could not be neglected forever. Char
new appreciators. 1t was Jane Austen,
Sir Walter Scott, Goethe and Victor
Hugo who first called attention to the
surviving relics of the middle ages and
reafflrmed their aesthetic Importance.
But the larger credit is due to William
Morris and John Ruskin. It was their
privilege to find, fight for and make
popular again the Gothic theme. The
pre- -Raphaelite brotherhood did its
part under their inspiration.
Sir Charles Barry, Augustus Pugin,
Philip Hardwick and Sir Gilbert Scott
were the builders who earliest proftted
by the literary propaganda. They were
succeeded by DR.. G. F. Bodley and
Henry Vaughan. FIRST architects Of
Washington Cathedral.
The Right Rev. Henry Yates Sat
terlee, first Bishop Of Washington,
sign for the aenc ehureh WHICH A1Vs he WISHED ned
to build to accommodate his diocesan
chair. Only gradually had his mind
inclined toward q Gothic alternative.
He made several trips to Europe to
study the possibilities and did not reach
final decision until 1906. On the eve
ming of June ~, 1907, he called to-
gether at his house on Thomas Circle
the 10 members of the Cathedral
council and the 13 members of the
Cathedral chapter or Board of Trustees
and submitted to them the drawings
prepared by Bodley and Vaughan. The
Star Of the following day printed the
story with appropriate Illustrations.
Thus the die was cast. The Right Rev.
Alfred Harding second bishop, and the
Right Rev. James z. Freeman, third
bishop. succeeded the first master
builder. carrying on his dream.
Decorated Gothic"
However, changes were necessary as
conditions altered. For example, the
original plan called for a church with
out choir and nave aisles, and the
apse was built before those features
were added-with the result that the
sanctuary does not have direct aisle
approaches. Again, Frohman. Robb
& Little, the present architects, felt
1t advisable to enrich the design Of
the south TRANSCRIPTS built. it re-
fleets the spirit Of the sixteenth CEN
tury, rather than the fourteenth. The
west front likewise will show richer
type Of adornment than initially was
planned.
In tecnnlcal language, the completed
edifice will be predominantly decorated
Gothic. closely allied in style to Glou-
cester and Canterbury Cathedrals. II
will have the qualities of aspiration
and reticence which mark the best
period of medieval art. 1t will not be
overly ornate nor extravagant in any
way.
The influence Of the Cathedral prof.
ect already is apparent in its en-
vironment. Alban Towers, for instance,
shows the Gothic line in its elevation
and trimmings. Even Woodley Towers,
a mile away, reflects the general con-
ception of the> Gothic motif AS the
Wisconsin avenue neighborhood de-
! velops and the Cathedral itself ap-
| proaches completion. the effect. it may
be presumed, will be abundantly mani
| fest.

~ ESIGNED for a sloping piece Of
wooded property, the house
plan presented today by Donald
- S. johnson, architect, Is an
American adaptation of the
Norman French farm house. 1t is an
other in the series of home ideas drawn
for The Star by group Of Washington
architects.
THE most interesting feature of the
exterior" says Mr.. Johnson, is the
contour of the roofs, which follows the
natural slope Of the property. Thus
the living quarters, at the south END
of the plan. are several feet above the
living room. which in turn is foot
above the dining room. The garage Is
at still lower level.
The construction is adaptable to
several types of material although the
most fitting for the general character
of the design would be native stone
or very rough-teXtured white-Washed
brick. II the latter were used Brit
tany shingle tile roof would be appro-
PIRATE: otherwise simple black slate
would be more effective.
The living room forms the main
axis of the house and is open to the
roof rafters and trusses. On the en-
trance end of the room is a large win
motif. and at the opposite end Is a
pair Of French doors leading on to
large flagstone terrace The stair tower
to the left of the French doors forms
an interesting corner of the garden
elevation Constructed Of hand-hewn
timber and secondhand brick, it ter1ni-
mates at the top in the form of
dormer window. This stair leads to
secondary suite of rooms and bath.
Beside the massive stone fireplace
one passes through an arched opening,
down into the dining room. A large bay
window to the east and overlooking
the terrace is the feature. The walls
are paneled wainscot high and the
ceiling Is heavily beamed. A two-car
garage. with servants quarters over.
terminates this side of the house and
is turned at an obtuse angle in order
to make an easy approach to the ga
rage. The excavated portion of the
basement extends under the kitchen
and dining room only. thus reducing
| the cubical contents considerably"
The architect feels this design could
easily be made to conform to the Eng
lish traditions rather than the French
by certain variations In detail and ma
terial.
The estimated cost of this house Is
between $4,000 and $40 900.

Further in its report the committee
found the problem is so immense that
it is believed nothing short of an agen-
cy sponsored by the Government in
some form, to provide for long-term
mortgage finance at low interest rates
and with reasonable amortization
which would relieve the demand for
first mortgage liquidation and enable
savings banks and mortgage companies
to provide capital for new housing when
required can cope with it."

ton included A. C. Houghton, presi-
dent Of the Washington Real Estate
