Its corridors and many of the
rooms on it's four floors are
painted a pale Williamsburg
green, contrasted with flat
white trim. Floors throughout
are a flecked, off-white tile.
Mrs. David Belts, wife of one
of the owners, was responsible
for the selection of the color
schemes, and even whipped up
some special lined drapes to
blend with her husbands office.
On the top floor is a coy in
novation: the Jefferson Club,
limited strictly to males. Only
tenants and their male guests
may use its facilities-a spa
cious fireplace set into a pine
paneled wall, deep green leath-
er wing chairs and sofa, rubbed
walnut tables suitable for card
games, among other things, etc.
An adjoining kitchen can be
used to serve meals or fix
drinks, Among the rules for
the room are that tenants are
to label their beverages and
practice the "honor" system.
Owners of the building are
Belts, his associate Milton F.
Clogg, the estate of the late
James Davis who died in a plane
crash this summer, and Adolph
Guide, jr.
Biggest tenant Of the building,
which opened for occupancy
earlier this month, is the local
business office of the Ches-
apeake & Potomac Telephone
Company of Maryland. Office
Manager Lew Brooks heads up
a staff of IL which service the
majority of the Montgomery
County.
His office is off the second
floors oval entrance foyer. On
the other side of the oval are the
offices of the law firm of Belts,
Clogg and Murdoch, which has
six rooms.
Some of the other tenants,
many attorneys, are State Sen.
ator Edward S. Northrop, Victor
Beauchamp and his Glen Con-
struction Co., Dunphy and Sand
ers, Irving Abb, and John Rit-
terpusch, all lawyers, engineer
Joe Rodgers, who is a City
Councilman, Technical Engi.
neers and Contractors, the law
firm of Hogan and Harrison, and
others.
Architect of the Jefferson
building was John F. Siam, OF
Rockville, a member of the
American Institute of Archi-
tects. Oddly enough, colonial
architecture is not Stann's ia.
vorite, from an efficiency point
of view.
Siam used reinforced con-
crete rather than steel. The roof
he designed is somewhat UNI
usual in that it has no interior
supporting pillars. Instead, the
roof is supported by a heavy
steel framework 100 feet long
and so feet across at the bottom.
The building has one self
service elevator and is air-con.
ditioned throughout. In the
rear are 80 parking spaces.

date, according to Bache Albert,
vice president.
It's position is far different
than Depression days. While
banks all over the country were
failing, Farmers issued certifi-
Gates of beneficial interest to
depositors and stockholders, and
paid back every cent by the mid
1940s-at three per cent inter-
est. Albert said Farmers was
one of the few banks in the
u. S. to do this.
While the bank probably had
only around 81 million in de.
posits in those days, Farmers
loyalty to its investors in pay
ing back funds has gained for
the institution a reputation for
utmost felicity.
Farmers is the only trust
company chartered in Montgom-
cry County. It's chairman of
the board is the presidents
father, Richard F. Green. Other
officers heading up the total
staff of IS are the two Greens,
Albert, treasurer Franklin VIII
son, and Edward Maxwell, Sec
rotary.
Albert said last week that the
bank has felt little if any effects
from the steel industry strike.
In fact, he said, the Twinbrook
branch has had to open another
teller's station to cope with
booming trade in that subdivi-
sion of Rockville.
