WILDWOOD CREST

Work on the apartment house being
built for Jos. Schiller, and which will
when completed be known as the
Crest Apartments" is rapidly pro-
crossing. The original plans of the
architect and builder called for this
structure to face directly on Atlantic
avenue and the lower floor to contain
stores. A code in the Crest Building
Laws stated that the building must
be set back at least % feet from
Atlantic avenue and as a result the
Building Committee of the Crest
Council had to see that this was done.

been somewhat altered and instead of
the store buildings the apartment will
be built entirely for apartments and
will when completed hold "a separate
