Above is an advertisement from the May 1910 issue of Country Life in
America.
"Belle Terre Estates cover a lofty peninsula jutting into Long Island
Sound at Port Jefferson -- the boldest, most commanding headland along
the Northern shore. Its natural loveliness, artistic development, and
nearness to New York, have drawn to its wooded heights a notable summer
colony of refined congenial people, who rejoice in its exceptional
location, superior improvements, perfect privacy, excellent society,
and freedom of a great estate affording enjoyment of every seaside
pleasure without possibility of intrusion by any objectionable element."
"...
A few homes with different sized landscaped plots are ready for
occupancy. Each is perfect in itself and in the values range from:--
Bungalows $3,000 to $10,000; Colonial Homes $10,000 to $20,000; English
Country Houses $20,000 to $25,000..." Dean Alvord Company |
