"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
