DISTRICT HOME OWNERSHIP
SHOWS IMPRESSIVE GAINS
Years Covered by Last Census Saw Large Inerease
With More Than Third of People
in Own Houses.
Ν impressive gain in home ownership in the District of Columbia
was made during the years ending with the 1930 census,
with the largest increase being recorded during the last
decade, according to a current study of figures compiled by
the Bureau of the Census.
Of the total of 125,554 families here at the time of the 1930
census 37.6 per cent owned, or had started the purchase, of their
homes. This figure compares with a home ownership of 24 per cent
in 1900, 25.: per cent in 1910 and 30.3 per cent in 1920.
Despite the gain of 13.6 points in the percentage in the 30
years, however, the District still lagged behind the country as a
whole in home ownership. The 1930 census figures show that 46.8
per cent of the families of the country were in the home-owning
L ill 11i et υ Ι/llIiC.
The District, on the other hand, has
made a much more impressive gain
o\ er the levels of the former census
years than has the country as a whole.
1920 Saw Drop.
Back in 1910. the national census
figures show. 44.8 per cent of the then
20,255,555 families of the country
owned their own homes. The extent of
home-ownership had dropped to 44.6
per cent in 1920, when the number of
families was 24.351.676, according to
the Census Bureau classifications. The
latest census showed that of the 29.
904.663 families abiding in the United
States in 1930 46.8 per cent were in
the home-owning class. The national
increase for the 20 years thus was but
2 per cent.
In contrast to this, the extent of
home ownership in the District of Co
lumbia rose from 25.2 per cent in 1910
to 30.3 per cent in 1920, a gain of 5.1
per cent, and to 37.6 per cent in 1930,
a further gain of 7.3 per cent for the
last decade.
Thus there was a gain here in home
ownership of 12.4 per cent between
1910 and 1930, as compared with the
2 per cent national gain in the same
period.
47-220 Home Owners Here.
Of the 125.554 families in the Dis
trict listed in the 1930 census, 47,220
were grouped as home owners, 75.254
as tenants and 3.080 as of unknown
status. The tenant families amounted
to 59.9 per cent of the total families
and 2.5 per cent were in the unknown
tenure class.
In the new analysis of figures show
ing home ownership in the various
States and the District of Columbia,
just released by the Bureau of the
Census, it is pointed cut that the term
"family" as it is used in the tabula
tions of the 1930 census, is limited in
the main to what might be called pri
vate families. This excludes the insti
tutions. hotels, boarding house and
other quasi-family groups which were
classed as families in the prior censuses.
The family group in the new census
luage, therefore, may be defined as a
group of persons, related either by blood
or by marriage or adoption, who live
together as one household, usually
: baring the same table. Single persons
living alone in separate homes are
counted as one-person families, and a
few small groups of unrelated persons
sharing the same living accommoda
tions on a partnership basis have been t
counted as families.
Since only those groups defined as
private families were included in the 1
1930 family classifications the figures \
are not exactly comparable to those for j
the 1920 and 1910 census analyses. But ;
the bureau explains that if the quasi
family groups were included the total
number of families would be increased
by less than three-tenths of 1 per cent.
The figures, therefore, are substantially
comparable.
The national figures show two addi
tional points of interest. One is that
when the family population figures
of the past three censuses are broken
down into farm and non-farm classifi
cations the home ownership among the
farm classification is higher in each of
the three periods than it is in the non
farm classification. The other point is
that the percentage of home ownership
in the farm classifications has declined
from the 1910 to the 1920 censuses,
whereas in the non-farm classifications
the percentage of home ownership in
creased during three decades.
Farm Figure Drops.
Thus we find that in the farm home
classification 62.7 per cent of the fami
lies owned their homes in 1910. but that

Building and Loan League
Head Lauds Purposes
of New Institution.
The Federal Home Loan Bank Sys
tem, now being created, is in complete j
accord with the purposes of the signers !
of the Constitution, it is declared by j
Ward B. Whltlock. Springfield. 111.,
newly elected president of the United
States Building and Loan League, in |
calling for support of the new financial
system.
In a Constitution day message ad
dressed today to the Building and Loan
Association secretaries of this city and
other sections of the country, Mr.
Whitlock points out that preservation 1
of the homes was one of ihe ideals be- !
hind the framing of the Constitution.
"It cannot truthfully be said that
people are secure in their homes as
long as they cannot get mortgage credit j
on legitimate security to keep them in ,
possession." he declares.
"In rededicating our business to the j
upholding of the Constitution on this '
day. building and loan associations are ;
looking upon the Heme Loan Bank sub
scription as their primary duty.
