everything was pleasant for the first three
years. The fourth year all three Of the
vacant lots were sold on the one directly
south of his a confectionery store was
built up 10 his lot line. leaving but three
feet between his wall and the store on
that side On the north lot, which hap
pened to be the corner, flat building was
built, with the entrance to II on the long
side of the lot which put the back door
and the rear of the flat building abruptly
against the north side of his house. After
suffering the lack of light and air and
undergoing much mental torture for two
years he sold the house for a little over
one-h half of what the house and lot cost
him to the confectionery man.
Another example: A young woman pur-
chased two lots, each forty-one feet wide.
On one of these she intended to build a
bungalow and the other reserve for fu-
ture investment, either to sell or build
upon it for renting purposes. When her
bungalow was being planned the only style
of a bungalow which would satisfy her
was one with a very broad front similar
to another one she had seen. and which
could not possibly--be built to obtain the
desired effect less than thirty-eight feet
wide. Adding to this the wide projection
of the cornice, which goes with this style,
It can be seen that the cornice of the
bungalow would overlap the lot lines, The
bungalow in this instance has not been
built yet, but the lady will either have to
build a different style of bungalow, which
will probably mean permanent dissatisfao-
ton, or sacrifice the possibility OF a fu-
ture income from the adjoining lot, and
build the bungalow on the center of the
two lots. These lots were purchased by
her with no knowledge of their exact
width. She looked at them and to, her
they looked wide enough for most any
purpose 1t was not until after her plans
were shaped up that the extreme narrow
ness of the lots was discovered.
The natural conclusion in these examples
is that one should be very careful not TO
purchase a cheap lot, with the intention
of building q good sized house upon II;
second, not TO purchase a lot in a neigh
borhood having no restrictions, as to the
kind of buildings 10 be built in II, unless
the adjacent property is purchased. also. sc
that it's sale can be controlled: third, that
for any purpose 1t is not advisable to buy
lot less than fifty feet wide, the standard
size throughout the country. If people
only realised the pleasure OF building on q
lot having plenty Of breathing space around
1t with a chance for a little culture they
would never build on less than two lots

before building the house. II not possible

OMAHA is A PROGRESSIVE IF
NOT lNSURGENT BUILDER
Precedent and Traditions Are Being
CAST Aside I'm Many of the
New Homes.

In residence architecture Omaha may
well be ranked as progressive" If not
actually 'insurgent."
Precedents, tradition and established Gus
toms are rapidly giving place to originality
and independence in the architectural
treatment OF modern residences.
This tendency is most frequently OBJ
served in brick construction; presumably
because of the scope afforded by the pres
ent available variety Of artistic face brick
with which the architect may work out
his ideals
Numerous examples OF architectural In
suTgeney" are in evidence in the residence
districts Of Omaha. One which has at
tracted particular attention IL the new
home for F. J. Fitzgerald at Thirty eighth
and Douglas streets. In this building Ar
chitect Henninger and Contractor He'd,
ding have used Persian rough face brick
OF rough surface. vitrified quality, and In
color dark brown. hghtened with a faint
distribution OF deep red. Under a green
tile roof and IN marked contrast with white
stone trim, the rich. soft eolors OF the
brick walls make a pleasing picture.
A popularity OF the brick used In the
Fitzgerald house is that they are twice
the usual length OF brick. They are laid
In very wide. raked-out mortar Joints.
The whole treatment has been such as 70
give the appearance OF breadth and great
sohdity TO the structure.

the rising moon in the evening, at which
time las we all know, 1t is the most pop
ular place for the younger members of the
household.
In such location the principal rooms
downstairs can all be placed where they
receive plenty of sunlight view and the
southern breezes in the evening. The
kitchen should always be placed, when
possible. on the northwest corner, The
kitchen is always warm enough in the
winter, but when placed where the sun
glares into it in the summer, doubling the
intensity of the heat, made still more in
tense by the humidity arising from cook
Ing, 1t becomes almost unbearable and re-
suits in headaches and general dissais-
faction and also when the kitchen is on the
south the odors are carried through the
house by the summer breezes when the
windows are open
The second choice 10 the corner having
the front street on the west, with the side
street on the south. The third is with
the front on the east, with the side street
on the north.
While II IL not necessary that a lot
should be level, many picturesque effects
sometimes being obtained on hilltop or
hillside lots when the house is appropri-
ately designed for II, care should be taken
that the lot is not so extremely irregular
in it's grade that It would either require
much filling and retaining walls, or a
freakish-looldng house to fit it Never
purchase lot on low ground or on filled
ground. The house will always settle. and
a dry cellar under such conditions Is al
most impossible
In conclusion, take this word Of warn
ing. Gambling on future possibilities when
buying lot usually results in disappoint-
ment. To be on the safe side. buy a good
sized lot in a desirable neighborhood, where
your children will have the proper ASSOC
ciates and remember that II never pays to
build a good house on a cheap lot.
