DOWNTOWN STREETS RESEMBLE CANYONS; Tendency Pronounced to Carry Office Buildings to Great est Possible Height. The canyonlike effects presented by the streets of large cities since the era of the skyscraper are now so familiar that they have ceased to attract attention. Until recently, however, Washington people hare been obliged to go away from home to see the beetling wall-* which modern construction has made pos sible. But even though building con struction has advanced rapidly in the downtown section of the capital, it is probable that Washington never will compete with the "Colorado canyons" which are to be found in cities where the height of buildings is not limited. An approximation of the street effects referred to may be found in the block In G street between 10th and 11th streets! northwest, where both sides are now solidly built with tall buildings, which for the most part represent the extreme height permitted by the regulations There is no other b'ock that is quite so uniform, although G street between 14th and 15th streets, is approaching tha* condition. But the greatest massing of tall buildings is at the Intersection of] H and 15th streets w^here the Southern] office building recently was comple'ed; the Woodward office building now is re- j ceiving the finishing touches and the| Union Trust building, for several years j the home of the Union Trust Company,! occupy three of the four corners, with i the Shoreham Hotel on the remainin, corner. But the*e great structures, thfu^tin-' their tall forips toward the sky even now, are not iso ated and are likely to be even less so as other buildln.s on the same, blocks are completed. The tendency to ward increasing the floor space in the business section Is stronf ly manife ted in j the construction work which 5s now po- > ing on. The Wilkins office buildin mid way in the block on H street between 15'h street and Madison place, is to be as tall as the regulations permit. Around he corner In Vermont avenue it is pro posed to place the new Ar ington Hotel s At the nofthwe t corner of I stree and McPherson square on 15th street it is proposed to erect ihe home of the Un.- j versity Club, the working plans of which j are now being prepared. TO BUILD NEW HOUSE. Mrs. Fanny Eicks Will Have Home at 19th and E Streets. A res'dence is to be built for Mrs. Fanny R cks at the southeast corncr of li>th and R streets northwest. It will I be a basement house w th wr'ought-iror. ] ' balconies In the first story and with a frie?p and cornice of carved stone. Th< arrangement of the second floor reverses the usual order, as the servants' rooms will be in the front of the house, wh 1< ' the apartments for the family will be in the rear, the objert beintr to secure the best exposure for the rooms. t-+4"4"H,++4"i"H"H*+++ ?MrM-MrM** * APARTMENTS, THE WINDSOR, 1425 I SI N.W.
