The character of the houses
erected on Our high-class resi-
dence tracts is a matter of deep
concern to us, as we have
found by experience that well
designed, artistic and attrac-
tive homes in any residence
section are continual inspira-
tions to others to build houses
of the same character, increas-
ing the value of our property
and that of every one else in
the vicinity, while ugly, poor
ly designed houses have the
contrary effect.
We are therefore very anx-
ious to have the residences
erected in our great East Pied
mont Heights Tract particu-
larly attractive in order to give
character to this home-park.
