B2 'NEWE. . BULDING SOONT0 BE READY $500,000 Structure First Au- thorized in D. C. in Response to Hoover Relief Call. ‘The approach of Founders’ day at i Georgetown University March 25 finds % the new science-recitation building for 1 the College of Arts and Sciences, named I the Gravenor-White Hall after two of # Georgetown’s founders, in the final : phases of construction. All that now . Temains to be completed in this monu- + mental college structure are the inte- : rior finishings and the installation of . laboratory equipment for the 632 sci- 1 ence students it is to accomodate. Erected at a cost in excess of $500,000, : the Gravenor-White Buiiding has the : distinction of being the first building % authorized in the District of Columbia 1in response to former President Hoover's < call, & year ago, for emergency construc- 7 tion work as an aid to the unemploy- ment situation. It is one of the largest - private construction jobs undertaken in 1 the District during the last year. Work on the building has progressed slowly 2 since last March, but without interrup- ! tion, with a result that a substantial :force of local labor has been given : steady employment. " "The building forms the north end of the Andrew White memorial quadrangle ‘being projected on the site of the old “athletic field at Georgetown. Besides < accommodating the chemistry depart- “ment, it will provide 20 recitation halls, Texecutive offices, lounges and a finely equipped cafeteria. Built of stone and sbrick, it is a counterpart of the senior *dormitory erected two years ago to form the west side of the quadrangle. An- . other building eventually will be located Zon the east side of the old athletic field ito complete the quadrangle, but the Sundertaking of this project has not yet s been authorized. : Four Stories and Basement. : ‘The building is a four story and| Tbasement structure, with front and | sides of stone. Like Copley Hall, stone ‘tablets on the exterior, over the main ‘front entrance, interpret the early “history of Georgetown. The building ditself ‘is named after Fathers Altham IGravenor and Andrew White, two Jesuit “missioners who accompanied the Lord Baltimore expedition that founded IMaryland in 1634. They were the first ‘to initiate a movement for a Catholic ischool in_America, which resulted over %a centry later, in 1789, in the founding of Georgetown College. . Emile Perrot, Philadelphia architect, idesigned the building and the construc- “tion work is being done by the Charles {H. Tompkins Co. of this city. It is de- isigned as a model building for college | *work. . Fronting the entire structure for a Jength of 180 feet and a width of 40 “feet is an esplanade with floring of huge flagstones. This _will provide a scommodious and dignified setting for future commencement exercises at the university. < The beauty, character and dignity “so strikingly exemplified in the exterior, have been carried out, within the lim- iits of consistency, through every detail of the chemistry department on the supper floor. There are five labora- ‘tories, designed after thorough study by Rev. George F. Strohaver, S. J., head .of the chemistry department. Both ‘laboratories and lecture tables are finished in cathedral oak and their jet black tops are of close-grained hard ‘wood especially processed for chemical REAL ESTATE. G. U.

Luchs at Beard Luncheon. Increasing interest in real estate as an investment was reported by realtors attending the weekly business luncheon of the Washington Real Estate Board in | the Ambassador Hotel Tuesday, accord- ing to Morton J. Luchs, vice Dl’flldfllt) of the Shannon & Luchs Co. and | chairman of the group. A greater number of inquiries and many sales along this line were reported | by the real estate firms represented at the meeting, Mr. Luchs said. “For the past 9 or 10 months there has been considerable interest shown by the public toward the purchase of | smaller properties for investments,” | the realtor declared. “During the past several weeks the number of inquiries has increased, and & number of sales have been made of such properties. “It also has been noticed in the last few weeks that many inquiries have come in for larger properties, including centrally located business well as properties in the outlying busi- ness sections. “There seems to be a feeling that REAL ESTATE.
