Atrocities of PostVictoran Period Especially Hard

OF our early American architecture he

All the beauty OF Mount Vernon, for
example, Is Incorporated In the remod-
elled house Of Theodore Boettger at

of Washington's old home. which will
ever stand as one Of the sweetest types
of American architecture, Is wrought
into this charming structure. n has the
same imposing aspect, suggested largely
by the two story veranda upheld by six
massive Colonial columns and the typical
railing to finish the roof. Both in mass
and line the house is illustrative of the
noble plan after which the best of the
early examples OF American homes were
built It was nobly conceived and ad-
mirably executed. and when one consid-
ers the original model. representative of
the worst type of post Victorian archi-
lecture. the designers triumph Ia seen

however. which would AFFECT this short
age. namely. the fact that a certain
number OF houses were destroyed during
this period.
e.S31 Apartments Destroyed.
I'VE know that In March. 1917. there
were s72.sl0 apartments In the city. and
between March. 1917, and March, 1919,
16,sT apartments were built. This
would have made a total In March, 1919
of e8s.757 apartments. but in reality
there were only s82.s26 apartments In
the city. This means that e.ss1 apart
! ments had been destroyed In some way.
To get the real need we must therefore.
take the shortage of 1894 and add to
IL 6.SS1 which were destroyed. This
gives a total shortage OF 1875. This
represents the real need at tho beginning
Of the year 1919, IL the population
showed normal increase.
The next consideration Is how far
are plans on foot to I'LL this shortage
Thus far In the year 1919 plans have
been filed for 27s buildings containing
ACTS apartments. If all these buildings
arc completed in the very near future
We may subtract the 4.675 now apart
ments from our total shortage OF 1875.
which will give US a shortage OF 1900
apartments, based on the estimated pop
ulation of January 1. 1919. However.
in order to find the real present need we
must allow for the normal increase OF
population from January I. 1919. to
January 1. 1920. 1t is necessary to al
low for this full yearly increase In pop
ulation TO know what further houses
must be built and the need OF next win
ter Is our real present need. The num-
Der OF apartments needed a year "a
meet the normal increase in population
Is. as was stated above. 2l,517. We
must. therefore. add this number. 21,5l7.
TO 1875 in order to get the actual pres
ent need. This gives us a total OF 40,282
apartments as the real present need.
There is. however, one. adjustment
which should be made In this estimate,
namely, In calculating 4.675 apartments
for which plans have been filed this year
we should take into consideration the
fact that fourteen of these buildings are
elevator buildings. These elevator
buildings average nearly thirty-three
apartments each. and therefore II Is fair
to estimate that 462 OF the apartments
planned for 1919 are expensive apart
ments and should not be really counted
In toward the solution of the housing
problem. since the housing problem Is
really one which involves the cheaper
apartments called 'walkups.'

Dear Mr.. ClGrke: have In mind a

cash. but on It want to build. for my
own occupancy, q slX room cottage, sub
stantial and convenient but not over
costly. With the prevailing high prices
Of labor and material the builders say

ter cannot be put up for less than $4,000.

yard work, so IL would seem to mean,
with the inevitable extras which they
work in, fully $4,000.
feel that In rent I ought to keep
within a limit Of $50 a month. What
Echeme OF financing would you suggest.
considering the rent limit? Can you
work out and show IN figures what you
consider the most prudent and econom-
zeal way of doing. assuming that the
land is paid for in full? Let the calcu-
lation include OF course, taxes. insur-
ance, repairs, &c. l. w. ".
You make II practically impossible for
one TO find a solution OF your problem
when you say that you want to keep
your total outlay within $50 a month
and at the same time live in $1,000
home, in which your investment at the
outset Is $1,000.
suggest as compromise solution
that you try TO get the figures on your
house down to something below $4,000
and let the grading and handspring go
for a year or two. ] think the mistake
many OF us make when we go TO build
Is In the size OF the house. The average
apartment would not make a very large
house, and yet people manage to live In
II. The same amount OF floor space in
thoroughly modern house would cost
less than what most people spend, and
in the long run would prove equally
satisfactory and more economical. Why
not sacrifice a few Railways. &c. and
make more of your house available for
living purposes7 This will help with the
cost and with the carrying charges
II you could get house for $4,000
this would represent 76 per cent. OF the
total cost OF the operation. I question
whether you can borrow that much on
building loan-probably $500 would be
more nearly available. Many builders
take back second mortgages for part OF
the construction cost. These mortgages
are sold at a discount. The builder gets
his money out and the investor makes q
profit. II you secured a straight mort
gage for $500 the rate OF interest ought
not to exceed $3.50 a month. The taxes
would probably average about $40 Z

true domesticity there must be incor-
porated into their construction a num-
Der OF things besides just brick and NOR
tar. The important thing, after all, is
to emphasize the spirit Of hospitality. for
the home isn't TO be built for our own
selfish enjoyment merely. but for those
near and dear to US.
That being the case, the idea Is TO
design the home so II will express this
sentiment or feeling or quality. or what
ever 1t Is that makes for hospitality. And
to do so we must become familiar with
the good and know why II Is so. Not
every one Is aware that this ideal oil
hospitality can be expressed architectu-
rally as well as by personality or indi-
vlduality. To realize that this Is 80 II
is only necessary to bark back for mo-
ment and consider those fine old Colonia
homes OF the North and tho South
It is this essentially hospitable quality
IN the architecture Of the Boettger house
that makes II so altogether delightful

ity that We find In some rooms anC

vide a pleasing picture.
There IL a charming library Of Eng

sides with banks of book shelves filed

room Is we'll worthy OF mention, vaulted
and decorated with refined but decora-

break the ceiling horizontally at inter-

massive pieces of carved English fur
