Perhaps it would be more correct to say
that building has gone from 14th street
to Georgia avenue, for that is what has
happened Since, however, there has
heen a through car service on what was
known as the Brightwood line the build

Perhaps, however, this was merely CO.

Houses in Petworth.

Cahill has for sale number of recently
finished homes.
At the southeast corner of Rock Creek
Church road and Georgia avenue compris-
ing what was formerly known as the
Cammack property is the scene of the
largest building operation now in prog
ress. 1t is being carried on by the Ken
nedy Bros, and thus far the entire front
age along Rock Creek Church road from
Georgia avenue to Warder street which
is the next street parallel to Georgia ave-
hue on the east has been built UP and
the new work has already turned to the
south on Warder street
One end of this of three-story
houses has been completely finished
while at the other houses are in various
stages, SO that while people are living in
some of the houses and otners are just
moving in thir household chattels, farther
along men are at work putting down the
concrete sidewalks and sodding the park
ings, and then still in the same block the
inside trimming or finishing is being done
and then there is the further stage of
houses with brick walls only partially
completed. 1t is a busting scene and
suggests the descriptions of life in the
early settlements of the west.
But further along are to be found other
houses in rows which are being offered
for sale by Moore & Hill so that it is
understood that what is going on cur
rently along Rock Creek Church road is
not In Its pioneer stage. But this point is
not the IarIneSt north or the city S prog
ress and advancement along the thor

quickly realized as one goes on and
notes what is being done and the new
houses that springng up with such
rapidity. At the northeast corner of
Georgia avenue and Quincy street, along
Randolph street in the vicinity of New
Hampshire avenue and on Sth street new
houses are to be found either completely
finished or in course of erection.
mr. of InIr

have built and are building houses, and
the extent of their operations may be
judged somewhat by the suggestion that
was made that the immediate vicinity

from the announcement displayed along

Building activity along Georgia avenue
has shifted it's center somewhat during
the past season, and instead Of being on
the brow of the hill, overlooking the
city, it has moved toward the north and
is found in the locality of the Rock Creek
Church road. For the past year or more
up to the beginning of the present build
ing season one of the largest building
operations in the city was carried out in
the former locality, resulting in wide
area being covered with houses extend
ing from Kenyon street almost as far
north as Morton street.
1t was not alone the house sites front
ing on the east side of Georgia avenue
that were built up, but also those on the
streets extending to the west, Keefer and
Lamont streets, SO that today there is
solid array of homes where a short time
previously there had been vacant grounds
and the groves and lawns of the old
Scheutzen Park. For the most part these
houses were built by Harry Wardman,
and now for the most part they are oc-
cupied by the people who own them.
Here and there is to be found section
of three or four houses that have JUS
been completed, or are in course of COM
pletion, displaying the sign of Shannon &

There are also some houses in course of
construction at the southwest corner of
Georgia avenue and Columbia road which
are under the management of Willett &

New Hampshire avenue meets these two
streets at this point, and the movement
may be traced along that thoroughfare
from Park road to Georgia avenue. There
are also new streets opened up to the

lots along those streets have also been
improved. Alexander Millar has built

of s to 4, the winning tallies being the
result of weird fielding on the part of

Levy was on the mound for the locals,

WOMAN DANCES OFF

Drags Husband With Her, but
Both Are Rescued

Tripping the light fantastic on the
Fort Point seawali in an effort to re-
produce a set of new dance steps, Mrs.
l.. Eddy of 1917 Fillmore street last
night lost her footing and plunged six
feet to the bay below, dragging her
husband with her
Eddy is a powerful swimmer and he
gave immediate aid to his wife, holding
her UP until assistance arrived. The
first to reach the scene was Arthur
Rankin, son of the lighthouse keeper,
who with the aid of a rope, effected
the rescue. Meanwhile the alarm had
carried to the life saving station and
boats were launched, manned with
sturdy life savers, who pulled for the
scene of the n1ishap.
The water is not very deep where
the accident occurred, but the proxim-
ity of the seawall caused both parties
to suffer from the buffeting of the big
waves. Mrs. Eddy suffered few light
bruises and a sprained ankle. She was
taken to the home of Rankin, where
the effects of the immersion were
speedily overcome.
Mrs. Eddy had been stepping off a
dance figure, when her ankle turned.
and in her attempt to regain her bal
ance she nnIled her husband in also.
