This row of houses is now beginning to take shape . the various architectural and structural features that have been clouded by scaffolding and other temporary arrangements are. now be- coming more prominent. Practically all of the masonry has been com- pleted and the houses' have been top- ped out. i ‘The facade of this fow presents a picture strikingly different from that of the ordinary row house operation.

'This Is cleverly accomplished with a combination of rubble stone, Spring garden red brick and Mme- stone trimmings. A number of the houses have octagon-shaped bay win- dows, some of them rubble stone porches and others have stone insets, to give the desired varjation. All of the rough plumbding work has THE_.
