trols some very attractive sites for

MACKALL & LAUGHLIN.

a comparatively new real estate firm
IN Washington is that OF MackaH &,
Laughlin- The partnership between II.
{. Mackall and Clifton L.aughlin was
formed about a year ago.
This firm is doing a fiourishing busi-
ness, dealing especially in property W.
Ing on the west side of the Potomac
river and along the line of the Great
Falls and Old Dominion railway. One
OF the principal subdivisions in which
the firm is interested is that Of ..Ingle-
side" This property has an unusually
high elevation and il on the line of the

the most fertile section OF Fairfax

JOHN NJ. HENDERSON.

Mr.. John NJ. Henderson has been in
terested in real estate operations IN this
city for the past eighteen years. He has
been largely engaged n building opera
tons in the northwestern section Of the
District for some time. in which field he
has been eminentIy successful.
Mr.. Henderson's chief interests in sub

of property in Brookland and South
Broodand, while, for the past four
years he has been the exclusive agent
for a large part Of the popular Wood
ridge subdivision. and under his active
campaign many lots have been sold and
dwellings, erected.
The best property in any section viii
remain unsold year after year IL not
handled by the right kind of agents.

Washington has taken kindly to the
apartment house and builders have
bent every effort to provide the best
and most attractive form Of home that
such buildings can give. 1t is recog-
nized that the occupant, whether IL be
of one where the rents run into fab
ulous figures or the more modest kind
that enable the head of a family TO
provide a shelter without parting with
his entire income demand all the con-
veniences required in our present day
existence TO make life bearable.
ehrewd builders have not overlooked
this fact and the houses now building
are models Of convenience and comfort.
The success of the mammoth houses
has been so great that numbers Of
smaller ones have come into existence
and a popular form has grown up in
the three and four story apartments
built in the most modern manner.
Architect n. r. Grimm has just com
pleted the design for one TO be erected
on Euclid street, between Thirteenth
and Fourteenth. which is intended to
be an ornament 10 the street and in
every respect a most delightful home.
The house Will be four stories in
heighs with a front Of light gray brick
set off with trimmings of Indiana lime
stone. 1t will be in the form of two
houses so arranged that every room
has ample sunlight, having a thirty
foot alley in the rear and forty feet
open space on each side of the build
