Now it is equipping itself with a num- ber of roof gardens intended only for the persons whose offices or domictles are beneath. Other cities, where land is too valu- able for gardens at street levels and purk spaces are few and small, are having a similar development on their roofs.

And when you compare the quality of materials and workmanship, the tastefulness of the appointments and the ex- clusiveness of your surroundings with what the same money could possibly buy you elsewhere, you begin to appreciate what a wonderful value a suite in this incomparable building represents! The City’s last “infown” suburb is no budding community of speculative growth. Experts do not question the realty values of Woodley Park. Its place as Washington’s really exclusive residential center is no guess or dream; it is a sound fact, as a glance at the map below will prove. Consider, for example, the size of your rooms. In the apartment illustrated you have a living room approximately 15 ft. by 16 ft.,, a dining salon 12 ft. by 13 ft., two bed chambers averaging 12 ft. by 14 ft. and a porch 9 ft. by 16 ft. Lven the well equipped kitchen is 8 ft. by 12 ft. Here is a typical suite selling for $12,000 — Terms arranged Nearly all of this magnificent structure is now owned and occupied by prominent Washing- tonians; only a few suites remain available. For a fair and reasonable price, on conveniently arranged terms of payment, you can purchase a home in the choicest environment and the most desirable residential district of the National Capital, where a separate house of similar size would cost you anywhere from 100% additional up. Gl Its bright charm as a place to live is felt as soon as seen, when you follow its winding roadways. Not yet sold are seven-room homes (with two baths and built-in garage) for $2,500 cash, $125 monthly, selling for $17,500. There are larger types up to $32,500. Those things most desired by people of culture are to be found in the homes and environs of Woodley Park. There is food for serious thought in these facts!
