erection of a house for Capt. Richard I.
Mulligan, L. S. N. at the northwest
corner of 18th and r streets northwest.

bathrooms on each Of the two upper
floors, with morning room on the third
and a sewing room the fourth floor.

Mrs. Pullman's New Home.
A notable residence, both on account Of
its size and the character of its construc-
ton, is the one that is now nearing COM
pletion on the east side of 18th street be-
tween l. and NJ streets northwest for Mrs.
George NJ. Pullman. 1t is five stories in
height with broad frontage and lawn
spaces each side and having depth
of about one hundred feet.
The architect Nathan Wyeth, in work
ing out the design, which shows the in
Auence of French domestic architecture of
the renaissance period. has used stone ex-
ciusively in the exterior walls and of a
light shade which is found to be so well
adapted to this climate.
The interior arrangement Is in keeping
with the exterior proportions, which COM
bine dignity with grace and harmony,
both in the form and In the color scheme
There is enough carving to relieve what
might otherwise prove to have rather @
heavy effect. but ornamentation Is not
carried 10 extreme ostentation. There is
basement story where the heating plant is
located as well the machinery for the
center of the building opening into a large
and lofty hall with columns of marble on

Business Property Transferred
During the past week two deeds were
placed on record transferring property
on street One of the pieces was what
is known as the Federal building, at the
southeast corner of 7th and streets
northwest. Albert a. Brager OF Balti-
more. who arranged some time ago,
through Story & Cobb real estate brok-
ers, to purchase the property, took title
IL is stated that the purpose of this
purchase on the part of MIR. Brager is
TO secure an investment for his money.
The other piece of + street property
that figured in the transfer record was
the office building 1419 f street. known
as the Glover building. In pursuance Of
negotiations which were concluded some
time ago by the York Business and Real
Estate Brokers and the j. j. hampton
Company, this property was purchased
by Jacob NJ Stein an investment.
The hotel building planned to be erected
at the northeast corner OF pennsylvania
avenue and 18th street northwest, was
originally intended to he six stories in
height. In further consideration OF the
matter Mr.. Lewis and those who are in
ferested with him in the enterprise reach
Cd the conclusion that a structure Of
the height allowed by law ought 10 be
placed on that Site 1t then became nee
essary to re-nnance the undertaking and
this has delayed the actual beginning of
the building. 1t Is. the belief Of Mr. Lewis
these preliminaries will be adjusted
in the near future.
Progress is also reported in respect 20
