price-and the down payment was
only $3.50.
Today -. when these homes are
valued at three times their original
price Zone is now being offered for
$8,95O-and most other residential
property has doubled its prewar
value-let's take a look at Sycamore
Hill. And try to find the answers to
some of the questions 1t raises.
Why, for example, have values
there tripled, while the general run
of others have doubled? How much
could the same houses be built for
today? Why aren't such low-cost
houses going up now to sell at prices
rejecting today's increased costs?
Project of Brothers.
Before seeking these answers, let's
go back to 1910, when three brothers,
Cushing, Clarke and Raleigh Daniel,
launched this 45-home development
in Glen Echo Heights, Montgomery
County, 1.6 miles beyond the Dis
trict line.
Sycamore Hill was the Daniel
brothers first low-cost project. Pre-
viously they had built about 80
houses to sell at between $500 and
$4,000. Then the Federal Housing
Administration came along with a
financing plan which encouraged
construction of low-cost houses.
The Daniel brothers decided to
try their hand in the new field.
They acquired a triangular nine
acre tract at cost of $4,000. The
land was at the top of hill about
a half mile from Sycamore store,
off Macarthur boulevard.
Cape Cod Cottage Type.
Plans were drawn for a small
Cape Cod cottage-type house to
contain living room, IL by 13
feet, 2 inches; one bedroom, IL by
10 feet, Z inches; another bedroom,
9 feet. / inch by 10 feet, 7 inches;
kitchen, 8 feet, 2 inches by 8 feet;
bathroom, 5 by 8 feet, and un-
finished attic, reached by perma-
nent stairway.
Heat was to be forced warm-air.
The kitchen was to have range
and sink, but no refrigerator. Con-
struction was to be of frame ply
wood sheathing, with asbestos sid
ing. Overall dimensions were to be
Is by Is feet. Price was to be 1890,
including settlement charges, and
no extras.
