special showing today.
This new stone masonry home
erected by the Seidle organiza-
ton in beautiful Belle Haven,
Va, is attracting the attention
OF hundreds Of people from
washington and suburbs. Solid
stone masonry. properly laid up.
Is an innovation in the small
home in this section of the coun-
try. The common workman can
lay I'D a brick wall, but it takes
an expert to properly lay up a
stone wall. and in the Seidle or
ganization are some of the most
expert stone masonS in the entire
country, masonS who have worked
on some of the outstanding
Shrines and memorials through
out the Eastern section OF the
United States.
Not only must the stones be
cut to fit perfectly, but they
must be selected to blend prop
erly in their coloring. and must
be laid up with the proper
amount of cement so that the
whole wall presents a perfect
picture in harmony, symmetry
and coloring.
Thick Stone Walls
The old Cotswold cottages pre-
sent some fine examples Of ancient
masonry, the walls being from ID
to "a inches thick. The beautiful
homes built by the Seidle organl-
cation in Belle Haven are a mod
ern adaptation Of this type OF
architecture with the quaint
dormer windows to light the up
per floor rooms. To those who
love the quaint and picturesque,
these delightful little homes will
appeal because Of their architec-
tural lines and their solid ma
Sonry construction.
In the old Cotswold cottages
the floor Of the first floor was
tagged, generally at random, but
ofttimes in some simple pattern.
In the modern Seidle homes the
floors are beautifully parquetted.
The old.time cottage would
sometimes have partitions Of pan
eled oak, the ceilings being rough
plastered or beaned with joists Of
elm or oak. The visitor will find
the modern adaptation of this
practice in these Belle Haven
homes.
Superior Construction
The Seidle organization Is proud
Of the superior construction OF
the new type of homes which
they are building in this lovely
section of suburban Washington
and are in hopes that every resi-
dent of the city will drive out the
Memorial Highway and thor
oughly inspect the finished prod.
uct of their handiwork.
Every feature of these homes
has been thoughtfully planned
and carefully constructed so that
every portion Of the home is Of
substantial worth and character.
and yet can be offered at a price
that will meet the requirements
Of the person of average means.
