Model Residence Construction Reaches
Stage Giving Conception of General

With the setting in place of the
studding on both the first and second
floors of the demonstration house,
which is being erected In Rock Creek
Park Estates, under the auspices of
The Star, this model home, the third
Of the 1927 series, now has reached
the stage in it's construction which
gives a conception of the general plan
and layout Of the building. clearly de-
filming the rooms, windows and door

on Orchid street near the intersection
with Popular lane, now also affords a

the garden and the lawn, with back

including the chimney. with it's top

brick laid in black mortar, as one of
the finishing touches.
The large main gable facing the
street is nearly completed, including
some interesting pattern of inlay
work in this face, introduced to bring
a little accent into this rather broad
expanse of brick, though even the
larger surfaces afford interest from

before the plasterers get to work, is a
favorable time for visitors to inspect
the unusually substantial construc-

walls; the Turing, instead of the usual
wood strips on the rough inside of the
stone work, is an inner course of hol-
low terra-cotta tile, built right in with
the stonework as it goes up, as a solid
part of the wall, with no risk of
trouble from possible warping or
shrinking of wood afterwards.

The model home is an eightroom

Standing forth as beautiful exam
pie of a well planned and wisely built
modern house of modest size. The
Star model home in Wesley Heights,
the first of the 1927 series of demon

and tomorrow will be thrown open
TO the public for one month of inspec.
ton and study in the interest or
home ownership and better house con-
Struction.
The large corps Of finishers and
decorators who have been busily en-
gagged during the past two or three
weeks placing final touches on the
house today laid down their tools and
equipment just as members OF The
Star model homes committee, which
has been in charge of the demonstra-
ton. formally and critically Inspected
their work and called the production
complete.
This home, located at 2910 Forty
fourth place. Wesley Heights, over
looking the wooded stretches of the
Glover parkway, has been furnished
and equipped throughout and is ready
for occupancy.
All Washington and its suburban
residents are invited to visit the
home tomorrow or at any time during
the subsequent four weeks to study
the construction and the arrangement
of the house and its setting. There
will be someone at the house at all
times during open hours to receive
visitors, who will be permitted to
come and go at will to freely inspect
all features of the place. Visitors
will not even be asked to sign guest
book.
The home was built by the firm
- ~ cI, iy,rr $ny,
realtors and builders. Work was
tstarted on the place the week OF
April 9 after the model homes COM
mittee had selected the site, and the
building and it's setting were COM
pleted on schedule time. although some
delay was occasioned by the lack of
certain materials specified for the
place which were not available here
at the time needed.
The entire membership of The Star

all voiced approval of the place and

Basement and Garage
Are Blasted Through
Solid Rock.
ERECTION COST
is REASONABLE.
Rural Appearance Adds
Charm and Air of
Coziness.
BY l.. PORTER MOORE,

President. Home Owners Institute, Inc.
One of the most interesting houses
vet offered is featured today as plan
No cess. 1t is an example OF build
ing against difficulties, for the base
ment and garage were blasted through
solid rock The fact that the archltec
ture of the home is adapted to its To-
cation, in the woods, will appeal to
the home builder who cannot AFFORD
a lot in cultivated development.
This small house, with it's picturesque
exterior, might be erected at the END
of nowhere" and it would still be
outstanding, when the location. IN
time, became the center OF population.
1t is one of those adaptable homes
which may be erected at small cost
and yet maintain an air OF careless
aristocracy.
The rural appearance, that IS so
effective when skillfully carried out,
has been emphasized by the irregular
laying of the shingles and the wavy
application of the stucco, which gives
the effect Of being accidental rather
than premeditated. The low hanging
roof and steel easement windows FUR
Their add to the general air OF <cozy
informality, as does the solid oak door,
the steps of uneven paving stones
and the small stoop of common bricK.
The designer, Joseph Mccoy of New
Rochelle, N. Y, has arranged the IN
terror with a great deal of forethought.
He allows the two second floor rooms
to be finished as need arises. BY
specifying a large dining alcove, ne
has allowed ample space and at the
same time conserved the room wasted
by the usual dining room. This extra
space has been added to the living
room, enlarging it's proportions lar De-
yond the average for a small nome.
The open fireplace presents pleasant
possibilities for cold Winter evenings:
Bath Separates Bedrooms.
The two bedrooms are separated by
the bath with an up-to-date shower
and built-in china fixtures. Nor is
this all the modern equipment, by any
means. The house Is adapted to every
modern convenience the builder may
wish to install, and in these days OF
labor saving devices, he usually wishes
to install every tested convenience on
the market.
According to Arthur Bates Lincoln,
consulting architect Of Home owners
Institute, the house contains about
27 900 cubic feet and may be, erected
for approximately $4,000 If the attic
rooms are unfinished, and $4,000 If
the two rooms are completed.
