COLUMBIA HEIGHTS
AND MT. PLEASANT
BUILDING ACTIVE
Unimproved Tracts Rapidly
Being Taken for City
Dwellings.

Building in Columbia Heights and Mt.
Pleasant continues unabated. Builders
are fast using all the remaining avail
able unimproved property for the con-
struction of homes Fast as has been
the development of the outlying sections
OF the city The building up Of the inter-
mediate sections is not tagging behind
AT the northeast corner of Columbia
road and Thirteenth street a row of ten
houses has been completed and there is
ihuch building in progress in the vicin-
i'y' Ihis row was built by L. e. Breun-
niger one of the largest operators In
|oluInpla Heights. The houses are two
stories In height, but contain eight
rooms each, type not common in re-
cent building. Four rooms are ar
ranged on each floor. Half of this row
already has been sold.
Ihe demand for houses in this section
Is also illustrated by the sale of eight
seVen-room houses recently finished by
Carr II. Smith, at Thirteenth street and
Park road, and the beginning of con-
struction of six more by the Same
builder. Mr.. Smith is building these ad-
ditional six houses on the north side
| of Park road just east OF Thirteenth
| street. There also is considerable other
building in this vicinity.
In Mt. Pleasant the invasion of the
| old detached frame dwelling section
continues. Wherever builders have been
able to obtain a fifty or sixty-foot lot,
the site of one of the old suburban
| houses, they have used 1t to build two
or three modern city houses, thus max
ing two or three families grow where
one grew before. While the result has
been an economical use of space it has
| not entirely sacrificed the elements OF
| beauty, light, and ventilation.
This tendency is illustrated in the
| completion of three three-story tapes
| try brick houses, built by John Miller
| and Richard E. Cozzens, on the west
| side OF Mt. Pleasant street, just north
| of Park road. The houses are of at
! tractive appearance, contain nine rooms
| and two baths and, while built as a unit
| are SO arranged as not to make the
| impression Of the house in a row. This
result is obtained by placing two houses
of the same style at each side, with re-
vCrsed interior plans and a house of odd
| design in the center
| The contrast of the city house with
| the suburban type is highly accentuat-
| ed in the case of these three houses, for
the surrounding homes are of the de-
tached type with ample lawns and yards
about them.
