dent Of the Apartment Owners Associa-
ton. and Mr.. Isaacs was one of its d.
rectors. These two organizations are
row dissolved and their members will
Join the Real Estate Board.
The governors held in allegiance tenn
porarily the filling of the two remaining
places on the board. so as to provide rep
resentation for other organizations that
may follow q course similar to that of
the other two. The plan Is one upon
which the board OF governors has been
working for some time, with view to
combining ultimately In the Real Estate
Board of New York all OF the real estate
interests of the city, centralizing their
activities and eliminating duplication of
effort
Another feature OF the plan Is to en-

tee of the Real Estate Board to include
representatives of the West Side and
East Side apartment house interests,
these to be selected also from the two
organizations now taken Into the Real

tise what he breaches. Mr.. Kaufman
| Kept up his search until, with the aid OF
| Douglas L. Gilman & Co.. Inc, brokers.
| le found a chance to lease the old DAILY
| rouse from Charlotte L. Smith and
others for twenty-one years.
Without the aid of architects Mr.
Kaufman began the task OF turning an
ordinary four story American brown
stone dwelling and basement into a
,tructure that would make tasteful
.ome for his business and still resemble
a private dwelling. By the simple use
or soft, warm Italian stucco and by
.eaving the house with it's set back. Mr..
Kaufman utilized the approach to the
building and featured 1t In a garden
spirit. The basement facade was opened
eor a spacious window with small panes.
and the doorway was columned with
tapestry brick.
Having solved the problem of the
elimination Of the brown stone on the
exterior, the lessee set about to ADAPT
the interior to the display OF the deco
orators wares without injuring the at
mosphere of the hospitable old house
and at the same time to preserve and
|
the lower floor Mr.. Kaufman set about
to continue the italian motif which he
began on the exterior The walls are
finished in rough old terra Gotta plaster
with marble terrazzo floors in black and
white squares. The general effect Is the
production of old italian walls in warm
colors. A new staircase was installed
leading to the main display room on the
second floor. There the walls have been
similarly treated and finished in a neu-
trail green and warm tan. with loaded
easement windows which open In the
rear into the garden. which is to be
finished with terrace and loggia with
playing fountains.
AS one approaches the house the first
impression is Of simplicity in dealing
with the facade effect. This impression
extends into the interior on all floors
BY the skilful use of warm stucco tones
the decorator has altered the dwelling
inside and out without resorting to
structural changes so that the visitor
marvels at the disappearance OF the old
time inartistic brown stone New York
side street house and at the same time
discovers that the old building has hardly
been disturbed.
