The first impression made on a visitor ) the residential districts of MinneapIis is that he is in a suburb ol' an eastrn city. The wide streets, detached ouses among trees and the architecture f the houses all contribute to this imression. While Minneapol:s is a ci*y of tore than ."00,00<> people, it has no solid >ws of dwelling houses such as one nds in most large cities, but its resiential section is spread over an imtense area, with each house standing y itself on its own plot of ground This rrangement adds greatly to the attracveness of Mie city and gives wide scope >r individuality and variety of archi:cture. Minnesota Forests Exhausted. When Minneapolis could draw 011 the pparently inexhaustible forests at the eadwaters of the Mississippi river for er build ng material and wood was th< heapest means of construction, it was ( aturally used ulmos' exolus'vely in ouses of moderate cost. With tlio exaustion of the Minnesota forests and ie increased cost of lumber, the quest >r ether building material began. Confete. or stucco, which a decade ago was 6t thought suitable to stand the rigors f the northern climate, was perfected so s to endure ,;n any degree of cold, and rick soon became little or no more cxenslve than wood. m Change in Architecture.
