B—4 REAL ESTATE. ROW HOUSES GET INDIVIDUAL STYLE Announce New Construction Plans on Dwellings in T Street Development. A varied style of architecture, under which the elevation of each house in the row is to be given individual treat- ment, is to be employed by Cooley Bros. in their new development on T street, where construction of 17 dwellings has just been started, it was revealed to- day in announcement of plans for the houses. ‘The houses, being erected on T street between Thirty-eighth and Thirty- ninth streets, will be of a character in keeping with the new trend of things in the National Capital, which has set a pace for other sections of the country in_the treatment of the row houses.

Bungalows Help in Overcoming The origin of the modern bungalow has been attributed by some enthusiasts to India, where it is a one-story build- ing with a veranda and a projecting roof, but now about the only relation our one-story house bears to India is its name. Certainly the idea of a one- story house has not been restricted to Eastern lands, for we have countless ex- amples of this type of home in Eng- land, France and other European coun- tries. In England and France they are called cottages. In fact, until recent ' BEAUTIFUL 13th ST. N.W.

One-story houses have attained great popularity in this country, due prin- cipally to the work of architects on the Pacific Coast. They have borrowed from European small houses many different bits of architecture. These exteriors have been adapted to our use with plans that supply all the modern de- mands of the American style of 1f A Perhaps their greatest advantage lfes in the fact that stairs have been elimi- | nated and some of the difficulties of The Garden Spot REAL ESTATE. housekeeping thereby overcome. Archi- tects also have devi ments for these houses in living quarters are separated rooms that would normally be in the that dmmm e R at a low must meet. el- ther bed: OO ing rooms. Since bungalows must be, in fact, adaptations to the one-story house of most of the accommodations found in two-story dwellings, one of the quali- ties of the bungalow is compactness of plan. This, however, is not always true, for in certain types of bungalows rooms are made to ramble out pleasantly en- closing courtyards or patios, but in bungalows of smaller size compactness is of first consequence. For this purpose, especially in the very small bungalows, dining and living Wesley Beinhts of Washington fi M dining }»In:g‘. are arranged commodious alcoves are in the kitchen so that all but the most formal meals may be served there. Halls and vestibules must be reduced to the minimum. Even the front entrance leads directly into the living foom. The kitchen and service quarters are replete with labor-saving devices. Anti-Shark Net for Bathers. ‘To save the popularity of swimming which has been threatened by the prev- alence of sharks in the vicinity, resort owners near Sydney, Australia, have stretched strong metal nets around the bathing places to keep the tigers of the sea away. The nets are weighted at the bottom to keep the sharks from swimming underneath.
