Tudor houses in spite of their size
were simple and substantial buildings Of
brick or stone, or both. They had slate
roofs. The chimneys were of moulded
brick. and no two chimneys of the same
house were alike in shape. The half
timbered house also belongs to the Tudor
period.
The surroundings of the Tudor houses
were always charming. The gardens
were always laid out in accordance with
simple theories based upon a definite
plan embracing some architectural de
sign in the way of steps and balustraded
| terraces, A bowling green was often n
part Of the gardens attached to the
| larger houses.
John Russell Pope introduced the mod
| ernized Tudor house to America when he
designed the Stuart Duncan house at
Newport In 1912. He was given entire
| charge of the building and furnishing of
the house. A type of brick, which mod
ern builders discard because of its color,
was used by him, because OF its
| weathered look.
Old English furnishings and decora.
lions which belonged to the period were
imported by Mr.. Pope for the house
Whenever he was forced to use an imita-
ton instead OF an original he super
| vised the copying.

During the same period IN 1918 there
were only 3,719, Register Polak said
in making the report:
Each sale OF property represents fees
for brokers, lawyers and the title in
surance companies The owners OF real
estate profit by the increased business
of the Registers Office because the fees
paid into the city treasury by that office
have more than doubled. This increase
in revenue is reflected in the tax rate
for the current year"
The report shows that fees amounting
to S1S2.436.0S were collected in 1919, as
against s75.61S.21 for the first nine
months of 1914
