In the Spanish Style.
Variety in the style of architecture is a
characteristic feature of the houses in this
city. Even when a row is built at one time
anu Dy one person an eIIOrC Is MADE TO
secure some diversity In outlines, so as to
avoid the effect Of dry goods box, as IS
found in long row of uniform style. Some
houses that are being put up on Columbia
street between 18th and 14th streets by
c. NJ. Campbell Illustrate this principle.
The architect. Waddy B. Wood, has adopt
ed the Spanish style in drawing thu design,
and the result gives pleasing diversity to
the type of city houses.
