Would Encourage Fine
Architectural Styles
Architect A. O. Won Hcrbuis Advocates Of
fering of Prizes For Owners of Best
Designed Houses Each Year.

Architect A. o. Won Herbulis, who
has designed many beautiful buildings
that have been erected in Washington
and other cities in the past few years,
has some advanced ideas on the future
OF Washington from an archiut ctural
point OF view.
Washington" he said yesterday.
with its beautifully arranged parks and
broad streets, is as susceptible 10 beau
tiful and artistic treatment as any city
in the world. 1t behoove5 us to be very
careful. as what is done now viii have
great bearing upon the class Of buildings
to be erected in the future
The tendency to an indifferent aud
deadly similarity of construction has
done more to retard the artistic in archi-
lecture than is healthful for a city occu-
pying the unique position that the Cap
ital City does. Our public buildings are
indeed grand and would be pride to
any nation, but with private residences
il is different. These. with but few ex-
ceptions. are any thing but artistic,
graceful. OF ornamental TO the city"
The betterment of these conditions
without any additional cost, is q pet
idea of Mr.. Won Herbulis, who main
tains that 1t costs no more to construct
building along graceful lines than it
does TO erect the average building OF to-
day. While the initial cost may be very
slightly increased. II would not be worth
considering compared with the results
that would be obtained by the better
style.
Since the Board Of Trade has taken
up the question OF changing the build
Ing regulations, Mr., Won HerbuIis sng-
gests that the Board of Trade and the
Business Mems Association offer three
prizes annually to be paid to the owner
for the three best designed houses tn the

SWartzell, Rheem d 9ensey
Plan Handsome Structure.
WILL USE 1T EXCLUSIVELY
Building to Go Up on Barton Hotel Site
VIII Correspond With Others in
That Neighborhood.

Although no definite designs have
been settled upon for the structures to
be erected on the site Of the Barton
Hotel, a deal for the purchase OF which
is now being concluded by W. b. Hibbs,
it Is certain that the building 10 be
put up on the northern part of the
site by the SwartzeIl Rheen & Hen
sey Company. will be for the exciu-
siVe use OF that concern. The deal
ings Of the Swartzell, Rheern d Hen
sey Company are with Mr. Hibbs. who.
in turn, cannot pass title to them until
he gets title from the present owner.
II is expected that the transaction
will be finally concluded within the
next thirty days. and architects win
probably be commissioned 10 go ahead
preparing the plans for both the Hibbs
building and that Of the Swartzeu.

the deeds viii have been recorded.
To Build Over Entire Lot.
The part OF the site to be ustd by
the SwaTtzell, Rheem * Hensey Com
pany has a frontage of 3Tik feet on
Fifteenth street by a depth on its
north side Of I34 feet and on its south
side by I09 feet. The entire area will
be covered by the real estate Offices of
the new owners. and the building will
be of character to correspond with
the other handsome structures OF the
neighborhood. The amount OF money
to be expended on IT has not been de-
teTmined. but ii is intended TO spend
enough TO make the building q credit
to the locality.
The building will be fireproof
throughout. and will be constructed
after the most approved modern style
Of structures built for the exclusive
use of one concern. Both exterior
and interior will be massive looking
and attractive. 1t will probably be
year before the house will be ready
for occupancy.
