stowal of degrees. and the award Of

lowing young men received scholar

LUCKY BALWDIN RANCH
BOUGHT BY BUILDING CO.
Property Taken for $150,000.
Total of 220 Lots for
New Homes

The Investment Building company,
with offices i'm the w. z. Story build
ing, have perfected plans and speciti-
cations for the building of $50 artistic
five-room bungalows, which they will
build on Fifty-seventh street, on both
sides of the street, between Main
street and South Park avenue, being
the Lucky Baldwin tract, acquired for
S150.0OO.
They have spent considerable time
and labor in perfecting a bungalow
plan that will be among the best
bungalows that can be purchased in
the city at the price. They will be of
artistic design, every exterior different,
and will have living and dining room
with beamed ceilings, open fireplace
and mantel, built-in bookcases and
buffet. There will be two bedrooms
with communicating bathroom, with
modern plumbing, having bathtub'
wash basin and toilet. Largo closets.
Woodwork in the bedrooms and bath
finished in white enamel. The Kitchen
will contain a boiler closet, dish cab
met and cooling closet and sink. On
the screen porch there will be laun-
dry tray. The front porch and foun-
dation will be of concrete. The house
inside will be plastered and tinted:
Every house will be placed thirty
feet back from the front of the lot and
there will be a space of fifteen feet
between each house. Front yards Will
be planted to lawns and shade trees
set out. The streets are graded, side
walk and curbings are in. and 1t is
one of the few districts in the city
where the sewers arc laid and gas and
electricity ready for use.
The reputation that this company
has for building homes will be sus-
tanned in this tract, as they aim TO
only build first-elass bungalows.
The accessibility of this tract VIII
undoubtedly add to its popularity. for
il is within few blocks Of South
park and within easy reach of three
of the yellow car lines, the san Pedro
street line going directly past the
tract Office which is located at Fifty
seventh street and South Park avenue,
and is only twenty minutes ride from
the business center Of the city.
The actual construction of twenty
of these bungalows will be commenced
at the early part of the coming week
and the work will be pushed through
until the entire street is built up,
and when completed Fifty-seVenth
street will present very attractive
appearance.
The price Of house and lot viii be
S270O and will be sold on terms OF
500 cash and S25 a month.
