Philadelphia Architect Hears Wash

Honor where hOnOr's due.
There's an architectural tribute to
frenzied "kettle and pam syncopation
in the capital city of the United States.
And Albert Kelsey, the Philadelphia
architect, during a recent trip to Wash :
ington, discovered he's responsible for
it. Here's the story:
A while back Mr.. Kelsey designed
the Pan American building in Wash :
ington. And one of the most delight
full features of it is the Jade Fence. y
n low wall circling a fountain. The
wall is reminiscent of the picturesque
Aztec and is in rich green stucco with
wealthy variety of color in terra Gotta.
Mr.. Kelsey was strolling over the
grounds yesterday when he happened
upon a group of sightseers trailing after
an official guide.
The guide was saying as he pointed
to Mr.. Kelsey's jade fence:
Ladies' and gentlemen, to your right
YOU will observe the most distinctive
architectural gem in this city of beauty.
II is known to students of beauty ant
to sculptors and architects as thu
famous Jazz Fence.

A meeting of suburb officials will
probably be called next week to take
