ROCK CREEK STAR HOME OPENS TODAY English-Norman Style Resi- dence Is Third in Series This Year. Washington today will have fhird opportunity of this year to make a study of a home bullt as a monstration of the value of care- I planning and permanent construc- tlon methods, as well as of the many benefits of home ownership, when The Star model home in Rock Creek Park Estates will be thrown open for one month of free public inspection. Construction of this house, located on Orchid street about one block north of Kalmia road, was completed during the past week, fully equipped and furnished throughout and having the appearance of a home occupied for some time erate size. containfng seven réoms, and is an illustration Tural type dwelling fashioned along the most interesting and be: found in the English and Norman country house styles. Tt is of a com- bination of stone, brick and stucco construction. Public Is Invited. A cordial invitation is extended to householders, prospective home cwn- ers and all others interested to visit the home today or any day during the ensuing month to inspect the house and its ektensive landscaped grounds in search of points applicable to their individual needs or tastes. The house wiil be open from noon until about 8:30 p.m. daily, and a rep- resentative of the firm of Edson W Briggs. builder of the home, will be on hand to receive all visitors, who Wwill be permitted to roam about the place at will. ' This is the third of the four demon- Stration houses sponsored this year by The Star and the Home Owners' Institute. The “Estates™ ated on a commanding site on great knoll rising to the mnorth of Kalmia road, and is reached via the sweeping curve of Orchid street, which affords a changing perspective of the lace as one approaches the house. ated thus on a plot of outstanding e minence, the silhouette of the whole ullding was given careful study, that it might fit well into its setting, and the result was the selection of a type that would give a rather low and rambling effect with the solidity of the design emphasized by the broad base of the masonry walls and the unitel feeling of the roof lines. The effect of the house from close dnspection is one of simplicity. The texture of the exterior walls adds to this effect as do aiso the shape of the windows, the faintly perceptible pat- tern work in the soft-toned brick of the walls, the quiet color of the outside ‘woodwork and the roofing. The archi- tectural style suggests the blending of the English and Norman country house types without being literal copies of either of these historic mo- tives. The grounds of the place were carefully landscaped, with garden, re- flecting :pool, arbor, shrubbery and spacious - umbroken rtions of the lawn as features of the plan. e emtrance walk and the garage driveway have been located as far apart as possible to emphasize the main No stooping over to lock the transmission—no fumbling in the shadows for an ignition lock. Just shut off the ignition, turn a key, on the Buick steering column—and your car is double-locked. Ignition is locked, and steering wheel is locked. Theft is made doubly difficult—so extremely diffi- cult, in fact, that insurance underwriters have granted the lowest theft rates on Buick for 1928. No lock could be safer! One turn of the key locks both ignition and steering wheel.
