PN determining the reason for the success of these Homes we find that size, location and price are important factors, but, in addition to both, the minute you see them you realize the air of refinement produced by perfect architectural bslance and com- petent finishing. It is an outstanding fact now that Washington has never had anything quite like them. In design they are Arthur B. Heaton's conception of what a pure Colonial Home should be. He is a recognized authority. In construction they are the result of years.of study of Home Building. The fact that they are entirely removed from the common- place establishes value and will maintain it. The corner Homes have five (5) bedrooms and three (3) baths, living rooms the full depth of the ~ home. The other Homes have four (4) bedrooms and two (2) baths, besides big living rooms and an extra club room on the main floor of each home, this latter being something entirely new in Home designing. Hot-water heat: electric lights; big front and rear . porches; linen closets. Also an unfinished third floor (space for two extra rooms). All closets are equipped with shoe racks. Bear in mind also that these Homes are completely detached— not in a row—though their selling price is less than that of row houses. Washington's most convenient suburban loca- tion. appealing especially to a busy business man, and equally to the wife who wishes to rear the chil- dJren in the right environment. 14th and Ingraham Streets To inspect—Take Fourteenth street car (un- questionably the best service in Washington) to In- graham street, or drive out Sixteenth street to Colorado avenue, then one square to Ingraham street.

The location of Arms- leigh Park —between Cleveland Park and Chevy Chase—is un- paralled in or around ‘Washington —in con- venience and character — while the Homes themselves will appeal to you as the most modern and practical in equipment - you have seen.
