MODEL HOME AT KENWOOD
Foxhall Village Exhibition House Enters
on Last Week of Inspection
by Public.

Mrs. Calvin Coolidge. who, with the
President, occupies the home that is the
,onged-for residence of citizens through
out the Nation, heads the list Of thou
sands who have inspected the model
homes sponsored this year by The Star.
The First Lady of the Land, it was
learned today, slipped quietly away
from her duties at the White House a
few days ago to pay visit to The Star
model dwelling at the corner of Ken
nedy drive and Chamberlin avenue,
Kenwood, Md.
Arriving at this large colonial dwell
ing at 1890 am. in order to avoid
crowds of other visitors, Mrs. Coolidge
occupied the better part of an hour
studying the features of the dwelling,
noting items of special interest here and
there. She was accompanied only by
personal guardian of the Secret
Service
While Mrs. Coolidge was at the
model home other visitors were denied
admittance, so that she might have en-
tire freedom in inspecting the dwell
ing.

the auspices of The Star.
The house is open daily to visitors
from 9 am. to pm. 1t may be
reached by driving out @ street to Wis
consin avenue, north to Reservoir road,
west to Forty-fourth street. south to
O street and west half block. Also,
it may be reached by street car to
Foxhall Station, about three blocks
south of the village, and by bus from
Dupont Circle.
This interesting English group dwell
ing contains features of special interest
to women folk as well as men, and
many phases of its planning, decoration
and equipment have brought forth COM
mentS from visitors.
Kitchen Carefully Planned.
For one thing, there is the specially
designed kitchen. Equipment is planned
to minimize the number of steps and
work OF the housewife, as we'll as to add
to the attractiveness of her surround
ings. There are two cupboards of large
size built against walls of the kitchen,
and under one of these is an all-metal
table that should prove handy in culi-
Evening star., 1928-11-24

nary duties. The other cupboard has a
wide, wooden, tablelike top over Its
lower portion.
In one of the cupboards is space for
busting mop and other necessary kitch-
en- equipment and a built-in ironing
board that folds out of sight.
The kitchen also contains a cooking
range of latest model and on the floor
is linoleum that has been cemented to
the floor to prevent raising or warping
Adjoining the kitchen at the rear OF
the house, and also overlooking the neat
English rock garden in the rear yard,
is breakfast nook in which has been
built specially designed furniture, where
the morning meal may be served with
out disturbing the adjoining dining
room.
Mechanical Refrigerator.
At the inner end of the breakfast
nook Is large mechanical refrigera-
tor, handily placed in relation to the
breakfast set, and over this is another
large cupboard where dishes and other
equipment may be placed.
Cupboard space, SO important to the
housewife. also is available through
out the three floors of the house. There
are closets in each of the main rooms
lof the DWELLING linen closet close by
the baths of the second and third floor
halls, while on the top floor at the
head of the winding staircase is COM
modious cedar closet, ample for the
hanging of all milady'S finery.
In the basement are other provisions
designed for the convenience of the
housewife. First in Importance, per-
haps, there is large cold-storage room
where jeNies, vegetables and fruits may
be placed for safekeeping, and at the
rear of the room are placed three sta
tionary washtubs, and nearby are an
ironing machine and mechanical
washing machine This equipment is
placed under basement windows, where
ample natural light is available.
The furnishings of the house also
have attracted comment from woman
visitors, as we'll as the light natural
oak wax finish of the first-floor wood
work. There are built-in bookcases on
either side of the fireplace In the
living room, which proved popular with
visitors.

RUGGEDNESS MARKS
SIX-ROOM STRUCTURE
Suggestion Of Hominess Is
Found in Sketch
of Building.
BY L. PORTER MOORE.

President Home Owners Institute, Inc.
Small homes Of good design in the
Norman manner are few and far be-
tween. Houses in this architectural
style, planned to utilize modern Amer
lean materials, are gaining in popu-
larity.
For these reasons, as we'll as for the
appeal in the Norman French style. l
believe this six-room house, plan No
337-S, will prove popular with home
builders. I believe you will like the
suggestion of nominees given in the
prospective drawing, the substantial
ruggedneSS of the masses, and, of even
more Importance, the fact that the plan
has been built and found to be as good
in three dimensions as promised by the
drawings.
This house, designed by Fox, Duthie
& FosSe, has been built in Cleveland as
a model home.
Exterior walls are developed in gray
stucco slightly textured. Metal lath has
been used as stucco base. These COM
bine with massive chimney and archi-
tectural detailing to produce an ex-
terror with character and distinction
that is true to type.
A study of the floor plans reveals a
living room of generous proportions,
made to appear larger by the wide
openings to entry hall and dining room.
A well planned kitchen includes a
breakfast alcove; range is located in a
recess adjoining chimney. A conven-
