Owning Building Section for Washington and Suburbs
ENLAR REGIMENT WORK STARTED
ON GEORGETOWN u. BUILDINGS
In6rmary and Faculty Structures Being
1mproved-Hospital to Be Moved
to Reservoir Road.

Another evidence of building activity
at Georgetown University, which is
constructing a million-dolla addition
! to its equipment on Reservoir road, is
seen in work just started on the en-
! largement of its infirmary and faculty
buildings.
Within the next few years it is ex-
pccted the 93-acre tract of George
town University in West Washington
will be the scene Of a more extended
building program. Four acres south of
Reservoir road. adjoining the park area
acquired by the Government in Foun-
dry Branch Valley, have been pur-
chased by the university as future
site for its law department. Since
1892 the law school has been situated
ct SOC E street.
The most important project contcm-
plated by the university during the
next few years is the removal of its
hospital, one of the largest in the Dis
trict, to site adjoining the new medi-
cal-de1tal school building on Reservoir
road. 1t is also proposed to erect there
new nurses home in connection with
the hospital.
Work on Building Progresses.
Vacation of Georgetown Hospital,
which covers nearly an entire city
tory space for the university, or per-
haps space for some Of its other de-
partments. Work on the medical
dental building is progressing rapidly,
and it is expected to be ready for occu-
pancy this Fall
The two buildings which are at pres
ent undergoing improvement are among
the oldest at the college. The infrmary
building was erected in 1881, and the
fnlr ptfi1rl in1 trtl nc
home for the faculty, was built 10 years
later. A few years afterwards the two
buildings were joined together.
In all these years the buildings have
remained practically unchanged with
the exception of few installations to
suit modern conveniences. The en-
largements will greatly alleviate the
present living accommodations of the
faculty.
The infirmary is to have a new din
ing room on the first floor for guests;
baths will be installed in both buildings
and an elevator will run to the roof.
One of the most welcome conveniences
will be roof garden, extended in the
form of a porch towards the river. A
small four-story addition also will pro-
vide additional rooms for the infirmary
and faculty building.
Exterior to Be Kept Intact.
1t is important to note that nothing
will be done to change the early
American architecture Of the buildings,
which are among the finest types re-
manning in Washington. AS in the case
of the old North Building, built before
the plans for the city of Washington
were laid out the exterior will be kept
intact The old North Building inside
is thoroughly modern college dormi-
tory.

chased by the university will give it
eventually an entrance on Arizona

predominant red brick is broken by an
occasional clinker brick to give the
desired appearance of roughness.
The front porch has been rooted and
its cement floor laid. It is connected
with the house by two cement steps

three orange bulbs from the ceiling.

The house is situated on Kennedy
drive and may be reached by driving
out Wisconsin avenue to the southern
entrance to Kenwood, marked by a
large sign on the left side of tho road
between the Maryland State line and
Bradley lane, turning left and contin-

first street to the right within the con-
fines of Kenwood proper, and thence
north for about 400 yards. The model
home is the first house encountered on
the right side of the drive.
Looks Over Broad Lawn.
It stands on site looking across
broad sweep of lawn and open land to
dense woods almost half a mile distant.
The builders, the Kennedy Chamber lin
Development Co., have employed the
best landscape artists in the city to lay
out the spacious grounds. The lot has
a frontage of lie feet and a depth of
$50 feet.
The interior of this home is exquisite

mahogany. On the first floor, with the

richness which catches and reflects the

its shade from pale tint to a rich

UPWARD TREND SEEN
IN BUILDING INDUSTRY
Reports From 500 Leading Cities
Show Unmistakable Gain
Throughout Nation.


Official reports to S. w. Straus g. Co.
of building permits issued or plans filed
in 500 leading cities and towns in the
48 States indicate an unmistakable up
ward trend in building activities at this
time. While plans filed in New York
City, prior to the signing of the multiple
dwellings bill by Gov. Roosevelt. were
considered doubtless of abnormal pro-
portions, the figures for the rest of the
country clearly demonstrated that the
trend, temporarily at least, is upward.
April permits granted in the 500 cities
totaled S538, 446,781, compared with
S347, 949 ,526 in April last year, the
gain being 80 per cent. With the $685.
154,263 in plans filed in New York ex-
cluded, there remained S279, 292,513 for
the rest of the country, gain over last
April of 5 per cent.
A similarly encouraging conclusion Is
reached when a study is made of the,
seasonal variation. The total of plans
and permits officially reported in March
this year was S408, SCI, O03; the gain
from March to April, therefore, was 80
per cent. This was in contrast with the
normal seasonal variation between the
two months, which is / per cent de-
cline. Excluding New York City, the
upward trend from March to April was
18 per cent, which is the approximate
normal variation for these two months
