the most part Of people Of the

The two-Story, basement and
attic homes designed by the de-
velopers for their new community
meet this demand. They are de-
signed along the line Of architect
ure embodied in the early Ameri.
can home and the granite blocks
used In all foundation walls and

suburban atmosphere, each home
contains a reception hall. living
room, dining room, music room,

DUPONT CIRCLE
To HAVE HOTEL

Plans for the erection Of an
eleven-Story addition to the pres

occupying the triangle site at
Dupont Circle, between Connect
cut Avenue and Nineteenth Street,
were made public yesterday when
plans for the structure were flied
with the District building inSpec-
tors office by Joseph j. Moebs,
owner of the property and builder
Of the new building.
Although no cost Of the pro
posed hotel development was made
known. it is estimated that the
building which will contain more
than 500 rooms, will be valued in
excess Of $1,00O,00O. Each room
win be complete with refrigera-
ton and open fireplaceS-
The new structure viii have
facades Of stone and brick con
Struction, while the remaining
stories will be Of reinforced con-
crete. The eleventh floor will be
set back to conform to the regu-
lations for buildings of maximum
height.
When the present one-story
building was built four years ago
the necessary foundation and
footingS for the erection of q
building of this size were allowed
for. It has an area Of 10000
square feet, with frontage of
327 feet and 298 feet on Nine
teenth Street and Connecticut
Avenue, respectively.
A dining room and lobby will
occupy the first floor of t'le pro-

the building now contains an
arcade and store rooms.

We are now on the threshold Of
the greatest development the Capi
tai has ever known. During the
last few years, much has been
done to carry forward to realiza-
ton the dreams Of Washington
and L'Enfant for the National
Capital. Much more win be done
in the ten years to come with the
expenditure Of $500, 100000 for
buildings, and boulevards and
memorials, and for the preserva-
tion Of the natural beauties which
washington loved.
The social advantage Of Wash
| ington are unexcelled and attract
the wealthy from all over the
country. Many notable functions
and receptions Of one kind and an
other are given here, including
the diplomatic, the congressional,
and the White House receptions,
with their assemblages Of many
famous men and women.
The recreational fecilities of
Washington are many. There are
a number Of large golf clubs to
which people Of means belong, and
for the vast number of government
workers there have been provided.
at q very low fee, municipal golf
courses and tennis courts.
Throughout Potomac Park and
Rock Creek Park are bride paths
for those who love the saddle.
washington also ministers to
the religious life Of the people.
Many fine national churches have
recently been located here and the
National Cathedral Is an inspira-
ton to all who behold it and avail
themselves OF the opportunity to
attend its services.
Comforts For All.
In short, the city Of Washing.
ton ministers to the needs and
comforts Of every one in every
walk Of life, and no where else is
one able to live such an abundant
life amid surroundings Of such
rare charm and beauty.
Our aspirations for our city are
well expressed by President Cool
idge when he says:
Whenever an American is al
the seat Of his Government, how
ever Travelled and cultured he
may be, he ought to find q city
OF stately proportion. symmetri
cally laid out and adorned with
the best that there is In archi
lecture, which would arouse his
imagination and stir his patriotic
pride.
I'm the coming years, Washing
ton should be not only the art
center Of our own country, but
the art center of the world
Around it should center all that
is best in science. in learning, In
letters and in art.
Let it express the soul Of
America"

