I is . by many , considered the most beautiful resllence street In the south . Elegant homes surrounded by spa- cous grounds , studded with stately native trees of gigantic growth thG walks bordered with all the rich verdure and bright colors of flowering and foliage plants common to a semi-tropical climate , combine to make State street and ideal l southern thorougbrare. So proud are the wealthy people of the city of this beautiful street that they wi pay thou- sands for a lot fronting Iti when equally as good anti nIce lots on adjolnng ! streets might be had for as many hundreds The different styles of architecture , rangIng from the severely plain old colonial style , , vlth its tl Grecian columns , down to tie most modern cottage , resplendent In colors anti ornamentation lend a J . turequeness to the scene on State street.
