Scale Model on Exhibition.
A surprise feature of the Chevy Chase
model house is an exact scale model,
replica of the colonial dwelling which
may be seen in concrete form in the
suburban section, which today was
placed prominently on view in an F
street show window of the department
store of Woodward g. Lothrop.
This model, made by Mr. Heaton,
architect of the exhibition dwelling. is
scaled l inch to a foot in size, and
carries out faithfully the details of
the colonial brick structure on Maple
avenue. Doors, windows, curtains and
shutters reveal a picture of the real
dwelling. There may be seen also tiny
individual shingles, illustrative of the
slate shingles that cover the roof of the
real home. These tiny imitation shin
giles were laid on the model with palms.
taking care just as real slate shingles
are laid on roofs of real houses.
The model of the exhibition dwelling
carries out also the color scheme of the
Maple avenue home, as we'll as fndicat-
ing the type of surroundings and land
scaping plan.
Brick Facades Painted white.
The exterior brick walls Of the Chevy
Chase model home have been painted
white, which gives appealing contrast
against the green of the lawns and the
background of trees in the forested hill
side to the rear of the model home
property.
To the side of the f1agstone front
walk is a neat rock garden effect built
into the terraced lawn. Three dormers
of identical design form feature of

bay, provides an invitation to enter the

spacious living room, with exposures
on three sides with windows ample to
assure good lighting and ample ventila-
ton. There Is, of course, fireplace.

designed as a study or retreat for the
master of the house.
The dining room, to the right Of the

quate in size for its purpose. Against
the outside wall is a wide sink with
copper lining, while on either wall adj
