REAL ESTATE. ARGHITECTS HAIL START OF REVIVAL $572,738,000 Projects Al- ready Financed and Being Planned. Belief that the beginning of a period of recovery in the building industry of the country has been reached is held by editors of the American Archi- tect on the basis of a _survey of projects now planned and financed. Based on direct individual reports from 1636 representative architects and other informed sources, the sur- vey shows that building and mod- ernization projects now in the plan- ning stage and already financed amount to_$572.738.000. Contemplated construction, based on architects' Tecords and checked against business conditions in each State, reaches an additional figure of $1,181,- 068,000, the magazine reports. Construction Speeded. Of the total of the two classifica- tions, those already planned and those contemplated, it is reported that $299.- 623,000 is in the new building projects already financed and undcr planning for immediate construction. In the actual new building projects there are 1,145 dwellings costing below $20.000, making a total estimated cost of $10,171,500, and 203 dwellings cost- ing from $20,000 and up, costing a| total of $8,104,000. Of apartment buildings and hotels there are 128, representing a cost cf | $18155,500, and 24 hotels costing | $4.490,000. In 'the contemplated construction listed in the survey data there are 3,429 dwellings having an individual cost below $20,000 which have a total | estimated cost of $26,822,700, and 582 dwellings of more expensive classifica- | tion having a total cost of $21,677,500. Three Factors Listed. 573 contemplated apart- rtment hotels that will 000 and 130 hotels that | 3,000 | and forecast by Ameri- | can Architect lists three factors which| are believed to be serving to stimulate | Tecovery of building. They are: | “Normal requirements, which have | ot been satisfied for several years, will call for a considerable volume of prod- ucts to bring the buildings of the coun- | try back to proper condition | “Available Federal funds promise to| turn vast sums of money for the pur- chase of building materials. “The people know that from an eco- nomical point of view now, when costs of labor and prices of building prod- | ucts are unusually low. is a good time | to build or modernize.” | Asks Permit for Home. | Frank C. Hudson, owner, hss ap plied for permit from the District for the erection of a two-story brick dwell ing at 3031 W street southeast, having an estimated construction cost of $7,000. b __Residence on Woodlawn avenue at the intersection of Shadow road, Kenwood, Md, which has been acquired by Richard C. Hubbard, It was built by H. H. Hubbard from plans by A. H. Sonnemann of the Kennedy-Chamberlin | Development Co. The residence of Richard C. Hub- bard, on Woodlawn avenue. at the in- tersection of Shadow road, in Kenwood, Md., is an interesting study of a modern home that reveals the architectural in- fluence of the early American manner. ‘There is seen in this house appealing effect of the low, somewhat rambling and broken roof line of a dwelling that is set snugly against the ground. It is given an added picturesque feeling, due to its location on a spacious and wood- ed lot, showing a broad expanse of sloping lawn in front of the building. Roof Is of Tile. The house is a combination of stone, white-painted brick and clapboard, and has a roof of tile of the type employed in the restoration of historic buildings at Williamsburg, Va., which gives the effect of old, moss-green, wood shingles of the early American homes. ‘The white-painted brickwork serves to lighten the aspect of the house and to provide contrast againsi the gray and light-brown tones of the stone and the green of the lawns and trees. An ornamental wrought-iron porch, with copper roof, lends s distinctive touch to the entrance. - Hearth of Marble. ‘The main entrance leads into a spa- cious hall, from which a stairway of early American style carries to the second floor. < ‘Through a deep arch at the left of the entrance hall and down two steps is a large living room, in one end of | which is a fireplace having a facing and hearth of marble and a wood man- tel extending to the ceiling. To the left of the fireplace is a deep-seated vindow in a paneled wall area, while a door in the paneling to the right of the fireplace Jeads to a sun room having a flagstone floor. The sun room has east, south and west €xposures. To 15 East Underwood St. CHEVY CHASE, MD. Just 100 yds. east of Conn. Ave. An especially inviting cen+ ter-hall home—7 comfort- 4 bed garage.
