It might be said that when the visitor steps otf of the incoming train and his vision is greeted with we'll designed rail- way station, and passing theref-om he sees wide, well paved streets, trontcd with substantial buildings of good de, sign. the impression he gets is carried with him for a long time and is rare- ly eradicated even though his subse- quent views of the city be less pleas ing.
 Birmingham is rather fortunate in this respect" he continued. That Is. it has the opportunity to provide an attractive and fitting entrance to the city, for the railway terminal station is one of the best in the south. This handsome building was designed by Mr. Thornton Marye of Washington, and its mass is particularly pleasing and fittingly dominates the vista from many important viewpoints in the city The location of this building is also unusually fortunate, being at a very convenient distance from the center of the city. and on the, center line Of a wide avenue that is probably des- tined to become the main thorough fare between the center of the city and its eastern and western con- fines Besides. located on this street are the Tutwiler hotel. Motion hotel The Herald building.

 While the greater DO, fion of the business buildings are relics of the early days and lack much evidence of good design and character. within re- cent years modern buildings of ths skyscraper type and some few large mercantile buildings have been erect ed in such number as to give the city a distinctive character" MT. Kessler observed. "In passing. however, would call attention to the recently erected buildings on Second avenue between Nineteenth and Twentieth streets. While most of these buildings are rather small still they have a decided influence on the appearance of this important street as B wholn and as they are so widely divergent in style height of cornice. material of con struction and color. this street

 'It is not possible to mention the many other successful! homes in Birmingham, designed by Birmingham architects" MT. Hessler said. but it is well to note that those mentioned cover wide range of territory from the western suburb at Greens Station, and Old Elyton, to Idle wild, the South Highlands, and up to the top of Red mountain. Besides there are quite a number of successful homes of recent completion in Norwood Noun tain Terrace and Glenwood, IS well as Milner Heights.

" tivities at present In the
 matter of building and land- [sSf34 scaping. it is interesting to
 know that MT William IL kessler. one of the most successful and artistic landscape architects in the south, sees ahead marked possibilities for the future Identification of the city.
 MT. Kessler's work is too well known to need comment here He has proven in the vast and varied work that he has done in Birmingham. designing some of the handsomest landscapes in and about the city. and in fact in city and country homes all over the state, that he is an artist in his chosen pro fession.
 MT. Kessler combines a splendid Knowledge of landscaping with a Knowledge of architecture thus mak- ing him especially expert in the hand ling of house and grounds, and with a city developing and growing as fast as Birmin gham is. his work stands out as successful in everything he has been connected with
 His association with many public en- 
 nurseries and the attention he has given to the arrangement and develop ment of this industry, one of the larg- est in Birmingham his especial inter- est in the promotion of a flower show for Birmingham which he has always advocated. believing that it would mean a great deal for this city, anl numberless other things of a public nature that he is identified with. gives him prestige in his profession and h1s word concerning anything relative to landscape architecture is unquestioned
 Among the especially beautiful and artistic things that Mr. Kessler has done may be mentioned the landscaping of the grounds of MT. Frank Nelson. Us place. which is one oc the show places of Birmingham; the grounds of the Lee c. Bradley home at Idlewilc; the artistic "forecourt'' of the Dian Apartments"
 The handsome effect of the grounes of Mrs. David Roberts beautiful home is due to MT Kesslers taste and the landscapihg of the new home of Ms. D. w. Caldwell and MT. and Frs Frank A. Grider on the mountain top; also the grounds about the home of Mr Ar thur w. Smiths place in Jasper Road: also of the M. F. Smith place in Jas per Road are designed by Mir. Kess- Ter. as well as many other Squally beautiful places.
 In speaking a few days ago of Bil minghams architectural appce rance and its natural geographical baauties which lend themselves so admirably to artistic landscaping, Mir Kessler said.
 The viewpoint of the resident of the city, who has long been Familiar with its buildings and streets is very diff ferent from that of the casual ob-

Hanover Court, de- signed by the Joy Marriott company, is also very attractive building, ard though, supplied with only very small planting area. this has been utilized to good advantage with attractively arranged evergreen shrub base plant ing"
 Probably no one thing gives the city character individuality or distinctiveness, more than it's homes and home grounds; that is, as a general consideration" MT. Hessler observed. This is true of Bir- mingham, even though it first reached fame as city of mines and furnaces, but it is quite noticeable that visitors Who come to the city with the impress sion that they. will see smoky, noisy, crudely developed mining and iron mak- ing town go away with an entirely diff ferent impression, and when asked for their opinion of the city nearly always remark on the beauty of the residential districts. It is generally the fact that American cities which have sprung into being as rapidly as Birmingham have been as a rule crude, gawky, awkward helter- r-skelter places. showing very plain. " on the face of things that they were put together hurriedly to take care of rush growth-but Birmingham does not partake of this character on the whole, and if such conditions prevailed in the early days they have certainly rapidly been done away with by later high class developments. and now hardly vestige remains that would tend to create an im- pression of crudeness in home buildings and grounds. As matter of fact. in my opinion, Birmingham has more taste fully arranged home grounds than any other city of the south, and the homes as general thing show evidence of good architectural design. True, the homo grounds here are almost universally of very small area, yet full advantage has been taken of opportunities of topography. soil and climate and nearly all of the home grounds in the sections of moderate cost homes as well as the more costly homes have their well kept greenswards and compliment of trees shrubs and vines for permanent effect and the more tran sient embellishments of porch and win dow boxes and summer Towering plants It is quite remarkable to me how well the small places look. as outside of as many places as may be totaled on the fingers of the hands the lots are with 50 to 100 feet frontage.
 Among the more notable homes and home grounds of Birmingham few have attracted my attention as being ex- ceptionally noteworthy, Mir. Hessler said. That of MT. Frank Nelson Jr., is quite attractive, Here well placed house of stone and brick. overIooks a comprehen- give view of the city. and large open

 The many convincing testimonials con- etantly published in the newspapers ought to be proof enough to women who suffer from those distressing ills pecu- liar to their sex that Lydia E. Pinkham's s Vegetable Compound is the medicine they need.

Owners and architects should have more con sideration for the streets best appear ance than is shown in this instance. To my mind the Empire building, de- signed by Carpenter 6 Blair anu War ren & Welton. associate. architects is the most interesting office buil9ing In the city. Its exterior has enough good ornament and color to make it sparkle and stand out from among the more rigid. cold or austere buildings gen.. erally found in the skyscraping class The lobby of this building is especially rich and interesting in its color scheme and materials.

Particular attention is called to the good color and tex ture of the terra cotta. the handsome columns at the base. the bronze bank doors. bronze lanterns. elevator cars and grills.
