REAL ESTATE WASHINGTON, Foening Star, WITR SUNDAY MORNING EDITION SATURDAY, MAY 31, SCORES CONTINUE VISITS TO STAR MODEL HOMES Preparation of Two Remaining Houses of 1930 Series to Be Finished Soon, First a Week From Tomorrow, Second in July. Hundreds of citizens of Greater Washington continue to- visit the three 1930 model homes being sponsored by The Star in co-oper- ation with the Operative Builders' Association, which were opened recently, while preparation of the two remaining homes of the series continues steadily. The charming home erected at 1325 Locust street, in the North- gate section, one block north of Kalmia road and three blocks east of Sixteenth street, the fourth of the series, will be opened for a month of exhibition a week from tomorrow and the last of the series, in Wesley Heights, will be ready for its month of showing on sched- ule the middle of July. 5 The Northgate dwelling, erected by the North Washington Realty Co. is of the fashion of the eighteenth century style of English country-side home, a large two-story house of whitewashed brick construction, containing eight major rooms in an unusual floor plan, situated on a triangular lot spotted with monumental trees that tower far above the roof of the house.

I | | OF FIRST TWO 1930 STAR MODEL HOMES 1930, BUILDING NEWS B-1 COLONIAL TREND FEATURES HOUSE Star Model Home Is Pleas- ingly Furnished in Style of 1775 to 1825. Furnishings of the American Colo- nial and cotemporary English style of 1775 to 1825 provide a pleasing interior treatment to the English group house at 1509 Forty-fourth street, the second of the series of 1930 Star model homes, now on display. It was erected for the exhibition by Waverly Taylor, Inc. Entering the house through a “hood- ed” porch, one finds the Colonial feel- ing expressed in the entrance hall, whose wallpaper design is a copy of an early hand-blocked plece of wallpaper. Up a step from the hall level, the visitor enters the living room, across the front of the house, with walls of a Colonial yellow, which repeats in its character the background of the hall paper. The woodwork of the room is toned to match the wall treatment. Curtains Add Warmth. At the small-paned windows curtains of an old English chintz with flowers of apricot and corn yellow and blue- green foliage on a mahogany ground give warmth and set the color scheme for the room and' for the house. It covers also a wing chair at the foot of the stairway. A large overstuffed sofa in green stands near it against the wall with pillows of the flowered chintz and others of deep mahogany satin. Above it, a portrait of an early Amer- ican gentleman gives another rich note of color in the deep copper red drapery of its background. Flanking the sofa are tables, a round one with a tripod base and a smaller table with drawers and a harp pedestal base. Both of these are copies of originals by Dun- can Phyfe. The fireplace shows exquisite detail in its carving. Above it hangs a cir- cular convex mirror in a dull gold frame. This mirror reflects the Shera- ton secretary against the opposite wall. This piece is flanked by chairs of Chip- pendale design, covered in copper bro- catelle, a color once more taken from the chintz, Facing the sofa, on one side of the fireplace, is an armchair of the Martha Washington design covered in a stripe combining the mahogany and green tones of the chintz. Nearby a simple side chair is silhouetted against the wall, where hang old prints and sil- houettes. Through & wide arch one may go up green carpeted steps to the second floor or passing a high grandfather clock step into the dining room, the double French doors of which give a view into the wooded ravine beyond. Use Old-Fashioned Wallpaper. ‘True to the Colonial tradition, the dining room has a dado with a simple chair rail, above which is a landscape paper in cream and soft green tones. ‘The dado below the chair rail is painted the same shade of soft green and gives an interesting color effect. The furni- ture in this room is in copy of Duncan Phyfe pieces. The walls of the master bed room are covered in an old-fashioned wall- paper with flowers in apricot and green on a cream ground. At the triple win- dows, against the ruffied net curtains, are over-curtains of plain apricot, which is found again in the chintz of the chaise longue and the lamp shades on_the dressing table.

Zoning matters next week will hold the spotlight in the atten- tion of local property owners, when two amendments to the zoning code and 34 proposed changes in property classifications will come before the Zoning Commission Wednesday at a public hearing at the District Building. The lengthy list of petitions up for consideration is headed by the code amendment fostered by the local chapter, American Insti- tute of Architects and the Operative Builders’ Association, which would permit construction of apartment buildings of a maximum height of 90 feet in areas now restricted to 60-foot height, with the proviso that the percentage of lot occupancy be reduced. One of the proposals which is likely to provoke considerable dis- cussion is the petition for change from residential to first commercial the classification of the two triangular areas on either side of Con- necticut avenue just north of the “Million-Dollar” Bridge and the east side of the avenue between Calvert street and Woodley road.
