THE RIVERSIDE PRESS. The publishing house of Houghton, Mifflin & Co. has its offices inBoston, New York, and Chicago, but its manufactory and shippingdepartment are in Cambridge, and the manufacture of books, whetherfor the Boston house or for other publishers, is carried on at the estab-lishment known as The Riverside Press. The estate on BlackstoneStreet comprises a tract of ground about four acres in extent. Thebuildings are separated from the public highwajr by a large openinclosure, and the Park system, when completed, will provide a wideroadway by the place. The river itself affords an important water-way, so that coal is brought in bulk and stored in capacious sheds onthe bank. The original building, a three-story structure of brick, sixty feet by forty, may be distinguished from the pile in which it is.
