demand mas exceeded all expectations. Inc
company could. Ii is claimed. sell twenty
more houses within the present week to
customers already on their lists If houses
could be provided for immediate occupancy.
In view of this great demand it has been
determined to take orders for homes, to be
| built either after designs already prepared,
| or in accordance with such plans as may
| be proposed by intending purchasers
The houses which have been sold at Saul s
Addition have been offered at figures rang
| ing, from $3.50 to 5000. The new series
| of homes now in preparation differ in their
| architecture and are expected TO be pla, ed
| on sale at prices from $500 to $i0,0SO.
| These houses will have every modern con-
venience, and their appointments will be
| complete in every particular. An especial
| feature will be wide verandas, with m s.
| by the colonial sty.e Of architecture will
! be a prime consideration in Their arrange
| ment.
Further Improvements.
| When the building up OF the portion of
Sauls Addition between the old nth street
road and the new car line las been com
pleted the Improvement of the area. lying
on the other side OF TIE tGa>ks and ex-
tending as far eastward as Brgh atwood ave
nue. will be commenced. AS has been eE-
planned, the portion Immediately adjoining
the Piney Branch road has been first &C.
velopel on account OF its more bic
elevation and its efect'n molaing the cnar-
Fourteenth street IS diverted at the south
end of the subdivision, and the car line is
DETECTED along Iowa avenue until 1t again
enters 18th street, running in the same
northerly direction but 100 yards to the
westward. This wide avenue forms an at
tractive plaza and it will afford an excel
lent location for houses of particularly
high class. Plans for one such residence,
to be occupied by Mr.. Harry Wardman,
are now in preparation.
The whole aspect of the surroundings
has been SO suddenly transformed from d
nursery farm To one of Washingtons most
beautiful suburbs that Suuls Addition
represents a substantial contribution to the
citys development.
Willige, Gibbs & Daniel also report a
large number of sales of individual lots
in this subdivision ranging in price from
$1,000 to S3,JOo. These lots are bought in
some cases for speculative purposes by
those whose foresight convinces them of
the rapid rise in values 10 be expected,
and in others by parties intending them
for their own homes.
Out Near Benning.
Hillbrook. lying between Minnesota ave-
nue. and 10th street northeast, directly op-
posite the Bennng course of the Washing
ton Jockey Club, is one of the most rapidly
developing subdivisions in that section of
the District of Columbia. Situated al Dean
wood station on the Pennsylvania railroad,
on the steam cars, in addition to the ad-
vantages of two trolley lines. The cars
running out of the II street barn branch at
one corner of the property, one line run
ming - kenilwCrth and the other to the
District line at Chesapeake Junction.
The tract of sixty acres subdvided
just one year ago into coo lots, and one
third of that number has already been
sold. Eight houses have been constructed
on the property and the government of
the District of Columbia has completed the
foundations for handsome new fire engine
station on lot which donated by the
owners of the subdivision. The building
Will cost about S24.Ut1, and the company
which Will be uu4rtercd there will offer
fire protection to the residents of Kenil-
worth Benning Heights Benning and other
subdivisions in the vicinity.
The streets have been improved by side
walks, and one of the greatest needs is the
extension of sewers and water mains along
the new highways. The subdivision comes
within the mail delivery service, and police
protection has been afforded by the ex-
tonsIOn of one of the beats in the ninth
precinct. Liquor restrictions have been
written into the contracts on which all of
the lots have been sold, and the Suburban
Homes Company which has offices in the
Colorado building and which is exploiting
the subdivision, has planned to make it,
especially attractive to lovers of peace and
quletude.
