Facts in Woodlawn Hills, which have
full view of the city. Mr.. Magncr's
log cabin" will doubtless, when COM

Ind novel homes in the suburban acre-
lie northwest of San Antonio. e.
Not only was it Mr.. Magner's desire
b construct home that was different
h: the many respects but apparently
Isis his ambition to build the house
Is: substantially. as possible. Cedar
hosts. which are set in concrete and
llaced at least six feet apart. in ad-
'ition to cobble-stone base on all
bur sides Of the house. compose one
IL the most substantial foundations

builder. 1t is said that this foundation
Eould be adequate for a four-story
louise.
- Walls OF Cedar Logs.
The outer walls of the home have
|hree thicknesses. two being of shiplaf'
Ind one of cedar logs. The cedars are
b seven-foot lengths and as the bark
s:being left on. the house has an IN
|slial appearance indeed.
/ Double floors are being placed

hey squeak or shake when one walks

A spacious concrete front porch on
Ehicb cobble-stone columns are being

II the home. The house has six rooms.

IN the north end Of this room the
builder has installed a cobble.stone
fireplace which. 1t is said. was de-
.iened after one in Bandera which Is
DO years old. This fireplace will
doubtless add to the atmosphere OF the
house when probably the occupant Will

THE home has two bedrooms. a din.
ng room, kitchen, breakfast room. and
bath in addition to the large living
,oom. The bathroom is being finished
n Keene's cement. The latest in bath
-oom equipment will be installed. Mr.
Nagner announces, and among the Tea
.ures will be n modern shower.
The breakfast room probably is the
lief attraction Of the rear OF the
house. 1t has wainscot OF cedar logs
while the wall paper is in large de-
signs and attractive colors.
To Have Beautiful Yard.
Mr.. Magner has devised a plan for
a large winding driveway
IN the grounds of the property and
after planting suitable trees and shrub
,ery. he says he expects to lave an ex-
beautiful yard-one that
wouIl attract the attention Of the
most discriminating buyer. The house
s being constructed in the center OF
.wo and one-half acre tract. The prop
.rty will be placed on the market inn
nediately upon its completion. 1t was
announced last week by Mr.. Wagner.
This is but one OF the many beauti;
,ul homes that have been constructed
IN woodlawn Hills. 1t is predicted
that this suburban property Will be
among the highest improved in or
around San Antonio within another
few years. Lights, telephone and wa
ter-are available to home builders on
many OF the tracts.
