THE JEFFERSONIAN, TOWSON, MARYLAND IMPROVEMENTS UNDER WAY AT "STONELEIGH"— WORK BEGAN ON SANITARY SEWERAGE SYSTEM In Seventeenth Century Tract Came Into Possession Of William Govane Through Grant Made By Lord Baltimore—In 1850 It Passed To Late Robert P. Brown. An announcement which met with a warm reception from owners of building sites in Stoneleigh stated that work would begin at once on the sanitary sewerage system that has been under consideration this winter. Irving E. Butler, president of the Stoneleigh Corporation, announced that over $20,000 would be expended in making the improvement. Building contracts amounting to over $100,000 have already been authorized to those who plan to build homes this spring, and quite probably this amount will be doubled within BE A GENTLEMAN and .

This is the second year for Stoneleigh and if present activity can be taken as an indication of future progress, this district will continue to occupy prominent place in the better-class real estate development field. Stoneleigh takes in the old Robert Brown estate, until recently known as the Von Kapf property, and is located on York road, just north of Regester avenue. It was acquired by the Stoneleigh Corporation from Frederick Von Kapf, whose residence still occupies a* consppicuous spot in the development. In the Seventeenth Century this tract came into the possession of William Govane through a grant made by Lord Baltimore. More than half a century later, in 1850, it was purchased by Robert P. Brown from the Howards, and at his death came into the possession of his son, George Brown. Its picturesque setting, its delightful atmosphere of refinement is given a most pleasing historic background that dates back to the Seventeenth Century. The garden that remains a part of the Von Kapf homestead has been carefully preserved for many years, and is probably the most interesting spot on the property. An arborvitae hedge completely surrounds the garden. The flower garden in turn is enclosed by a boxwood hedge of rare beauty. Dozens of visitors are seen about the place daily in the spring and summer when the flowers are in bloom. They are drawn by the irri-sistlbie charm that is apparent at a first glance. DO NOT SUFFER!
