Exhibit Dwelling, Not for
Sale, Shows Advantages
Gained at Low Cost.

Last Summer the NeWbold Develop
ment Co. was approached by officials
OF the Federal Housing Administration
on the matter of producing a we'll
built, fully equipped home to sell for
less than $4,000, including an i'm
proved street and a good lot in a good
location
The answer to this "challenge" can
be seen today in Overlook, where
more than so 'carefree cottages" have
been sold. Sewer, water, gas elec-
tricity and macadam roads have been
installed. The exhibit home is locat-
ed at the entrance to the subdivision,
7777 Wisconsin avenue. Bethesda, Md.
1t was built as permanent exhibit
house and is not for sale. It is COM
pletely furnished and is open for in
spection every day from 9 am. to
opm.
The exhibit house is sample Of
the minimum home priced at s4875.
1t contains large living room with
dining bay, kitchen fully equipped with
gas range, ElectroluX refrigerator, sink
and laundry tray, built-in cabinets,
two bed rooms and bath with built-in
Tub and shower tiled. Each bed room
has large clothes closet The home
Is insulated in the side walls and on
the ceiling with Zonolite, the latest
development in insulation. The home
Is heated with Bryant gas-fred air
conditioner, which heats filters. hui
mldifles and circulates the air in Win
ter. and clrculates and filters the air
In Summer, giving very definite COOL
Ing effect.
The "carefree cottage" has at
tracted attention from all sections of
the United States. The floor plan and
arrangement Of the heating plant are
believed to be absolutely original with
the NeWbold Development Co. The
Bryant air conditioner was developed
al the request of the Newbold Devel-
opment Co. to provide a suitable air
conditioner for small home that
would do all the things that an elab-
orate, high-priced air conditioner
would do.
Another original method of design
ing and developing plans for pur-
chasers is used by the Newbold Devel-
opmenJ Co. There is a definite unit
price for each usual addition. For ex-
: ample, a fireplace can be added for
$3.50 an inclosed sun porch with
quarry tile floor and knotty white pine
panelled walls can be added for s7OO,
or the present kitchen can be made
INTO the dining room and a complete
kitchen added for $780, The fact is
That nearly every home in Overlook
mas taken advantage of some of the
various combinations of additions
This has given a variety of exterior
elevations that has removed any pos
slolllty OF monotony OF design.

murder when Court of Appeals
