Architects Score Use of
Colonial Interiors

The use of Colonial interiors as
museum trophies is denounced as
a prostitution of national ideals
by DR.. Leicester B. Holland, chair
man of the committee on preser-
vation of historic buildings of
the American Institute of Archi-
tects, in a statement issued by
the institute yesterday. DR.. Hol-
land said:
'1t is a rather shOddy and
uncultural act to destroy the
native heirlOOms of any COM
munity to titilIate the Senti-
mentalitieS of casual wanderers
weary of looking at great works
of art"
DR.. Hollands protest was
aroused by a museums recent
attempt to purchase a paneled
room in Charleston, S. c. The
prospective purchaser sought the
aid Of Albert Simons, of Charles
ton. described as an "inflexible
defender Of our early American
architecture" who told him he
was opposed in principle to any
antiquities being sold out of the
city. SimonS is president of the
South Carolina Chapter of the In

public inspection by the william
H. Saunders Company, Inc, with
offices in the Investment Build

This artistic home is located at
1900 Juniper st. N. W., in Shep-

downspouting complete the inter
esting exterior.
Situated on a splendid lot, the
structure commands a view ex-
tending through a beautiful resi-
Dental operation running from
AlSaka Avenue and Kalmia Road
to Juniper Street, and is close to
the new school erected in this
neighborhood.
AS the outer construction salts

dwelling. Front entrance is had
through a pretty covered porch
into a reception hall with closet,
leading to a large, pleasant living
room with stone open fireplace
and a cozy bay window seat ar
ranged. over the radiator. It's
windows, like those of the entire
house, are of the efficient Fenes-
ira easement make, in steel. The
