DR.. Loren johnson, who is remodeling
his newly acquired residence at los

to the splendid formal gardens that
are being arranged about the place.
DR.. johnson has purchased all the
property from the residence itself 10

frontage of 2i5 feet IN one of the most
valuable sections of the Avenue of the

Work on the house, which has been
so completely remodeled IS to be prac-
tically new. is almost completed, but
1t will reQuira many months TO carry
out the elaborate garden schemes de-
vised by George Burnap. the architect
for both the garden and the house.
The residence itself is of fine
grained pebble-dashed material that
will make a splendid contrast with the
quite spacious. having on the first floor
a large reception hall and cloak rooms
for both men and women. SO that 1t
is well adapted for entertaining pur-
poses. The dining room and drawing
room are on a mezzanine between the
first and second stories.
large logCia stretches across the
north side of the second floor. which
will afford beautiful view OF the gar
den. and this floor is completely oCcu-
MED with living rooms and halls. The
bed chambers and baths are on the
third floor.
The idea Of building the house and
garden at the same time and preserv-
ing unity about the entire premises,
rather than build the house and then
architects plan. and this idea will take
definite form within the next lew
months. The construction of the house
was the work of John II. Nolan.
