While many Of the houses recently
erected by j. II. ID. Seeds IL Son hayel
been sold, there are still some remain
ing equally as desirable. We think
even more SO. as to the ones now be-
ing erected In West Tenth street near
Broonie, il appears that everything
that Is desirable, substantial and
elegant has been planned and speoi-l
fled and is being put into these houses.
Each house Is separate, has windows
In all walls and Is surrounded by a
strip Of land on all sides. They are
three stories, the third being high
pitched, slated roof. They are of
brick with brown stone trimmings.
The inside finish Is solid, hard wood.
Each has ten rooms and bath. They
are so planned as 10 be coy, commo-
dious and desirable for small family
and equally 80 for large one. There
are front and rear piaZzas, The stairs
are OF Queen Anne style with stained
glass window. From the landing in
the second story the lighting of O gas
jet lights all the four rooms. as the
door of each Is directly from the
landing. Zach room has also It's own
lights.
The stairs are of solid hard wood
finish, and look much prettier than
earpeted stairs. The refrigerator is
between the kitchen and dining-room.
These are model houses and cannot
be beaten for the price, which Is with
in the reach of an average mechanic,
professional man or business man,
while the house Is elegant enough for
q millionaire.
The same characteristics and re.
marks apply In general to the other
houses Just erected and for sale by
this firm. There are four on West
Ninth street between jackson and
VanBuren, four on West Eighth street
between Franklin and Broome, OPP
posito the Park. The prices OF all
these houses range from S4T00 to
$780, No. 906 Broome street Is a
grand home for sale. Ono OF the
series has been sold for St0, 600. The
| above houses are OF different planning
and architecture.
The location is healthy and clean.
Inc surrounding landscape is pleasing,
The views of Wilmington and su.
burbs, and of the Delaware river, are
grand. There were two OF the Broome
street houses that sold for $500.
