Kimball, on South Main street. It s what it has the appearance of being,—a home which reflects the good taste of its fortunate possessors in all that goes to make up a mansion which surpassed in costliness and elegance by few residences outside the largest cities. Mr. Kimball's artistic taste finds expression in an art coll of mucli NEW HAMPSHIRE HOMES. RESIDENCE OF WILLIAM F. THAYER, CO Faith in the future of that section of Concord popularly termed the West End has lately found expression in the building of some of the most charming residences of the city in that sightly locality. Prominent among them is the home of President William F. Thayer, of the First National Bank. It commands one of the finest views in the city, and is a pleasant home in the fullest significance of the word. It was built in 1S93.

Fiske, from whom it descended to his son, Francis A. Fiske, and thence to the present owner. The family of Mr. Fiske has been prominent in a legal and financial way in the state for more than half a century, and the present occupant of this house is one of the most prominent young financiers in the state. The character of this structure is typical of that of the family whom it shelters, the old-time virtues and solidity being the most prominent features of Mr. Fiske's personality. NEW HAMPSHIRE HOMES. A UNIQUE residence is that of Col. Frank West Rollins, at 135 North State street, Concord. It was completed in 1S90, from plans made by Andrew, Jacques & Rantoon, of Boston, and in elegance of finish, solidity of construction, and convenience of arrangement is proba- bly the equal of any residence in New England. Into it entered the personality of its owner, and the ready adaptability of the residence it here, in to social ends has made it the scene of many a pleasant gathering.
