Main 7166 Homes Built to Supply the Need of Those Who Would Purchase an Ultra-modern SMALL HOUSE in a BIG HOUSE Location. The many advantages to be obtained by buying in Argonne Terrace may NEVER again be combined in another Washington home development. The advantages of owning a home in Argonne Terrace are— That you own a home in a neighborhood that is restricted, will be good for years and will improve constantly. That your home is situated on the nearest residence site on the hill to the heart of the city. That your home is right at Rock Creek Park, the city’slargest and most picturesque playground. That you will receive the benefit of being adjacent to a part of Wash- ington’s best development and the constant and certain improvement of Six- teenth Street. Remember This Important Fact—The location of your home always de- cides whether your property will improve or deteriorate. The features of the houses are—Built-in Heated Garages, Real Open Fireplaces, Sun Parlors, Three Open Porches, Many Electric Plugs for Lamps, etc., and superb mural finish. These homes are correctly designed and have an appeal that recom- mends them to those who appreciate the best. The artistic mastery shown in the finish and decorations is the ultimate in home embellishment.
