partially at least) of
architecture, not at all pretty from
the village, but more attractive as you
get nearer on a level with it. The steep
sloping hillside is terraced and covered
with verbenas, daisies and altogether
some five hundred (odd) species of
the flower kingdom in the seven
acres. 35 more acres are to be added
and planted with reg geraniums as
a memorial to the late Pres. Harding
who was to have been a guest of the
Wriggleys the very night of his death.
