Breuninger and Phifer—Nat. 7713 ]7 AR after year, Foxall homes, constructed by Waverly Taylor, Inc., have received the highest award for residential construction from the Architects’ Advisory Council. Year after year, new and outstanding improvements have been added to Foxall by this progressive firm. Always alert for new developments in the equipment of homes, Waverly Taylor, Inc., has made it a fixed policy to insure its customers the utmost in comfort, value and mod- ern convenience, And so, when it came to the heating plant—all-important feature in the modern home—it was only natural that Waverly Taylor, Inc., noted for its keen vision, should decide to install Bryant Automatic Gas Heat in the charming Foxall group on the crest of Volta Place. This step was taken only after all other types of heating plants had been thoroughly analyzed. And then BRYANT was chosen. For the customers of Waverly Taylor, Inc., must have the very best. Upon that depends the builder’s reputation. Featuring homes at prices from $11,350 to $14.950, embedying superior brick and stone construction, extra heavy insulated roofs, caulked window frames, concealed living room radiators and Bryant Gas Heat—unusual homes of from six to eight rooms, with one, two and three baths, maid’s room and garage, all in a delightful “countrified” surrounding—is it any wonder that in a comparatively shoyt time the firm of Waverly Taylor, Inc., should have achieved national recognition for striking a unique note in home buildng? Really, words cannot convey the quaint English atmosphere of Foxall. We suggest you drive out Que Street and Reservoir Road, turn left three blocks on Forty-fourth Street, and .see for yourself.
