EAL FOUNTAIN T0 ADD T05. U, BEAUTY Medical and Dental School Building Landscaping Plans Are Revised. Revised plans for the extensive land- gcaping that is being done to beautify the natural surroundings of the nearly | completed Medical and Dental School Building for Georgetown University, on the south side of Reservoir road, in- clude a large fountain in the center of @ sunk=n garden. The fountain was the idea of Dr. W | Coleman Nevils, president of George- | town, who personally is supervising the | Jandscaping program to harmonize with the future plans of the city to make Reservoir road a broad boulevard. | The site of the fountain is to be on the east side of the big $1,000,000 medi- cal building and its spouting water will be plainly visibl, from Thirty-ffth strect, a distance oY about a quarter of a mile. The Georgetown Visitation Con- vent owns the land adjoining the Med- | ical School grounds, so no building will be erected to obstruct the view. Builg in H Form. The Medical Building is constructed in the form of the letter H, its two main wings being practically 260 feet in length. In the ample space pro- vided between the two wings on the east side will be constructed the foun- tain and sunken garden, ap-roached by a driveway. Excavation for the driveway leading to Reservoir road and for the terraces | and steps utilized in the front entrance- ay has been a considerable undertak- ing and is now well advanced. Situated on a plateau high above the level of the road, the only convenient method of ap- proach by automobile is through a winding roadway. This drive will ex- tend around the building and eventually will connect with another that is to lead into the proposed park west of the building for which the Government al- ready has purchased the land. Campus Is 180 Feet Wide. ‘The pedestrians’ entrance to the #chool will be through an ornamental gate and the grounds facing Reservoir road will be inclosed in a brick wall over which ivy is to be grown. The campus immediately in front of the building will be about 180 feet in breadth, the slope leading gradually by a series of terraces to granite steps. Plentiful shrubbe; is to be planted around the buildi and parking space. Dr. Nevils hopes the water from the fountain will spout to a height of 25 feet. The building is entering its final stages of completion. Equipment for the dental department already is beinx installed and this department will be the first to open, about February 1 or before. The spacious site on Reservoir road, owned for years by the university, was enlarged by the addition of another strip of land adjoining the proposed Rock Creek parkway which will con- nect with Canal street. On this site Georgetown University is proposing to - establish eventually a new hospital building and chemo-research laboratory. ‘The medical-dental building, directiy across the road from the estate of Mrs. Anne Archbold, is the first building de- velopment on the south s'de of Reservoir yoad between Thirty-fifth street ana Foxall Village. pRES Y A Realty Company Incorporates.

BANK T0 ERECT BRANCH BUILDING New Structure of McLachlen! Corporation to Be of Georgian Style. A new branch office structure for the | McLachlen Banking Corporation is to | be erected at 306-312 Fourteenth street southwest, opposite the Bureau of En graving and Printing, according to announcement today by Lanier P. Mc- Lachlen, president of the company. Because of the location of the site on the arterial highway from Virginia and the belief that all public and semi- public buildings should carry out the traditional architectural style of the National Capital, it is stated, the branch bank is to be of Georgian style. The new structure will replace the branch bank of the corporation at 1350 B street southwest, which has been con- demned for Government development purposes. The main office of the bank is located at the corner of Tenth and G streets. It is expected the new structure will be completed early in the Spring, when the branch will move into its new home. ) The building is to be 50 feet by 70 feet, one story in height, with a mezzanine floor. An adjoining wing of the structure is to house a private garage and boiler room. The first-floor space is to be subdivided, the bank occupying approximately three-fifths of | the area and the remainder to be leased. It is planned so that the partition could be removed, leaving a symmetrical room for banking purposes. ‘The building will have a quaint ap- pearance created by the employment of a large chimney at either side of the building, steeply sloping roof of black slate and a white cupola rising above the ridge of the roof. The facade will have a base of black polished granite and will be finished | with seam-faced granite having a mix- | ture of warm and light tones, with a tan color predominating. The doorway, cornice and other trim | will be of buff limestone. In the soffit panels of the cornice will be rosettes, each with a light bulb as its conter, R dOM Ownership ; Rental Cost Washington!

A resolution recently passed by the | Outdoor Advertising_ Association at its | ! annual convention looks toward har- mony between billboard interests, civic | | improvement, projects and those organ- | izations seeking to protect property val- ues. The resolution asks that the De- | partment of Commerce make a survey | | Qutlining the manner in which adver- | tising companies should proceed in | | suburban communities. | The resolution suggests that the De- | partment of Commerce secure the aid of | the Chamber of Commerce of the United | tates, the National Association of Real | | Estate Boards, the American Hotel As- | | sociation, the Association of National Advertisers, the Art Center of New York | and the National Federation of Wom- | en’s Clubs in making its recommenda- | ons to the advertisers. The National Association of Real | | Estate Boards four years ago placed { itself on record as opposed to outdoor | advertising of such a nature that it de- | stroys scenic beauty and lowers prop- erty values. At the annual convention of this organization, held last June, in Boston, at a special conference on out- | door advertising, a resolution was passed | asking the Department of Commerce | to make a survey of present outdoor advertising. A memorial to Thofnas Hardy is to be erected at the western entrance of Dorchester, England.
