HOUSE OF MIR. s. G.. WARD.

With the massive Warder house. a stone structure
of positive grandeur. this stands for the most i'm
posing phase OF that fastidious style OF archi-
lecture which makes the streets of Washington a
series Of artistic pleasures
1t will have been observed that some OF the
most artistic touches in the domestic architecture
Of Washington are those. like the entrance to the
Boardman house. which have their roots In actual
needs Life in the capital city is not go radically
different from life elsewhere that houses possess
Invariably marked differences OF plan. yet mere
and there one finds interesting pecuiiarity
For example, the custom is to have all ashe5 re-
moved by way OF an alley running through every
block at the backs OF the houses. The same Gus
tom prevails In other cities. notably Chicago. but
In one case a Washington architect, Mr.. Blbb.
was not content to have the subordinate portion
Of the house he was designing LETT untouched by
his art He accepted the brick fence which hid
the backyard from public view as material sus-

but that was because he was building a palace
and he needed stone for the proper expression Of
his ideas Broadly speaking there are more
homes than palaces here. and the use OF
brick in so many Of the houses has intens-
fed this domestic effect, as IL might be called.
That is to say. the frs: feeling inspired by the
artistic brick houses in Washington is That they
must be pleasant places to live IN. That their
OCCUPANTS must take comfort in their homes
one OF the most delightful houses is one be-

1t is the harmonious character Of the houses Of
Washington that makes them interesting and ar
tstic, the constituents OF a beautiful, ensemble.
To study them one by one is only to come back In
the end to a broad survey Of the whole fine gath
ering. and to conclude that they have been held
together by remarkably spontaneous and logi-
cal development of architectural art. They do
not illustrate a style. But over the construction

IL is the more remarkable too, in the case Of this
