GERMAN BUILDERS VISIT HOMES HERE Prominent Architects and Engineers Studying U. S. Construction Methods. Nine prominent German architects and building engineers toured The Star's model homes and other develop- ments in Wasrhington yesterday for the purpose of studying the iatest methods of construc architectural design. These architects and engineers, real- 1zing that the building co: dustry in Europe, and p: Germany, must und change,” are making country for the purp the methods used here. Landing in New 4 week ago they made an intensive study of many types of bulldings from the Woolworth Bullding to small apartment houses. While they were not particularly Struck with the Woolworth Building rom an.architectural point of view they were impressed with many of the large buildings in New York. Their chief interest fs in housing. They were loud in their praise of the beauty of Washington. and the design and construction of the new 1ses now heing built here.

They were amazed that here, with a population_of aprpoximately 500,000, bulldings last year. They were also amazed that a row of houses which im- pressed them very much could be erected in 60 or 90 days. They constantly remarked on the fact that praetically the humblest workman on the job arrived in his own car. “Nothing like that in Ger- many,” they declared. The visitors were mainly interested |in the houses ranging around $10.000 | ana made a_thorough study of many such operations as The Star's model i row houses, Foxhall Village, Burleith, new Petworth developments and others. | Zoning and butlding code regula- tions interested them. They explained that German regulations in many in- stances demanded more fire protection and exactness in construction. According to the visitors plumbing | and_electrle wiring is not installed - | until the house is completed in Ger- many. This calls for an immense amount of extra work. They were particularly impressed with the method here of putting in_electric lights, wirlng and pumbing pipes as the buildings progress. The party will make an extended tour of the large cities of the West and Middle West.
