Unequaled TWO-STORY BRICK HOME POPULAR IN BALTIMORE Survey Reveals 2,825 Such Dwell- ings Erected During 11 Months of 1924. Special Dispatch to The Star. BALTIMORE, December 13.—The two- story brick house is the most popular in Baltimore, according to figures compiled by the bullding inspector. While permits for these run into the thousands, there are few thre tory buildings. During the 11 months ending X vember 30, permits were issued for the erection of 2,825 two-story brick dwellings. ‘These - will cost about $12,750,000. In the same period only nine permits were issued for three- story brick bulldings, to cost about $250,000. The two-story frame cottage runs a close second to the brick one. Permits for these aggregated 1,891, and will cost about $9,500,000. Of the three- story frame buildings there are only three, which cost about $42,000. Bullding garages, installing gnso- line tanks and erecting brid has grown to be a big item. There were 3,715 permits issued for these, which will cost nearly $5,000,000. The building industry made strides in 1924, and will total about $55,000,000 for the year.
