MUCH BUILDING
TO Be DONE HERE
New Residences Will Be
Built Along Novel
Lines.

Building construction will be coll
siderable in the neighborhood OF FAR
mont this spring, despite tho fact
that the prices OF all material have
advanced tremendously. But the out
look for lowered prices in the next
few years seems to be very poor, SO
for this reason more construction in
local circles is being planned than
ever before.
Some attractive innovations in the
style of architecture and manner OF
construction will be seen this year,
In the new homes that are being built.
One of the most striking of these is
the now home of John Gordon Smyth,
which is being constructed on the
country club road near the residence
LOT w. D. Stockley. The local archi-
tects, Jones and Nuzum, are working
on this contract, which is now nearly
finished. The house Is of tho rural
English type OF cottage that Is fast
becoming the most popular in West
Virginia. A feature OF this particular
cottage will be the thatched appear
ance of the roof. The edges OF the
roof will be furred and around this
will be nailed the dark red shingles
which,b by contrast with the white walls
Of the building, will have a pleasing eff
feet to the eye.
This industrious firm of young archt-
tects are also designing new home
for Kemble White, which will be built
near the corner OF Fifth street and
Benoni avenue. Construction Of this
residence has not yet startea, but It
will be OF new and original design
that when completed, will make one
OF the attractive homes on that street.
