The home of George II. Bell. AT 21lS
Thirty-second street is considered by
many experts to he one of the pretti-
est residences in the District of Co
lumbia.
The house, while not of pretentious
proportions. is one that shows 4 great
appreciation of things beautiful and of
the delicate retin@mentS of archltec-
ture. Located in a wooded landscape
just at the turn of a road, the resi-
dence never fails TO attract comment
from those who pass by.
The house is of a Tudor Got hic- Eng
iiSh style. constructed OF bethesda
stone. There are l. shades among
the stones of which the house is erect
ed, none of them clashing or vivid.
The house is also set off 10 advantage
by an ample use of stucco and timber
on a cement base.
Develops Various Roof Angles.
One of the attractive features of the
residence Is the various roof angles,
which conform to the many little dor
merS which jut themselves above the
cave line The bea mwork and the
stone give a touch of the old English
inn style as the house is viewed
among the trees from the distance.
The flag walk from the pavement
leads to a Gothic doorway. over which
there is a small wrought iron flower
box and a coat Of arms SuImounted by
a roof line finished with carved barge
wood. The stone chimney a the side
of the house gives the entire ensemble
a pleasing effect. The roof is mix
ture of blended green and purple Ban
sor slate. while the caves and down
spouts and all the flushing are of dull
copper.
In the rear is a large stone porch.
