MODEL HOMES SITES
CAREFULLY SELECTED
Thirty Locations Considered by
Committee Before It Chose
Nine That Were Used.

The nine sites upon which have
been constructed the model homes
sponsored by The Star were chosen
after the supervisory committee had
carefully weighed the advantages Of
80 locations that were submitted.
The committee which chose the
sites was composed of former Assist
ant Engineer Commissioner Mai Ray
mond A. Wheeler. Rufus s. Lusk,
secretary OF the Operative Builders
Association Of the District of Column
bia, and Horace w. Peaslee of the
local chapter of the American Insti-
tute of Architects.
The committee took more than a
week in considering the various sites.
A tour of inspection to all the loca-
tons was made. and a considerable
number of meetings were necessary
TO arrive at the final conclusions.
Practically ali Of the sites submitted
were excellent and as the choice had
to be limited TO nine the committee
was faced with difficult task.
Many factors were taken into con-
sideration. Accessibility the desira-
bility of the site submitted by the
builder in reference 10 the type of
dwelling TO be erected on II. the loca-
ton of the various types in conform
ity with the surrounding develop
ments, the erection of class of dwell
ing in a section that would serve 70
interest the most persons. the location
of the model homes In all sections OF
the city and last OF all that difficult
problem-ZonnR.
In no case was there any attempt
to make a choice because OF the SUI
periority of one builder over another
but every effort was made to choose
the sites offered by the various build
erS in reference to their suitability
for the demonstration.

unavoidable when combined. The
architect will, SO far as practicable,
reconcile these ideas and make it
clear why others are impossible. DO
not Of necessity accept the first
sketch presented. 1t may be neces-
sary for the designer to produce sew
eral before the solution OF the prob
lem Is reached. 1t is an axiom in
tho architects Office that 1t Is readily
apparent when it is solved. There
Is no doubt about 1t. Once the plan
has been solved. and not until then
comes the time to consider the man
ner or style in which it shall be
trea ted.
Perhaps the most important point
to he considered by the home builder
is the cost. Many persons have had
the sad experience of seeing their
plan grow and expand. not realizing
and never having been told that each
addition to the original means added
cost in direct proportion to increased
size and elaborated detail. A ca
pable architect knows, within reason
able limits, what a building will cost.
At the outset the client should tell
him frankly the maximum sum he
can afford to pay. Else, If the orig
nal requirements are Increased. the
bids will be increased in direct ratio.
The architect has no magic and can
not add one additional room without
adding to the sum to be paid the
builder. Tile and slate roofs require
q greater initial outlay than do wood
shingles: brick is more expensive to
build than frame constructions; we
cannot put rubber tile on the kitchen
floor as cheaply as linoleum, nor can
we use linoieum at the lower cost Of
wood.

Lighting fixtures are all we'll de-
signed silver colonial patterns, and
will give ample illumination for all
purposes.
Sidewalks are already in and the
street is paved 70 within a block.
Each of the other eight projects Is
just as carefully planned and con-
structed. From the most expensive
detached house down to the cheap
est row house the same infinite care
has been taken to provide a home
that is well designed, well built, com

ing any one or all of the model
houses may easily see that the Ut
most has been done 10 make them the

maximum of safety and economy of
cost. all in that setting Of beauty
without which real spiritual prog
ress--the most important thing in
the worlds impossible.
How are we to achieve this ideal
condition?
Good Architect Necessary.
The most important factor in
planning the better home is the well
trained architect. Unfortunately. to
the average man, the part he plays is
a mystery.
OF late there has been tendency
Of men successful in big architectural
work again to devote energy and time
to the housing problem. The facil-
tiles availa bic today TO the architect
for the solution of their structural
and mechanical problems are greater
is actively engaged in research and
investigation and in the testing of
materials and devices which enter
into the successful home The Ameri-
can Institute of Architects also main
tains research hIreau for this
same purpose. Manufacturers OF
building material and mechanical
equipment have been spurred on to
greater efforts by the modern tend
ency toward efficiency and competi-
ton to produce the most efficient and
satisfactory materials. New SAM
tary devices. kitchen equipment. cleo
trical appliances, floor and wall COW
erings. paints and other products
are appearing on the market every
day. These appliances and materials
must be investigated and their use
SO co-ordinated that they may be
properly applied and utilized SO far
as cost limitations will permit. And
there Is no one so we'll equipped for
this task as the we'll trained and ex.
perienced architect.
Selection of Architect Difficult.
The selection Of an architect in
sympathy with his clients ideas and
with sufficient technical knowledge
and training to produce the desired
result is the real difficulty, Having
made his selection, the prospective
home builder, IL complete success is
TO be assured. should cooperate with
the architect to the fullest extent and
in the confidence that his ideas will
be realized. II practical, the archi-
tect should be consulted before the
home site is purchased. II properly
trained. he will be able to point out
the advantages and disadvantages not
readily apparent. and offer invaluable
assistance in reaching a wise deci-
sion.
The site having been chosen, the
client should tell the architect fully
and frankly not only what he ex.
poets in the completed house but in
innate details Of the family life which
will enable the architect to get a
sympathetic view OF the problem
and solve it in the proper spirit. In
this frame of mind and freed from all
unnecessary restrictions. the archf-
tect will ultimately produce much
more satisfactory design than if

