residence at S25S r street northwest.
long the home of the Joyce family and
better known as the Grant mansion,
from having been ocGNpier by s'n-
Z. S. Grant just after the close Of the
civil war, was bought at auction by
Eugene A. Byrres. The house In it's
day and time had been considered a
very pretenUOus one, being surrounded
by large grounds extending to Thirty
second street on the east, and Brown
street on the south.
The new owner. desiring TO have a
modern up-to-date residence, commits
prepare plans and specifications for re-
modelling the house.
Ine changes are extensive, embracing
most the entire rebuilding Of the struc-
re but as the colonial idea was adopt
ed, the new house is fully equal to the
old one as a feature Of the nelghbor-
ao0d-
The special features that win attract
most attention are the large covered
pOrches on the first and second stories
extending across the entire width of the
house in the rear and the handsome
colonial porch and front entrance with
the beautiful window design as a part
Of 1t. Keeping strictly in mind the char
acter of the building, the architect has
carried out the colonial idea with a
faithfulness that is too often departed
from 10 the detriment Of the many beau-
ties of that style.
In the interior changes a new colonial
stair case and artistic interior decora-
tons are a part Of the general plan,
while all thes modern equipments Of an
up-to-date residence have been installed
Like many of tie houses in this Sec

Only a few years ago the eastern sec

during the past three or four years,
row after row of attractive residences,
ranging in cost from $1,000 TO $500, have
been built, adding not only to the beauty
and attractiVeness Of the section, but 10
the value.
One of the largest enterprises Alnder-
taken by a single firm in this particular
section IS that of Kennedy & Davis, who
has purchased and subdivided the entire
square, 1856, bounded by Fourteenth,
Fifteenth. A, and B streets, snd North
Carolina avenue northeast. They intend
to erect on this new subdivision a total
of eighty modern houses, twenty OF
which are now in course of erection
They are twenty feet wide. with fronts
of Flemish bond brick each containing
six rooms. with modern bath and fur
mace heat. The interior fnishings will
be of a fine class in every respect.
These houses viii be sold at the low
price of $3.50 and $500 for the inside
houses, and $3.50 for the corners. on
the usually easy payment plan. The
firm of Rowzee-Van Reuth Company. Of
1925 Pennsylvania avenue northwest, are
the exclusive agents for this property,
and they expect much success II. selling
