(Just One Block West of Connecticut Ave.) (From the Washington Herald of May 2nd, 1926 ) YiTQ\LTeYi 78\ _ T. A. McArn, general manager of Aurora Hills Homes, Inc., owners and developers of Aurora Hills, in Virginia, ventures the rather startling opinion that within five years seven families of every ten will live in detached homes. (AT o\irpY In a recent discussion of the modern housing trend, Mr. McArn said: a7gVive 77 “If you have noticed the recent tendency in automobiles you know that the big emphasis is being put on the closed models. Just a few years ago the open models predominated. Now there is a wild race among manufacturers to produce the most comfortable and economical closed model, and some of the larger manufacturers are not building an open car at all. Of course, the reason for this is that the great majority of families can afford only one car, and naturally they prefer a model that in unpleas- ant weather protects them against the elements, but which in pleasant weather can be thrown open as wide as the touring car. The closed car is the only vehicle of all- around utility. 727, Yi7g\aTy 7 MY ViTaviTeY pYi \ \ N . § \ § N o “Well, the same condition applies to home demand, and the detached house offers the homeseeker what the closed car offers the prospective automobile buyer. BODD “There can be no question of the superior desirability of the detached house for the average family. In the first place, no matter what brains are put to work it is an impossibility to invest any one of a row of houses with individuality. Try as hard as they have, from Pomander Walk on down through its imitations, no builder has ever been able to produce a row house that stands clear of iamese sisters. \When you look at a house in a row, your first thotightis for the row, not the individual house unit. And, of course, in detached houses of the intelligently designed type no such problem. presents itself. This exceptional residence, located in such delightful surroundings, was built by day labor for the present owner. The exquisite taste of the finish and plan will surpass your highest expectations. Iz YaYi Then, again, there is the most important matter of light and ventilation. Tt is obvious that the detached house is the only type that permits proper lighting. But ven- tilation is even more iim~ortant, particularly for Summer consideration. In our climate, no house is of ideal d« _3n unless each room in it has cross-ventilation, so that advan- tage may be taken of every breeze that blows. The properly designed detached house permits this; no other type does. Here in Aurora Hills we insist on it, for we know that the improper airing of a house can take twenty-five per cent from its livability. 2 AT8Xa T0Yi 1@YaTeNi) 722 10 Rooms—3 Baths—2-Car Garage You must see these most charming Homes—creating a wonderfully attractive community— Your Inspection Invited Breuninger, Pedersen Co. 1627 K St. N.W.
