CITY INJURED BY
CHEAP STRUCTURES
Architect Totten Deplores
Tendency Of Spectators.
OPTIMISTIC FOR FUTURE
Believes There Will Be Fewer Apart
ment Houses, But Better Ones,
During 1906.

George O. Totten, jT., of the firm of
Totten & Rogers. architects, when asked
yesterday what he thought of the build
ing operations in Washington during the
past year. said: "A drive through the
city will Immediately show any Wash
ingtonian what has been done. and he
will surely be surprised with the magni-
tude of the work
1T is pity however" said Mr.. Tot
ten. that this work. consisting largely
of apartment houses and of row upon
row of speculative buildings. is not of
"a higher class. The city. to my mind.
he added has lost 10 to Is per cent of
Its beauty from this cause in the past
two years. ana consider II short-mind-
edness on the part of these investors not
10 take higher standard both in re-
gard 10 the character of the structures
they are erecting and to their archi-
teetural design.
There is one advantage. however;
they are so cheap it will be small loss
TO pull them down in order 10 make
room for something really worthy TO
take their places.
Architectural Merit Wanting
While speculative building of a very
high order, where the best architectural
talent Is employed, is carried on to a
great extent in other cities. it may be
said hardly to exist here. When re-
Gently in the Office of an architect, d
friend in New York. / saw upon his
boards the drawings for a house he was
70
upon specula tion.
Hardly 10 per cent of all the build
ing that is being done at the present
time here can be said TO have any archi-
tectural merit whatsoever.
For my own part" continued Mr..
Totten, Il have very optimistic views
as to the future greatness OF Washing
ton. They are based not upon theory
alone. but actual observation. as well. of
the influx of wealthy people from all
parts of the country. who find the
climate and the social life OF Wash
ington more attractive than any other
city Of America"
When asked what he thought of the
building prospects of the coming year.
he said:
1T is my opinion that there Will be
fewer apartment houses, bat hope bet
ter ones and a much higher class Of in
dividual building, where artistic merit
