IN BRADLEY RILLS
Rear Estate Trust Company
Builds Old English House in
New Subdivision.
TheSeal Estate Trust Company has
completed lhe erection of a third house
In Bradley Hill, three others belnir In
process of construction. In building the
houses, a dltTerept style of architecture
has been used In each instance, instead
of adhering to one plan as is sometimes
the case In subdivisions. The house
just completed, for instance, is built
on the old English plan. The two that
have already been completed followed
the modernized English and the Dutch
colonial ideas, and the next one to be
completed Is being built on strictly co
lonial lines.
The. new house laces on Bradley Hills
Drive. It contains eleven rooms and
two baths, and although situated far
from the heart of, the city, has every
convenience of the city' home, such as
electricity, gas and hot water heating.
Stone and stucco, with wood trimmings,
are the exterior construction materials.
Knickerbocker Boyd, of Philadelphia,
is the architect, and Milton TV. Young,
of Philadelphia, the contractor.

HUNTINGTON. TV. Va.. Feb. 1. Fire,'
which the police believe to have been ot

the business district here at an early
hour this momlng, causing a loss esti
mated at ?S3,000, only partly covered
by insurance. -
The principal losers were the Paul

One of the most attractive residences

Babcock of Wisconsin, at the' north
west corner of Massachusetts avenue
and Thirty-fourth street northwest
The exterior of the house Is now about
complete, but it will be some months
before the interior will be completely
decorated.
Tne Italian villa style of architec
ture has been closely adhered to by
Arthur Heatcn. the architect. Tho

age in the real, all of which are built
on the plan of. the main house.
The flrstllcur Is devoted entirely to
an entrance hall, a reception hall, mu
sic room, and dining room. The en
trance hall will be particularly attrac
tive with its caultcd celling and oak

in the other rooms In the main floor.
The grounds surrounding the house
are specious. They were purchased
from JXhomas J. isner & Co., devel

opportunity for carrying out'the Italian
villa style in the gardens as well as the
house Itself. The house and its ad
