ATTRACTIVE VIR GINA SUBURB
IS BUILT ON STEEP HILLSIDE
Community Known as Braddock, About Midway
Between This City and Alexandria, One of the Most
Picturesque Spots Adjacent to National Capital.

suited in the most charming feature of
the suburb
The western portion of the suburb oc-
cupies the top of a high ridge formerly
known as Braddock Heights. The COM
munity is generally known now by the
name of Braddock. however. 1t takes Its
name from the fact that the old Erad-
dock road passes through the property.
1t was along this road that Gen. Brad
dock and his troops marched on their
way to Fort Duquesne in prerevolution-
AIRY days. During the time Alexandria
was Gen. Rraddock's headquarters he
made his home in the Carlisle House,
one of the historic points of interest in
the Virginia city.
The first homes in Braddock were built
about fifteen years ago. The property
never was handled as a suburban real
estate development. the builders Of the
homes located there being attracted to
the spot by the high elevation and beau
utul view down the Potomac.
The types of homes in the suburb vary
so that no two are alike There are to
be found among them the big rambling
homes of few years ago and the
typical suburban residences of today.
Practically every home is surrounded
by ample grounds, which are principally
devoted to terraces. Because of the I'M
evenness of the ground there are no
large lawns in the community The
property is sufficiently wooded to pro-
vide shade trees for almost every home.

BY ]. CROSBY MCCARTHY.

Slightly more than midway between
this CITY and Alexandria, Va, IS located
the suburb of Braddock. one Of the most
picturesque of the many fine residential
communities surrounding the Nationa!
CAPITAL. 1t is built on the side of hill
like the vineyards Of Europe. and prac-
tically every home in the suburb COM
mands a view far down the Potomac.
Largely because of the unevenness OF
the ground Braddock has developed into
a community that is artistic in every re-
spect The steepness of the slope on
which the suburb has been built has made
the laying off of roads at right angles
impossible. In their stead are winding
roadways that extend diagonally through
the tract and thereby lessen the grade.
Braddock is not a large community, but
the homes located there compare favor
ably with those in any other suburb ad-
jacent to Washington The laying off of
short streets parallel to the line of the
hill on which Braddock is located re-
suited in the formation of a terraced
suburb. This arrangement provided home
sites that were susceptible of artistic de-
velopment and in practically every case
their owners have taken advantage of
this condition in a manner that has re-

The method of preparing estimates Of
cost in connection with building con-
struction in Australia differs radically
from that which is used in the United
States. In Australia the practice Of
architects is to have the lists of quanti
ties involved prepared by what are there
known as Quantity surveyors" These
