CITY OF HOMES

CHANGES In LATE YEARS
Architects Now Design Rows

Available Space.
CHANGES In LATE YEARS

In the Olden days Washington was
scoTnIully desigua, ed as a city OF board
ing houses, and Il was said that only
those who were compelled 10 remain
here attempted To have homes or enjoy
the pleasures of home life. The nomadic
5character OF the population was said 10
initiate against the building up Of the
city with permanent abodes. and al
though the designation was an unfair
one IL chung To IT,
Today. however. this is ali changed,
and Washington might we'll be called a
city of homes. from she fact that during
the past thirty years the vast improve
ments made i'm every department OF the
citys growth has been such as To en-
courage the building of houses Of all
kinds, from the stately mansion of the
wealthy 10 the humble but not less de-
hghtful dwelling place OF the less fav-
ored Of the community.
Costly Ground Only Drawback.
The increasing price of ground has
made it necessary to econOmize in that
particular and the less expensive man
ner of building by combining several
buildings in "a rOw, has. therefore. found
favor not only with builders. but with
a large class Of citizens who desire TO
secure for themselves the utmost in the
way of comfort and beauty that their
money can procure
In the designing of rows Of houses
architects have given much attention.
and hence. scattered all over the city.
there are many rows possessing HumeT-
ous marks of architectural excellence
that make them noticeable from IN
artistic standpoint as well as attractive
for Jhei- homelike qualities. IN this re-
apect Washington is probably not sur
passed by any fher city in the country,
and adorned, as many of them are, by
beautiful lawns and growing plants, il
is not difficult TO discover that II the
designation of a city of boarding houses

Truly the City Beautiful.
The city beautiful" as Washington is
justly known is beautiful ia its public
buildings I'm its many large private
mansions, in its homes of more modest
design but equally so is it adorned and
embellished by the large number Of at
tractive rows of houses that are the
homes OF citizens who delight IN the

friends and are so rapidly taking I'd
