THOUSANDS PRAISE
NINE MODEL HOMES
Constant Stream of Visitors
to The Stars Demon
stration Houses.

From o'clock yesterday morning
of keenly interested persons flowed
in and out of the nine model houses
erected for the better homes demon
stration sponsored by The Star.
At every house from Maryland to
Virginia and from northeast to north
west those in charge were kept busy
showing the visitors through the
residences and explaining every de-
tail of their construction.
Every evidence was manifested by
the visitors that The Star is sponsor
ing an undertaking of tremendous
interest to the people of the National
Capital. The questions and the COM
ments indicated that there are hum
dreds anxious to become home owners
and who only needed such n demon
stration to encourage them in taking
the forward step, and to educate them
as TO what they must look for in
buying a house.
Many Visit All Prospects.
Many inspected all the houses, as
was indicated by note books in which
they had made elaborate comments
and comparisons of the various prof.
ects. Scores already own their homes
and were anxious to obtain new ideas
for improvements.
From the row houses to the large
detached residences the visitors found
improvements and innovations that
were not revolutionary or impossible
in ordinary residences, but are novel
and helpful and the result of the COM
bined study of the more than 80 eX-
perts who had part in producing the
structurally finished projects.
The one house of which the land
scaping and interior decorating are
finished attracted more than 5000
persons. This residence, which is
fully completed. is at Thirteenth street
and Alaska avenue.
The spacious rooms, the unusually
attractive eXteriors and the bathrooms
in the row houses also drew consider
able attention. The utilization of every
particle of space and the sound con-
struction were appreciated by the Wis
itors. The sem-detached houses with
their built-in porches that are really
part of the structures and serve as
extra rooms the unusually attractive
architecture and the spacious interior
planning were particularly noted.
Nearby Houses Attractive.
Aa
The Maryland and Virginia model
homes had their share of visitors as
well as all three of the detached
houses within the District. From
the comments it was learned that the
demonstration was complete sue
cess. While only one of the houses
is furnished so far, the interior deco.
ration of several others will be con-
cluded this week. The Maryland
house will be fully furnished by
July II.
The furnished residence at Thir'
teenth street and Alaska avenue, de.
signed by Victor Mindeleff of the
American Institute of Architects and
built by L. E. Breuninger Sons,
was particularly attractive.
The wall paper represented replicas
of early colonial and old French pat
terms of the eighteenth and nine.

of the best. Every care has been
taken to have the inferior decorations
conform to the architectural design.
