age builder devotes most of his time and
energy. This is especially true of the
H. r. HOwenstein Company Inc) of 1914
F street northwest. Mr.. HoNenstein has
been Interested in real estate in Wash
ington for about eleven years. and during
the last five years of this time he mas
been engaged as an operative builder.
During this latter period his company has
been interested almost wholly in home
building in Northeast and Southeast
Washington.
1t has been the object of the Howen-
stein Company to produce homes which
could be sold to persons of comparatively
modest Inconsistencies which could be
placed upon the market at prices rang
ing from $1,000 to 5000. During the
year 1910 ninety-two such houses were
built in Northeast Washington, and all
of them have been sold.
The 1910 houses of the HOwenStein Com
pany were built usually after the colonial
type of architecture, with pressed brick
and burnt brick fronts. Beginning with the
first weeks of the present year this COM
pany has placed more new houses on the
market, and a different design has been
adopted for them. These new houses have
mansard roofs and the first of the type
completed are located on Sth and 18th
streets northeast There are three houses
on Sth street above = street and three on
18th street between D and + streets. Three
more are under construction in the 1900
block on A street northeast, and still an
other series of three houses is being
built i'll the 900 block on Maryland avenue
northeast
All of these Howenstein houses are of
the six and eight room type, and all are
finished in hardwood throughout. Hot
water heating plants are placed in all of
the houses, and nearly all of them have
been built on deep lots, so that home
gardening may be one of the attractions
omen to the new owners. In addition to
houses of their own building, the HoWen-
stein Company has just taken the con-
tract to sell twelve new houses on Park
road northwest. from 721 to TAB, inclusive,
recently built by Charles ]. Walker of the
Walker Brick Company These houses
were completed about three months ago.
and three of them already have been sold.
Each house contains seven rooms and
bath and all modern improvements.

Operative builders probably have had
more to do with the development Of
Washington along up-to-date lines than
have any other one class of men VINO
have been interested in realty in the Ma
tional Capital. Operative building is one
of the improvements of the time-one of
the evoutions that have been brought
about by the desire of man to house him
self economically and we'll. Statistics
have been compiled to show that the op-
erative builder, who deals always in large
quantities in buying both his labor and
his materials can produce much better
house for much less money than can the
individual home builder in constructing a
single house for his own occupancy. And
the individual who seeks home which
will embody his own ideas of comfort and
convenience must indeed be hard to
please when he cannot select exactly
what he wants, both as to location and
as to construction, from the great variety
Of houses placed on the market by the
builders Of "ready-made'' homes.
To appreciate whence must have come

necessary only to make general survey
of the extent of the work Of the opera

thousands of dollars, where before. as
expressed in the valuations of unimproved
fields and lots, the assessments for the
same territory were very small indeed.

MANY NEW RESIDENCES
IN NORTHWEST SECTION
Handsome Homes Being Built
on Lots in Fashionable
Thoroughfares.

Many improvements are being made in
the northwest residence section of Wash
ington, and within the past year it may
safely be said that hundreds of thousands
of dollars have been added to the as
sessed valuation Of property in that part
of the city. This is particularly true of
the more fashionable thoroughfares, be-
cause many lots have been purchased as
residence sites and upon many of them
handsome new homes either lllNe been
built or are in course or construction. In
New Hampshire avenue alone four or five
palatial residences have been add I'd to
the already large list of handsome homes,
while other streets in the vicinity have
seen similar improvements
One of the most notable additions to be
made within the past few months to the
list of handsome homes in the Capital
city is the residence which IS now near
ing completion in Belmont street north

vicinity of Boundary Castle. the home of
