Mr.. Morrill, nodded the houses In
cement by pouring the liquid between
adjustable steel frames, that permitted
every architectural detail planned by
the municipal architect to be shaped
in concrete.

usually are of stone. because timber in
France Is not plentiful, and, further
more, because stone houses appeal hest
