NEW AREA CHOSEN
FOR HOUSES IN ROWS
Harry Wardman to Develop
Tract of Land in Chevy
Chase Terrace.

The undivided portion Of Chevy Chase
Terrace between Kanawha and Jenifer
streets. and fronting on Connecticut ave-
nue., has been purchased by Harry Ward
man. The area Is about three acres 1t
is understood to be the intention Of the
new owner to open an east and west
street through the property. and then
improve the whole by the erection of
houses in rows
If this be done It Will mark the farthest
advance in this direction from tho center
OF the city OF houses in rows. Some dis
lance to the south. and just of Connecti-
cut avenue. on Quincy street, q row Of
semi-detached houses was built some
years ago, but with this exception the
entire section north Of Cleveland Park
has been built up in the suburban man
ner with detached houses.
The Wardman building operation will
mark a change Of considerable sig
nidcance in the character Of this locality,
and 1t indicates the advance In the
growth Of the population. The new
region OF houses in rows will be consider
ably north Of the farthest point thus far
attained on 14th street by building Of
this character as there are no rows Of
houses in the 14th street locality north
of Decatur street.

Trend Of Recent Changes.

The comparatively recent changes on
G street, along 9th street from Pennsyl-
vania avenue to G street, and on 18th
street north OF G street, and the crea-
ton Of an entirely new section at 10Th
and II streets might be mentioned as
some Of the later phases Of the rapidity
Of the expansion and of the character Of
the improvements necessary to meet the
requirements OF the business OF the city
During the past season the speculative
movement in property along Connecticut
avenue and in the vicinity of 18th and
l streets has attracted attention, both on
account of the prices paid and also be-
cause they gave the first notice to the
general public Of the new use of what
had always been regarded as residence
sections.
1t is noted in the volume Of business In
this class Of property during the past
season that investors have strong conf
dence In the future Of the city. and such
an estimate, 1t is found is held In many
cases by those who have only q recent
acquaintance with conditions here. There
has never been period, perhaps. when
money from the outside has been more
largely invested in Washington city prop
erty than at the present time.

vestors to the city to see the situation
and to conclude there are possibilities
