Low-Cost Units
Favor Reflected
In Sales

The low-cost Silver Star Home
at 3424 Dix street NE. River Ter
race, tomorrow will enter the fourth
and final full week of its exhibi-
ton period.
Several thousand people have in
spected the house since it was first
opened three weeks ago. In this
time nearly two-score houses and
building jobs have been sold. This
record for home sales illustrates
well public approval of the Silver
Star Homes Committees current
choice.
Offering six rooms at cost un-
der $4,000. the new home was erect
ed by Davy and Murphy from plans
drawn by George T. Santmyers. 1t
has been completely furnished in
cooperation with Lansburgh &
Bro. The first floor contains liv-
ing room. dining room and kitchen
There are three bedrooms and at
tractive bath on the second floor.
There's also full basement.
The structure is the fourth in
the 1899 series of Silver Star Homes.
Its presentation marked the first
time The Stars award had ever
been given lost-cost dwelling.
For years a topic of conversation.
the lost-cost home has become q
reality in Washington only during
the last year and half. Since
passage of amendments to the Ma
tional Housing Act providing for a
10 per cent down payment and a
25-year amortization period in
February last year, hundreds of
small homes have been built in the
District and nearby Virginia and
Maryland. 1t has resulted in a
boom" for the Northeast and
Southeast sections of the city. Few
builders, however, have put out a
six-room house at a price COM
parable to The Stars home.
Inc house is constructed of spe-
elal hollow-face brick which add
greatly to the insulating and wa
ferprooflng quality Of the walls
River Terrace builders are able to
obtain low costs through quantity
buying of materials and systematized
methods Of construction. Section
allied forms are used for the poured
concrete basement walls. A trained
crew OF men assemble the homes
with minimum of waste effort.
Steel easement windows are used
throughout the house. while the
floors are of oak. Rock wool was
placed in the roof to insure against
heat loss. The house is heated by
an automatic oil burner equipped
for winter air conditioning. This
unit has fan which may be used
for circulation of air in summer.
The builders have installed in
spection windows in the walls of the
house which have proved of spe-
cial interest to visitors. These win
dows enable examination of wall
construction.
Endorsement of the Silver Star
Homes Committee was given the
River Terrace house The five hous-
ing experts who make up this COM
mittee examined the house thor
oughly before giving their approval.
River Terrace may be reached by
driving out Benning road from Fiji
teenth and H streets NE. Continue
over Anacostia River bridge to Thir-
tv-fourth street and follow signs
