Great activity is shown in the improv-
ing Of Chillum Castle Heights. The con-
tractors have been working, paving and
grading the streets. The typographical
condition of this land is such that very
little grading is necessary. 1t presents
natural interesting, rolling surface,
and the owners have decided to have the
streets conform to this natural forma-
ton. Many interesting bungalow sites and
advantageous places for residences are
thus produced. The streets have been
arranged to permit all the trees to re-
main, enhancing the natural decorative
value of the property.
The car line beginning at Fourteenth
and Kennedy, running east to Third.
then continuing through Third to Ia

ton by or before August & Four or
five recent purchasers have expressed q
desire to begin the erection of their
homes at the earliest possible moment
and several prominent Washington build
ing companies are now negotiating with
the syndicate for the privilege of erect
ing detached homes.
An Old Homestead.
The tract of land known as Chillum
Castle Heights was formerly in the pos
session of the O'Hare family. they hav-
ing occupied it as a homestead for over
fifty years. All the available property
surrounding this land has been built up.
and had 1t not been that the above
named family were reluctant to destroy
the homestead. this property unquestion-
ably would have by now been built over
completely.
Shepherd road, the continuance Of the
permanent speedway of Washington and
the link in the chain of parks, directly
connected with the Rock Creek Park,
bounds this property on the south. The
east side of the property is bounded by
Blair road, a beautiful oiled macadam
drive. The view from this property Is
superb, the high altitude affording vista
into the valley overlooking Hyattsvtlle.
On the east, looking to the west. one can
gaze down upon the roofs of the houses
in upper Sixteenth street. The Soldiers
Home Is directly to the south, and on
the north side is Rittenhouse street, with
substantial dwellings and apartments.