conceived ideas of his client The

Architect for the Northeast Model Row
Houses


Since the model homes demonstra-
ton, sponsored by The Evening Star.
TO promote better design and to give
the public a practical demonstration
of good construction, the whole city
has been keenly interested in the prog
ress of the work. They eagerly sought
the first published pictures and the
architects drawings. anxious to see
lust what the builders proposed TO put
up, and they have watched with inter
est the construction of the houses
from the time the excavation was
started until the last nail was driven
and the paint and paper applied.
Those who have watched the cree
ton Of the row Of seven houses on
West Virginia avenue at Queen street

seen materials, the very best obtain

wall showing. They are laid up in
Flemish bond, a method of construct
ing the walls extensively used in the
colonial types of this style of archi-
lecture.
Real Slate Roofs.
Real slate has been used on the
roofs, which also enhances the beauty
of the houses.
Inside equal care was taken to
guarantee rigidity and permanenCe.
Steel beams and columns support all
main floors, and the partitions carry
ing the load of the second floor rest
directly on them. The timbers are of
an excellent grade of we'll seasoned
yellow pine and have been so installed
as to minimize shrinkage. All angles
and joints between walls and ceilings
are covered with metal lath to prevent
cracks in the plaster.
The same quality prevails in the
finish. Oak floors are used through
out the first floor and the bedrooms
are covered with edge grain Ala
bama pine, so that there will be no
splintering and slivering floors. The
trim is all soft wood which takes
paint well and does not twist out of
place. All doors are stained mahog-
any and vanished, which is much
less perishable than a light olored
paint would be.
Bathrooms Well Arranged.
Bathrooms are neat. sanitary and
we'll arranged, each having a builtin
enameled tub with shower over. and
the walls being wainscpted to full
height with white vitrious tile. Metal
medicine cabinets are provided in
each house.

Cape Mays
First Court House

Discovery that the original
building used as a court house
IN Cape May county is now a
stable has caused renewed inter
est in the structure now doing
service and which would have
been torn down but for the OBJ
jections of patriotic orders and
citizens. The present court
house building was erected in
1850, but the architect in plan
ming the building followed the
Colonial style of architecture and
It could easily be mistaken for a
building of that period.
In this building some noted
trials have been held. In it
Woodrow Wilson spoke when he
was making his first campaign
for the Presidency. In fact, it
was Cape May county that Will
son made his only speeches dur
ing that time in New Jersey. AT
ter speaking at Cape May Court
House he went to Wildwood,
where he was entertained by one
Of the Baker brothers, who was
a candidate for Congress and was
elected.
It was also here that Matthew
Jefferson, Prosecutor of the Pleas
was tried for irregularities and
sentenced to a term in prison be-
cause he refused to resign his
Office when given his choice of
so doing and escaping with
small fine. Since then Jefferson's
action has been applauded as an
evidence that he was not as gull
ty as his political enemies tried
to convince the public.
There Is an atmosphere about
the old building that suggests it
belongs to a day long gone. That
1t is out of date there is no doubt,
so far as relates to it's accommo-
dations. In days gone by at the
opening day of court the resi-
dents of Cape May county gather
ed here as they would at a coun-
try fair. All kinds of vehicles
lined the street. There were ma
ny OK teams, and on such days
the men often brought their fam
lilies to town to do their shopping,
Using large carry-alls. On these
occasions politics was a subject
received much attention.

State Police had gone to the

she was given up as lost. When
