be impossible, but a good illustration
of the extent of building activity now
permeating the city is furnished by
Evergreen Place, noted for its beauti-
ful homes. Three or four years zago
this addition was overgroWn with sage
brush and mesquite. Today it is COW
cred with handsome residences, nearly
all built on the mission style of archi-
lecture but no two alike.
In Evergreen addition. $4,000 worth
of homes are now in course of con-
struction. This sounds incredible but
can be proven by Greene & Griffin,
who placed Evergreen on the market
and still control it to a large extent
Many of the homes are being con-
structed by the Home Builders but
the majority are being erected by the
individuals themselves.
Following is a list of residences
now being constructed in Evergreen:
Vernon Cook, $500; Mrs. Gooch,
$4,000: Mrs Kate Kirkland, $4,000; C.
]. McElroy, $4,000; F. L. Burgett, 3d.
600; Mrs. Agnes Murphy, $4,000; Clay
Parker and Harry Van Allen, $4,000;
Miss Ursula DeMund. $4,000; Fred
Shedd, $4,000; Harry L. Shedd, $500;
Fen S. Hildreth, $500; c. NJ. Scott,
$4,000; Miss EudOra Vestal, $4,000.
This list is only partial. The fin
ishing touches are being placed upon
half a dozen more that are not in
Guided.
The next few days will see even
greater activity in Evergreen. Plans
have been drawn for residence for
l. F. Wolpe, which will be as handsome
as any in the city 1t will also be on
the mission order and will cost more
than $4,000. The location chosen by
Mr. Wolpe is on Central avenue, be-
tween Willamette street and the Nc
DoweH road. just north of Will CAL
lahan's.
Plans have been drawn for a $4,000
residence for Bridget O'Connor. j. f.
Griffin viii shortly begin the erection
of a $4,000 home. Next week Frank
r. Stewart of the Southwestern
Underwriters will let the contract for
a $4,000 residence. H. ]. McClung,
w. S. Goldsworthy, and r. B. Berry
hill have purchased lots with the in
tention of building within a short
time.
II will be noted that none of the
houses mentioned above are to cost
less than $4,000. They are to be beau
tiful inside as well as out. In fact,
there is nothing cheap about the in
terror of any of the Evergreen homes
and some that one would judge, from
outward appearances, to have cost
much less than the actual outlay, are
fitted up in way that a king might
envy. Substantially, comfort and
beauty have been the aim of the
builders.
At the present time cement cutters
are being laid in the streets of Ever
green. Most of the streets are lined
with cement walks but more walk is
being laid. All the residences that
have been built for any length Of
time have beautiful lawns.
Los Olives place, just north of
Evergreen, is outside the city. Here
there is a building restriction of S4,-
500. Several homes are now being
erected in this subdivision while sew
eral more are planned. z. E. Kirk
land is building a handsome home in
Los Olives. Charles Riegel, c. B.
Laird and several others are also hav-
ing residences constructed on Los Oil
vos acres.
The architects all report that they
have plenty of work to keep them
busy. Three of the largest houses for
which Royal w. Lescher has recently
drawn plans are now in course of

And so it goes all over the city.
Everywhere one goes he sees fine,
handsome homes arising. Phoenix is,
indeed, a city of homes-a city of
beautiful and costly homes.
Not all the building activity, how
yer, is confined to residences. Work
s now going forward on more than a
lozen business properties, while ar
are practically complete
