Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1904-07-16

An addition to the number of large and
handsome private residences in this city
will be made when the house now being
erected for Mr.. Dickinson Jewett at the
southwest corner Of Connecticut avenue
and street is completed. The purpose of
the design Of the house, as can readily be
seen. is to make 1T In effect what it is in
tended to be, namely a place to live in, SO
that 1t will not only be a home. but will
look like one, and not like a building that
might be intended for most any use. The
architects, Messrs. Marsh & Peter, have
followed the English renaissance in their
design. The new structure is to be broad
and low. with high-pitched roof covered
with red tile. The material used for the
exterior walls, will be dark red brick with
white joints and a hitescornice. The main
entrance will be in the center Of the street
front, which extends eighty feet. A feature
of the house will be the garden on the
south side.
About Georgetown Property.

Of the Miller Shoemaker Real Estate Com
pany, in speaking of the West End stua-
ton, said:
July has been a brisk month in George
town realty circles. There have been
countless inquiries and profitable pur-
chaSes. There are number OF new build
ing enterprises in course of contamination,
and the ready manner in which applications
for large loans are considered by Wash
ington institutions and capitalists bespeaks
substantial appreciation OF Georgetown
values.

in the sale of lots in the subdivisions north
of Georgetown near the District line.

ored home buyers, and every property Of
fered is quickly sold at a satisfactory price.

sades of the Potomac subdivisions, and I.

dullness that usually hovers over the Wash
