Business Buildings Change
To Modernized Fronts

cost of remodeling new fronts IS
that the building is usually built
right up to the front property line
of the lot. and. therefore, does not
leave any room for revamping
without tearing down the whole
front and rebuilding it a little
back from the property line as
may be required for the desired
change and effect.
The result of this condition is
an economic loss to the owner OF
the property in the form of re-
ductions in rent, or in increased
vacancies, or a combination OF
these, to say nothing of the losses
growing out of a constant chang
ing of tenants. The district as a
whole suffers an unsettled and un
stabilized business condition that
tends to impair property values,
and may even result in shifting
of the business center to a new
location. Such a condition is IN
wholesome and is never good for
business.

HOME BUILDING
BIC INDUSTRY

One of the first industries
established on the American con-
tinent by the colonists was that
having to do with the construc-
ton of buildings necessary to
residence in these new lands.
In general during the inter
vening years and especially during
the Twentieth Century, that
branch of the construction indus
try engaged in the creation of
commercial buildings has been
placed on an efficient basis, fol-
lowing, in many respects, the
mass production plan of other
industries. In home construction,
however, there has been a
marked resistance to mass pro-
duction methods due, largely, to
forces of individualiSm common
in the United States, and in
probably no other of the great
branches of national endeavor
are costs so out of proportion to
the income of the consumer.
America is essentially a nation
Of home-oWnerS and, according to
the Bureau of the Census, a.
002.074 families, or 46.8 per cent
of the total number of families,
owned their own homes in the
year 1880. Significantly, 45.2 per
cent of the non-farm families
owned their homes in that year
as compared with 37.1 per cent,
in the year 1910, and 40 per cent
in the year 1920.

One Job q Year Good
WdY to MOdernize

Many home owners have dis
covered that it is not necessary
to wait until they have saved a
large sum of money before they
begin to remodel or repair their
homes. BY doing little each
year they can pay for the work
from their incomes and enjoy the
improvements as they go along.
BY remodeling in this fashion
many home owners have been
able to make their old homes as
modern and attractive as newer
structures without going into debt.

The last few years has witnessed
marked architectural changes in
downtown business buildings Of al
most all types whether one or
more stories in height. These
changes have been largely con-
fined to architectural fronts with
a strong tendency toward the
stream-line effects. This condi-
ton is a common one in the older
portions of most of our cities,
with the result that many struc-
turally sound buildings have be-
come prematurely obsolescent, and
almost wholly because of the store
fronts becoming out of date. To
change these fronts is often too
expensive to be considered by the
owner because it frequently in
wolves changing more than just
the front, with the result that the
owner caves it as it is and takes
his income loss as a natural course

Significance Seen in Survey

Building modernization work

that year almost $2OO,OOO,0OO was
expended on the modernization
