UNIQUE APARTMENT
PROVES A SUCCESS
One Large Suite on Each
Floor of COnmodiouS
Structure.
ENTIRE BUILDING RENTED
Experiment in New Style Building On
Sixteenth and M Streets Is
Satisfactory.

The experiment of an apartment house
designed 20 provide accommodations fer
a large domestic establishment is being
made In this city IN the building which
is now nearly completed at the south
east corner OF sixteenth and NJ streets
northwest. and is the property of the
Warder estate Although the building
IS not yet ready for occupancy. the fact
that every suite IN II is under lease
would indicate that a structure of this
kind win prove a. success in this city.
In outward appearance the building
has much the suggestion Of a residence
in the French style. but Of large dimen-
sions. IL occupies "A wide frontage on
both streets and IS five stories in
height
The peculiar feature Of the structure
IS the taking up of the entire space Of
each of the upper floors with the rooms
OF one suite so that there is only one
suite on "a floor, making but six suites
I'm the entire building. as the first floor
is divided into two suites
Each suite comprises some twelve
rooms, with not only the usual living
rooms of d house. but provision for
sleeping rooms for servants. and ample
bath rooms. Each suite is Il complete
house in itself and Is designed for a
style of living that might be described
as elaborate. The rent of each suite is
$500 per year. SO that the annual in
come from the entire building exceeds
$4,000
In attempting the experiment Ward
Thor0n. the representative Of the es-
tate, was not entirely certain as 10 the
outcome OF the venture, but the prompt
ness with which tenants have been Sc
cured rCT The entire building proves the
wisdom OF The Investment, besides the
fact that there Is a growing demand I'm

apartments.
