CHURGH TO AVE ANCIENT BEAUTY New St. Paul’s Edifice Will Embody Many Early Gothic Features. An impressive addition to the Capi- tal's family of church edifices is seen in the new St. Paul's English Lutheran Church now in the course of construc- tion on a site in Northwest Washington bounded by Ellicott, Everett and Thirty- sixth streets, overlooking Connecticut avenue. The cost of the church is ex- pected to excced $750,000. ‘When completed, the architectural style of this new church will be based on English fourteenth century Gothic, representing the highwater mark in the development of Gothic church architec- ture. The superstructure will be of solid coarse brick and faced limestone. A Sunday school building and parish hall, which , are planned along with the church, will follow the style of the fif- teenth century collegiate type of Eng- lish Gothic, this being considered par- ticularly adaptable to the requirements 11)1 a modern reiigious educational build- ng. Cruciform in Plan. The church will be cruciform in plan, embodying a long and lofty nave with clear story walls supported by massive columns and arches which will open out into side aisles. The greater por- tion of the seating will be in the cross- ing and nave with additional room in the transcepts extending north and south. Directly above the crossing, which is formed by the juncture of the nave and transcepts, a tall central tower will rise. On the interior, this tower will have the appearance of a huge open lantern up to the level of the bell ringer’s floor. This plan is expected to give the im- pressive effects of light entering from above, an effect found in many English cathedrals and abbeys and some of the larger English parish churches. Beyond the crossing will be the choir and sanctuary, which will be unusually impressive in proportions. Although the church is in no manner a copy of any medieval structure, the architects explain, it is based on and will have the beauty of some of the BUILDING NEWS MADEIRA GIRLS’ SCHOOL CONSTRUCTION STARTED $675,000 Project on Potomac River Below Great Falls to Include Ten Buildings of Colonial Design—Property Takes in Black Pond. With the award of contract last month, construction work is under way on the new $675,000 Madeira School for Girls on a site on the Virginia side of the Potomac River, a short distance below Great Falls and immediately adjacent to Difficult Run. Commanding a wide view of the Potomac River and looking southeast toward Washington, which is distinctly visible in the dis- tance, the new school is being constructed on a 210-acre site acquired in 1924 by the late David L. Wing, husband of Lucy Madeira Wing, whose name the school bears. ‘The property includes the famous Black Pond, famous as a fishing ren- dezvous at one time, and more recently as an “ol’ swimmin’ hole.” Location Renamed “Greenway.” ‘The site of the new school is located between the estate of Mrs. Benjamin Holcombe and the property of the Potomac Electric Power Co., adjacent to Great Falls. The bend of the Po- tomac around the bluffs, which will form the campus of the school, gives the land a frontage of more than half a mile on the river. The location is what is known as Prospect Hill, but has been renamed “Greenway.” The plans of Waldron Faulkner, arch- itect for the new school, call for a group of ten buildings to be laid out more or less in the shape of a huge question mark. The structures will be Colonial in design, embodying brick and wood cornices, and follow a style of development in conformity with the setting of the mp, The largest ding in the group will be the main administration build- iné, which will contain the library and offices of the school, reception rooms and guests’ room. Flanking the river side of this unit will be an attractive flagstone and grass terrace. On the opposite side of this building will be a spacious courtyard, on either side of which dormitories, classroom build- ings, gymnasium and dining hall will be located. A group of three build- ings will project toward the left from the administration building at the end of the oourm:rd. completing ‘the ques- tion-mark ipe of the group. ‘With no water supply lines laid to the property, an elaborate filtration system is planned so that water may be drawn 3I33IITITeTeeeseIeIen Spanish Home Beautifully Wooded Lot . 1428 FLORAL STREET Just Off 16th St. [ ] Unique center-hall home—all masonry construction—tile roof Tuding first bedroom and tile bath.
