lecture; Samuel Homsey. former
president of the Delaware ALA
chapter. and Oscar Stonarov Of
Philadelphia. Announcement of
the winners was made in The
Stars Home Section June 25.
Today's house was designed by
the architectural firm of Keyes,
Smith, Satterlee g. Lethbridge
1t was built for Uric B. Phillips
by Ernest Cook, builder, and is
located at 1926 Raymoor road,
KenSington, Md.
Each winning house will be ex-
planned and pictured so that the
public may have a report on each
of the judges choices.
The house shown here today
was custom designed for the
particular needs of the owner
The family itself is interested in
music and this interest was
taken into consideration in the
development of the design.
The purpose Of the design was
to produce a pleasant house that
would work efficiently for parents
with children, and which would
emphasize. In its plan, the
family's interest in music, a

spokesman for the architectural
firm said.
A floor plan Of the house ap-
pears on Page b.. The plan
shows that the main body Of the
house is a rectangle, and that
an entry and a guest bedroom,
or maids room, project from it.
The house has a total of four
bedrooms, living room, a study
that also serves as music room
which is only partially separated
from the living room: a dining
play room, a kitchen-laundry,
and three bathrooms.
There's a covered porch and
la f1agstone-payed terrace off the
dining room. a fenced-in sun
court accessible from the bed
rooms. a flagstone-payed court
adjacent to the entry. and a car
port that is accessible from the
entry by a. covered walkway.
The house is all on one floor,
and has no basement.
The main part of the building
has dimensions of 81 by 65 feet.
plus the projecting entry and
guest room having maximum
dimensions of 20 by % feet.
Evening star., 1955-07-09

Altogether, there are 1850 square
feet of floor space, not including
the porch and carport.
One of the objectives of the
design was to give a central To-
cation to the kitchen and to re-
late it closely to the dining play
room.
The central location for this
much-used part of the house
was sought as a means of
cutting down on unnecessary
steps-which is often a problem
in one-floor houses-and to al
low the mother to supervise chill
dren in the playroom while she
is at work in the kitchen.
The kitchen is only partially
separated from the dining area.
A pass-through bar between
kitchen and dining area makes
serving meals easier and doubles
as breakfast space.
The music-study and living
room are partially separated
from one another by what is
basically a free-standing fire.
place that does not provide a
sound barrier between the two
rooms. The resulting large VOL
ume of space works out well ac-
coustically when a member of
the family plays a piano located
in the music room.
Acoustical reasons led the fam
lily to want a higher ceiling in
the music room and living room.
To provide this. the architects
designed an asymmetrical but

/. The record breaking s3.s bill
lion construction outlay for June
showed an increase of seven per
cent over May of this year and
rise of 13 per cent over June,
1854.
According to the Labor and
Commerce figures. virtually all
types of construction shared in
this rise for the month Of June,
but the bulk Of the increases
resulted from greater work on
homes. store buildings and high
ways.
Private construction during
June. at a total of $2.6 billion,
also set a monthly peak for the
second successive month. Public
construction activity, at $l.2 bill
lion. set a record for the month
as the highest June in that field.
Evening star., 1955-07-09

Dollar volume of new con-
Istruction during the first half
Iof this year totaled some $19.1
billion and indicates that. If the
pace is sustained, 1855 will set
an all-time high when the year
Is over.
This was revealed in prelimi-
nary estimates Of construction
work announced jointly this
week by the Labor and Com
|merce Departments. which cred-
|ited residential development with
a significant role in construction
advances.
The month Of June alone
rolled up q total Of $3.8 billion
worth of construction work to
make the highest monthly figure
on record. the departments said.
May Reach S41.7 Billion
If the $19.1 billion pace set
during the first six months con-
tinues, the departments estimate
that with allowance made for
seasonal variations 1855 will see
"a record-breaking SALT billion
worth of construction by the
end of the year.
That yearly total would be II
per cent higher than the 1915
billion that was actually spent
in 1854. which was an all-time
high for one year.
Bulwarking the likelihood of a
record year in 1854 are separate
reports from the F. w. Dodge
Corp, construction news and
marketing specialists. Their
studies of contracts awarded for
future construction in 81 States
during the first six months of
this year were the highest on
record for the first six months of
any year.
Contracts awarded for future
construction during June also
set a new high record for that
month, according to the Dodge
report.