BUILDING STYLE
SIMPLER, SAYS
ARCHITECT

America is suffering from archi-
tectural Indigestion, Thought on
by attempting during the past
quartCr Of a century all the var
ious styles Of building which have
grown out of 1000 years Of effort
and according to j. Monroe Hew-
lett, vice president Of the Ameri-
can Institute Of Architects. A
thirst for variety has produced
a hodge-podge In our cities that
bears no resemblance to harmony,
dignity or individuality.
"This tendency, is a protest
against the uniformity Of our
towns and cities of q few decades
ago, but 1t has gone to such ex-
tremes that the results look like
a nightmare.
Variety MOnOtOn0us
'The extreme variety of build
ingS in so many of our modern
cities is producing just the sort
Of monotony it was desired to
evade.
lone reason for the fantastic
and absurd designs seen in pre-
sent day types of buildings arises
from a desire to outdo or over
shadow the adjoining building,
by erecting a structure that be-
cause Of its startling and flam-
boyant nature will attract atten-
ton at the expense Of the other.
"Such practices defeat their
own purposes. for they are q
form Of architectural discourteSy.
The value of the building is en-
hanced, not by grotesque or start
ling design, but by its harmonic
relations to other buildings in the
vicinity.
Simplicity Needed
Greater simplicity, which after
all. is the surest measure Of good
taste, is needed in our architec-
ture today. The people must be
educated to appreciate such
things as simplicity and harmony,
and that is where the architect,
individually as well as through
his association can render a real
public service.
THE measure Of progreSSiveneSS
of city is the extent. that It is
interested in its orderly growth
along definite. far-Sighted plan.
In encouraging and aiding such
growth the architect, because Of
his knowledge of what has been
done by cities of the past and his
special training and detailed
knowledge of materials and the
mechanics of building. is ideally
fitted to act in an advisory Ca
pacity in planning for the future"
Mr.. Hewlett expresses the opin-
ion that Pasadena, Calf, and
Philadelphia are the two Ameri.
can cities which have worked out
a prevailing type Of residential
architecture.
Spanish Influence
philadelphia" he explains,
has done it by staying close to
the stone materials and design
which started there in the city's
early growth. Pasadena, while
entertaining adequate variety, has
achieved a distinctive type Of
building which readily shows the
influence Of Spanish and Mexi.
can architecture"
While Mr.. Hewlett places no
limit on the height of skyscrap-
erS, he asserts that any city
which is courageous enough to
hold them at a level far below
that to which they might rise.

The Washington times., 1930-03-15

Until we study the history Of
Washington, believe most Of
us fail to appreciate the wonder
full heritage that is ours in re-
siding in the Nations Capital.
Unlike the capitals Of the old
world, Washington was set aside
and deliberately planned for the
Capital Of the Nation. George
washington himself always re-
ferred to it as the Federal City.
OF It's selection, William How
ard Taft has said:
washington picked Q site for
the thousands Of years we hope
will be the measure Of our ma
tion's destiny. The capital Of no
other nation approaches 1t in the
beauty Of its situation. Nowhere
else does nature so admirably lend
itself to the embellishing touch
Of art"
Lauded by Bryce
And Viscount Bryce, formerly
Ambassador from Great Britain,
said that las capitals go, few,
indeed, are SO adVantageously
situated in respect to natural
charms as is Washington. You
have such a chance offered to
you here for building up superb
capital that it would be almost an
act Of ingratitude to Providence
and to the men who planted the
city here IL you did not use the
advantages that you here enjoy"
AS most Of you know, the city
was laid out by Major L'Enfant
under the supervision Of General
washington. Utilizing his know
ledge as a military engineer, he
laid out a city of such magnificent
proportions that even today it is
we'll adapted to the needs of the
Nations Capital. washington is
today the realization Of the vision
of George Washington.
The city Of Washington is noted
for its wonderful parks. the chief
of them being the famous Rock
Creek Park. comprising 1000
acres Of forest and stream, hill
and valley. and the Geological
Park, comprising about ITS acres.
The Potomac Park, reclaimed
from the Potomac flats. consists
Of over thousand acres devoted
to recreational facilities, available
to the rich and poor alike.
Fine School System
The educational facilities Of
Washington are unexcelled in any
city in the country.
Here we have q fine public
school system and nine colleges
and universities, from which some
of our most famous men have
graduated.
Washington particularly appeals
to the scientific man. Here are to
be found original sources Of infor-
nation for research, such as the
Library of Congress, the Smithson-
ian Institution. the Bureau of
Standards, the National Academy
Of Science, and the libraries of the
various government departments.
Again Ambassador Bryce has
said:
Washington Is, in a peculiar
sense, consecrated to society and
to higher charms Of life; in fact,
to all these things which make the
delight Of human intercourse"
