structure will acquire a reputation
which will result in its finally pass.

cit is time that certain phases OF
this, cooperative building question
should be discussed. I'VE have had
a great deal of discussion on the
advantages accruing to those who
become owners Of co.operatives, put
the side of the question about which
/ am now talking has been seriously
neglected. The instance which
crystallized my conviction came to
my attention last week.
CARELESS CONSTRUCTION
''Mr. x. paid large sum for a
cooperative" apartment in Manhat-
tan. He happens to be wealthy
man, but the cost Off this part
ment was large enough to seem
stable even to very wealthy
man. He contracted to buy it from
plans, and relied upon the. plans
themselves, the people who made
the sale, and a clause in the con.
tract for complete satisfaction. That
clause promised that his apartment
would be as fine as the finest
apartment in Fifth Avenue
'Mr. x is now residing in the
apartment he bought. I paid a pro-
fessional visit there last week.
Instead Of being Of the very finest
workmanship and material through

tive apartment deal should know
what 1t is selling, and should be
conscious Of enough responsibility
in this regard to see that the
apartments and the building itself
measure up to the standards set In
the original plan and specifications.

hitting himself. But that is only
true because business man watches
more carefully the dollars he in.
vests for profit than he does those
same.value dollars he invests for a
home. 1t is inconceivable that any.
one would have spent 100000 on a
business property without the most
painstaking advance analysis.
"Mr. x. remarked it would have
been worth $4,000 to him to have
insured satisfaction in his purchase
through expert supervision while
the construction was in progress.
Now he only has the recourse Of
two alternatives: To grin and bear
1t or try and get his money back
either through persuasion or the
law courts.
Il have related this incident in it's
detail because it is such 1. striking
case. 1t points as well as any incl.
dent can call up to the fact that
the cooperative situation has
reached the crossroads.
I'VE have travelled considerable
distance from the co-operatives of
rs years ago. In those DAYS the
cooperative ventures were co.opera.
tive from the beginning Of the ven
ture.
There was no speculative element
present and the stock owners saw
to 1t by hiring their own architect
that the building was exactly what
they wanted and what they paid
for. Since the rescussitation of the
cooperative idea, after the war, the
cooperative element has not entered
until after the building is In the
hands of the owners.
There have been many successful
cooperative apartments built and
sold on the latter-day plan, but
their influence has been greatly
counteracted by other ventures

Antidated English

''These missions, or churches of
Spanish design antedated the homes
built by our Dutch and English fore
bears, and so the present interest
in the architecture and furnishings
OF Spain Is an unconscious though
happy revival of a style introduced
into our country centuries ago.
There is nothing new or radical or
out of place about the house Of
Spanish architecture in the United
States. In fact, the climate of the
greater part Of our country is so
similar to that of the Mediterranean
that the style is equally as well
adapted to our climate as to that Of
the country in which it was de-
veloped.
1T is but natural that a revival
or the style should produce some
nlonstrosities, and one often sees a
@o-called Spanish house. with many
colored splotches of stucco daubed
over its exterior surface, ungainly
lines and ornamental features which
bear no relation to the style. For
tunately however, a, large proper
ton of Spanish houses are designed
by architects who have studied the
history Of Spanish architecture, and
the home builder or home seeker
can obtain a product correct in
every detail. modified only insofar
as Is necessary to meet the needs
OF modern equipment.
10 really know and appreciate
the Spanish style it is necessary to
know something about its develop
ment. Spain is a country that in
v1tes US to explore her past. Her
geographical isolation has tended, to
make her conservative, and SO it
is comparatively simple to trace the
development of her architecture
She has interpreted imported for
eign styles in aTnational manner,
and it is the individual and unex.
pected variants Of these interpreta.
lions that makes her architectural
style so pleasingly distinctive.
1.-THE Moors. during their long
stay in Spain. impressed the
Spaniards with their wonderful
Saracenic color. design and crafts
xnanship. France contributed the
Romanesque art. and Spain COM
bined this with the work of the
Moorish smiths, resulting in the
splendid character Of her wrought
Iron work. Then came the era of
Ebsence of ornament, introduced by
the architect Herrera. followed by
the BaroQue style, with its riot of
color.
