Clever Designing Adds to Space
In Alexandra MuItiIeveI Home

The DR.. Paul Elsbergs. of
s14 Timber Branch parkway.
Alexandria, find they have
much more room in their multi
level home than they ever ex-
pected.
It's not done with mirrors or
extra closet space, but by clever
designing and construction.
The house goes something like
this:
Four steps below ground level
at the north end of the brick
home will be found an attrac-
tive recreation room and large,
sunny utility room.
Another seven steps brings
you to the level on which din
ing room, living room, kitchen.
porch and adjoining two-car
garage are located.
On the third level, another
eight steps from the living room.
are two bedrooms and bath. The
fourth level Cup seven steps this
time) contains the master bed
room and shower, by which time
you are at garage-roof level.
Edwin Weihe, Washington ar
chitect who designed the house,
notes:
"This house was designed to
take maximum advantage of a

special site and with a view of
holding down costs for the
builder. Through the use Of ad-
ditional half-levels, space which
ordinarily would be thrown away
in sub basement foundation
walls and attic enclosure has
been made available for use.
This device affords extra
space without increasing the
height of masonry walls and
thus makes for economy in cost
of construction.
''The plan has been carefully
studied with a view to simplify
ing its structure throughout,
both in the use Of stock mate
rials and framing lumber of
standard strength and in the
disposition of it's rooms"
Malcolm Matheson, jr., Alex
andria, contractor and developer
who built the house, estimates it
sold for under $4,000 last win
ter. The garage and porch were
added later by the owners.
Commented Mr.. Matheson,
who has built over 500 homes,
THE house has attracted more
attention than any I've ever
built"
The Elsbergs add this COM
ment: "We wouldn't trade it for

New Floor Waxer Put
On Market 10 Take
Housewife Off Knees
By D. M. Derwin

Seven out of every 10 women
still wax floors on their hands and
knees, and they will all tell you
that they hate the job.
They do it this way, because up
to now no one has ever offered
the housewife completely salts
factory and acceptable way of
waxing her floor better and more
easily.
Thousands Of housewives were
approached and asked what they
wanted in the perfect means of
waxing floors. It was found in
this survey that they want a floor
waxer that will get her off her
hands and knees-one that is self
contained, Self-dispensing, self
polishing and foolproof.
She didn't want to read a good
book of instructions but wanted
a waxer without a motor, without
cords and one that is easy to op-
crate. Among the other things
housewives are looking for is a
floor waxer that eliminates messy
work, keeps the wax off her dress,

Reveals
10000 New
1-Fami|yHo Homes.
Construction Found
Almost One-Third
Above Lost Year
By Malcolm Lomborne, Jr.


Washington area home builders
started 1880 new dwelling units
during the first half of 1850, for
the best January-June period in
local home building history.
This was disclosed today by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics on
the basis of a preliminary survey
of the area housing boom.
The Labor Department agency
said the starts so far this year
were almost one third above the
same period last year. The report
added:
"An extraordinary rate of SINGLE
family house construction, far OUT
doing apartment building, has
been maintained locally this year."
10000 One-Family Homes.
The report placed the number Of
one-family homes started at TO-
500, which it said was an advance
Of 172 per cent over the same
period last year.
Apartment housing starts, on
the other hand, were off 81 per
cent.
Further rejecting the trend to
single family units, area builders
started 2,540 such houses in June.
which BIS said set a record for
any month.
All June housing starts amounted
to 1920 units, which was 20 per
cent ahead of May but about the
same volume as in June, 1949.
Builders reported the construc-
ton cost Of privately-ow one
family houses averaged $4,000 for
the first half of the year, as
against $1,000 in the same period
last year.
Comments on Costs.
The agency had this comment
on costs:
"These averages for all the
ingle-family homes started and
do not reflect the construction
cost of a typical house. Average
construction cost is affected not
only by changes in the cost Of
materials and labor, but also by
variations in the size and de-
sign of the houses and the type
of projects started"
Prince Georges and Montgom-
cry counties continued to set the
pace in the building boom. Each
accounted for about Is per cent
of all new dwelling units author
lied by building permits issued in
the area.
Fairfax County had 10 per cent
of the total and Washington, II
per cent.
The agency noted that the em-
phasis was chiefly on the one
family house in all areas. except
Washington.
