Houses Give Way
To March of Trade

When terrace can be cut down so
that the basement OF a residence may
be remodeled into store it is worth
while to consider the advisability of
transforming the house into business
property for investment purposes.
In the case of two residences on Con-
recticut avenue, 1925 and 1927, now being
converted into business properties, the
terrace, which, formerly screened the
easements, has proved a considerable
factor. By removing it, the owner has
practically been enabled to add an
additional story to the houses.
The houses in question make a total
of five residences on this block of Con-
necticut avenue to be remodeled into
business properties. According to plans
announced by Stone & Fairfax with re-
spect to 1925 and 1927, the first, or,
basement floor will be used for store
purposes. while the second, third, and
fourth floors will be used as office suites
and flats. The owner will expend prac-
tically 5000 in remodeling.- and. it is
expected that the work will be finished
by March IS.
The houses are of brown stone con-
struction, and at the time of being
erected, were located in an exclusive
residential section.
