In the way OF comfort. Comfort IL not the
important quality in an out Of the ordinary
abode.
Several years g a woman sculptor de-
cided that she must have an atelier large
enough for both her and her husband, who
Is also OF the same profession. She finally
heard Of a church that was for sale. and II
seemed to have greater artistic possible
ties than any thing else she could discover.
So abe bought the red brick church and the
architects got busy.
The result Of their work was a symmetrical
building that suggests very slightly its
former use and provides n Of the largest
studios In the city living rooms for a family
Of FIVE and as many servants. a second apart
ment with a smaller studio which Ia rented,
several separate rooms and a garage on
the ground level
The church was originally built with q
hall on the first floor and the level Of the
church about ten fest higher. This hall
was taken as the main or studio floor and
the room runs to o height Of moro than
thirty feet. II IL forty feet square. Over
1t and on the remaining space on the same
floor are the living rooms.
The apartment which Ia rented Ia q door
higher UP and was built because It was
found best for the looks Of the house to
square up the corners until they were on q
level with the central point Of what had
been the pointed facade.
This successful attempt to construct
something which should be out Of the ordi-
nary has one great advantage. There 10

formed church as there is to be found In

Tucked away on the East Side a few
blocks south Of the cars crossing town at
Ffty-ninth street are three red brick cot
tages that carry the observer back to an
earlier New York civilization. The agent
who rents them thought they were built In
1910. At all events they represented when
built a daring enterprise in real estate
speculation.
They were situated far away from Bloom
ingdale. which was the direction in which
it was thought that future development
lay. and werepractically in the open country.
Nothing about their appearance seems
more noteworthy nowadays than the ex-
cellent condition in which they have been
kept. Each is two stories and q half high
and each is supplied with a high porch and
a fight Of broad wooden stairs by which
it can be reached.
The dining room is on the level Of the
small plot Of grass that constitutes q front
yard. This style Of house was very popular

tury and is said to have been copied here
from Dutch models. At all events this
same style Of house is to be found all through
the State. 1t survives naturally in very
few houses in the city to-day.
The cottages are never vacant. Nor
are the tenants persons attracted by the
unusual qualities Of the dwellings. They
live in them not because they are interest
ing and unusual enthusiastically but because
they like their roominess and comfort.
