HOW TO SELECT
SUBURBAN HOME
There Are Many Essential
Things to Remember, Says
Specialist.
By FRANK CROWELL.

In the seeking OF suburban locations
for homes the most essential things TO
keep in ones mind are: Distance from
business centres, recreation, closeneSs
to station, sociability, shopping centre
and the durability OF the structure,
either purchased ready built or erected
from plans to suit ones conditions.
These suburban homes of right de
sign and construction and in right en-
vironment provide ideal living, and
such community centres as Great Neck,
Long Island, are possessed of all nee
sary facilities demanded by commuters.
Great Neck Is only twenty-siX min
utes by express from the Pennsylvania
Station, thirty-fve minutes by motor.
This community formerly comprised
nothing but the large estates Of the
wealthy families of New York, but has
in later years developed certain sec
tons so as 10 offer half-acre estates
which have the same privileges as the
owners Of the large adjacent estates Of
the very rich.
Recreation features OF Great Neck
consist Of golf, tennis and polo, and
excellent water facilities are offered
for bathing. boating. etc.
In this community one can purchase
q nice plot Of l00xl00 feet or more in
a desirable, restricted nelghhOrhOod,
and build n house in keeping with the
ideals one has in mind we will say, at
n total cost Of house and ground Of
$4,000. Many styles of houses can
be bought for this amount, and the
question is: How large can il be, and
what construction should be used
The answer is: A house OF distinct
i've architecture and individuality, in
keeping with the surroundings and
with neighboring houses, ten rooms
and three baths. with modern improve
ments, OF hollow tile and stucco which
construction is the building material
Of to-day. Hollow tile IS the scientific
adaptation of concrete TO house build
ing, and the great advances that have
been made in hollow tile construction
are perhaps not generally known. Wood
is expensive; itS scarcity makes it,
cost almost prohibitive.
