new CLUBHOUSES
TO BEAUTIFY CITY
Will Compare with Finest
Clubs in Country.

Washington will shortly boast of two
houses, in the new homes of the
Army and Navy and the University
clubs. The first is nearing completion at
the northeast corner of Connecticut ave-
nue. and 1 street northwest, while con-
struction work will soon begin on the
University clubhouse at the intersection
OF Fifteenth and 1 streets. Both will
compare favorably with the finest club
houses of other cities and will also con-
stitute a valuable adjunct to the struc-
tural attractiveness of the city.
The new Army and Navy clubhouse
stands on the northeast corner Of Con-
necticut avenue and 1 street, directly
across the street from the old brown
stone building which was formerly its
home. The new clubhouse rears itself
high above the surrounding houses and
overlooks one of the most fashionable
and exclusive sections Of the National
Capital.
The old clubhouse has been sold, and
according to reports, will soon be con-
verified into modern apartment building,
with stores on the ground floor and bach
elor apartments above.
The new home of the University Club,
which now occupies the building at Six
teenth and K streets northwest, has not
yet been started. Construction work will
PROBABLY begin within few months and
when finished the building will be in
stalled with the most modern fixtures.
The building will also be surmounted by
roof garden, which will be a feature
OF the clubhouse during the summer
months
