There Is no section in OF around
Richmond that Is making more rapid
progress in the way Of home building
than In this beautiful Northside. which
includes Barton Heights. North Rich
mond, Roland Park. Ginter Park. La

tically every street and avenue out
there you can see new houses spring

the old colonial brick mantels, sun
