Building is the most satisfactory
way of acquiring home of your own.

ideas of the person who built the
house, or Of what a house should be, or
the investment builders opinion of

The requirements for a location stipulated fifteen
hundred meters along the edge Of the lake, en-
bracing large properties; a port for hydroplanes,
facing the Alps and having access by land and
water. Within the walls of the small territorial
district of Geneva amid the country adorned with
parks and decked with gardens, several estates
were available to the representatives of the differ
ent nations.
The parish of Genthod, about four miles out
from the town, perhaps the more readily fulflls
these conditions. Genthod, of the oldest VIII
lagos, was a part of the bishop of Geneva's prop
erty. In 1885 it became the property of the
public and is inclOsed in the land that the Bernese
took from the duke of Savoy. An unusually beau

Genevans.
In the tenth century the nobemen replaced the
country house of their forefathers by beautiful
estates; gardens were laid out and planted. Two
of these estates with the houses intact, rendered
all the more beautiful by the passing of time. with
avenues and venerable woods, first chosen.
