Foxhall Village is a_village in the city, beautifully landscaped, ‘with interesting, park-like streets, only seven minutes from Dupont Circle. In the beginning we procured the services of James E. Cooper, Esq., the best architect in the city for this type of work, and since then we have striven to put the best of everything into our homes, as it is our intention to continue with Foxhall Village for years to come, making it a community of which the Nation's Capital may justly be proud. Values in a community of this kind are bound to be maintained.” Sections where anyone can build anything he wants, inevitably become sections of inharmonious architecture which soon grow tiresome,and commonplace. Today the need is for interestingly built houses) In Foxhall Village you ‘can find them, at a price lower than in any other section of From the start w(wll;:ve tried 1o ‘see how well we could do the work, rather than how cheaply and hur- mmunity for home owners who would appreciate artistically designed and substantially r live in the Village for years to.come. We wanted to, and we are, building a per- manent community for permanent people who take an active interest in their homes. We believe a visit to Foxhall Village will reveal something you\ne\'er dreamed existed in Washington. The Vil- lage is being devéloped for those who appreciate and demand better and more beautiful homes. beams and columns in these houses run from the basement to the ceiling of the third story, and the bathroom floors are reinforced with steel. The windows are of plate glass, and every door and window sill is of natural stone. stone in the fronts of the houses is hand carved. . Every window and door frame is caulked, and all casement ‘windows have copper_weather strips. The houses of the new group now being completed on 44th Street between Que Street and Greenwich Parkway, and known as the Gloucestershire Group, contains a 1 with shower. Bathroom and kitchen walls are covered with - Sanitas, which gives them a permanent, lifetime finish. 28 compared with $2,445,956,700 for the first eight months of 1928, a slight de- crease of 8 per cent, not now exist is being actively urged by the American Institute of Architects.
