Perhaps one of the recent houses

Located on the crest of the rise of
Massachusetts avenue just before 1t

tiful home is seen and commented
on by q vast number Of people that
view It,
The design and general effect of the
house is particularly striking. The
modern adoption Of the northern
Italian style Of architecture is we'll
illustrated in this home.
The principal problem the architect
faced was to plan q house for a city
lot and incorporate in it features of
country residence and to give all
the important rooms in the house the
maximum amount of air and sunlight.
10 achieve this, the living room was
placed in the southwest corner. The
dining room and solarium are located
on the southeast side. The library

Mr.. Bosom has not only aided In

this new type OF building. but has
gone step further in reproducing the
decoration Of the old American tenn
pies. The Petroleum Building in
Houston, Tex. and the Liberty Bank
of Buffalo, N. Y, both creations of
Mr.. Bosom, partake Of Magyar and

of the Liberty Bank is a duplicate of

During the past week two OF the
largest residential properties in the
| District, both located on Connecticut
avenue south of Dupont Circle. have
| been sold, marking the passing of
practically every large residence on
this street before the advance of COM
| merce and city expansion.
These two properties. the Edison
Bradley residence and the Stoneleigh
Courts, at Connecticut avenue and l.
streets. are the most interesting real
estate deals of the year.
To those who remember Connecticut
avenue but a few years ago its pres
ent sky line is a change nothing short
! of astounding. From 81 street OF mag
nif1cent residences, the homes OF ma
tional society leaders, embassies, ana
the residences of internationally IA
nous men and women, 1T has changed
into a thoroughfare Of beautiful
stores.
Old Homes Gone.
In place of the quiet old convent,
with its spacious grounds, stands one
Of the most magnificent hotels III the
country On every corner that was
once the site of the home Of noted
person is a store, an apartment or
building running from three TO eleven
stories.
Instead of the quiet avenue where
once strolled the elite of the National
Capital and high personages OF foreign
lands for their afternoon and Sunday
pronaenades, and in place of the high
broughams, with their housekeeping
horses, there is today a hustling crowd
Of business people, shoppers and 9th
erS engaged in commerce who arrive
on the street cars, in fast moving au-
tomobiles and commercial trucks.
Once the scene of private social
gatherings 1t is now the scene OF
business conferences and hustllnB
visitors coming and going from
hotels. From the magnificent head
quarters of the Chamber of Commerce
of the United States. at one end,to
the improvements at Florida avenue
all IS changed on this street.
VIII Erect Hotel.
For the past few years Connect
cut avenue has been the sene of
great commercial development. 1t Is
expected that on the site of the
former palatical Edison Bradley home
will rails a building of considerable
size While the heads of the Moebs

are not yet indicating what sort of
building they will erect there seems
TO be e. general impression that 1t will
be an apartment house with stores
or an office building. Some brokers'
we'll versed in Connecticut avenue
properties state that is is probable
that an uptown hotel may be erected
on this site.
The British embassy has already
been sold to Harry Wardman and
upon the completion Of the plans for
the new building, which is to be
erected at Observatory Circle and
Massa chusetts avenue by the famous
British architect, Sir Edgar L.
Luytens, this building will disappear.

Little Hall Space.

Unlike many houses, this residence

as little space as possible to Railways

fence Of the makeup of the plan

The main entrances are on Massa.

The living room and entrance hall
are started on a lower level than the
ground outside in order to give more
height and greater effect Of spac-
iousness. From the library and the
second floor bedroom there is a par
ticularly attractive view of the Wash
ington Cathedral which is very effec-
tive and one OF the features that
adds to the charm of the home.
The entire attic floor Is devoted to

Buff Stucco Exterior.
The choice of the northern Italian
design is always made by those who
desire dignified simplicity and this
effect Is well demonstrated here. The
exterior Is Of buff stucCo with a local
rubble stone base and a terrace wall.
The trim is in Ohio sandstone.
The roof of mission tile Is particu-
larly attractive and sets off the house
excellently. The roof colors are straw,
red and brown.
The entire interior OF the house is
designed to follow the simple lines Of
the exterior and the Italian effect is
carried out in the same manner. The
balcony over the entrance, the doors,
the chimneyS and window treatment
blend Well with the architectural de-
sign OF the structure.
No house Of Italian style would be
complete without adequate landscape

For generation after generation
American architects have made their
pilgrimages to Europe to seek out
from It's galaxy OF architectural types
an art and a style that would be ap
propriate to America, and which
might eventually lead to O. new and
original American architecture. They
have made much use Of classical
styles and motifs from Rome, Greece
and ByZantium, scarcely thinking
that within their own land remained
the ruins of one of the three great
est arts in the world, in the Magyar
temples of Central America.
But the distinctive style for which
these architects were striving was not
to be borrowed from Europe or the
ruins of the ancient world, for with
the development of the skyscraper
America, produced an architecture and
a building as original as any of the
old medieval Cathedrals. And now
curiously enough. this skyscraper
different from anything created in the
Old World, Is being transformed into
an edifice inspiring II form and
beautiful In it's strength by operation
OF the New York zoning law, for the

Is making our city buildings follow
the prototypes of the great temples
of the Magyar Indians in Central
America.
In order that a building be built
more in height than twice the width OF
the street it is located on, it must rise
up in step fashion back from the
curb. 1t must sit back like the
old Magyar pyramids of Central Amer
lea. Such a building can be erected