"There is a widespread feeling that
Benjamin Franklin would be among the
first to urge the benefits of the Home
Loan Bank System, and would be doin?
all in his power to make it a success."
"The funds from this system are pri
marily to finance small homes, they
are to be loaned to borrowers who ex
pect to repay and own their homes out
right. and not to families who are look
ing for a dole." said Mr. Whitlock.
"For this reason the system is set up
along strictly business lines, making no
advances to building and loan associa
tions or other member institutions on
mortgages which have more than 15
years to run. which are more than six
months in arrears, or which are on
property valued higher than S20.000. It
is clear from this plan that the law
is designed to give the small home
owner a workable plan for his mortgage
credit, an obligation which he can sat
isfy in a reasonable period of time. It
means to help him acquire a home, not
to give him a home."
Silver Star
Received Same Careful
Attention Given Front
and Interior.
AREA OVERLOOKS
GLOVER PARKWAY
Property Treated in M anner
Suitable to Purpose and
Surroundings.
ONE of the many note
worthy features of the new
Silver Star Home at 1731
Hoban road in the Colony
Hill section, just west of Forty
fourth street and north of Reser
voir road, is the pleasing, restful
atmosphere of the rear of the
house and lot, achieved by apply
ing there the same studied, care
ful attention that was given to
details of the front and interior.
This is a point that has attracted the
interest of a large portion of the hun
dreds of the visitors who have inspected
the exhibition dwelling since it was
opened to the public for a month of
of f ho wing last Saturday.
The house is one of the series of
dwellings awarded the Silver Star medal
and a place in the better homes demon
rtraticn sponsored by The Star and con
ducted by a committee of home building
specialists.
It is open daily from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.
and may be reached by driving out Q
street to Wisconsin avenue, turning
right to Reservoir road, then left and
west along this road to Hoban read,
just beyond Forty-fourth street, then
right or north to the house, marked by
the Sliver Star Home sign.
Architecturally, the rear of the house
has the same character of simple lines
and pleasing proportions that feature
the main facade, although the outline
and facilities are different.
Overlooks Glover Parkway.
The rear of the property overlooks the
wooded area of the Government-owned
Glcver parkway and it has been treated
in a fashion suitable to its purpose and
its surroundings.
There is a garden atmosphere here,
created largely by the provision of the
jpacious tea terrace, inclosed by low
brick walls at the outer edge. The
terrace has large flagstones for flooring.
It has a border of flowers. Space for
the flowers was left between the terrace
walls and the flagstone floor. Among
trees providing shade for the terrace is
a huge tulip poplar, believed to be more,
than 200 years old.
The terrace is on a level well above
that of the fide :treet which slopes
down to the level of Glover parkway to
the rear of the lot. Thus the terrace
affords privacy even from the side
street.
The terrace is tied into the house
structure by means of its extension un
der the projecting roof over the first
story outset.
There are wide doors affording easy
access from the living room, extending
the full length of the south side of the
house, to the terrace. The large dining
room, opening off the living room, also
has doors giving onto the terrace and a
windowed bay off the dining room has
■
a wide outlook over the terrace and the
woodland to the rear.
The kitchen, located at the rear of
the north side of the house Is con
veniently located from a point of view
of service, there being a wide and easy
rising stairway to the level of the side j
street.
Convenient Garage Entrance.
Convenience also marks the entrance
to the built-in basement garage. This
is located on the north side of the ;
house, adjoining the rear wall. The
slope of the driveway Is easy and the
garage doors are wide, affording easy
movement of the cars.
The Silver Star Home was built by
Boss & phelps from plans by Horace
W. Peaslee, architect The landscaping
was executed under the direction of j
Rose Greely.
The house contains 11 main rooms. |
3 baths, a guest lavatory on the flrsl
floor, a servant's lavatory in the base
ment, and conveniently located and
unusually ample closet, cupboard and
storage space, in addition to the com- ;
modious facilities of the basement.
The Colony Hill dwelling throughout
is marked by the simplicity and dignity
that adhered to its prototype, the New
England houses of Georgian motif. Of
brick construction, the facades have
been coated with a cement paint of
creamy W'hite, which forms a bright
contrast against the dark green of the
lawn and the woodland behind the
house.
As to the methods of construction,
educational value of a visit and in
spection of the house is to be found in
the fact that all the brick walls are
tarred and furred. All window frames
are caulked inside and outside. All ;
windows and doors are weatherstripped !
and screened All window glass is of
the type which permits penetration of
the ultra violet rays of the sunlight.
Standard plumbing Is used throughout
the house. Solid brick, 13-inch terrace
walls are laid along the front and side
of the lot.
An indication of the refinement of
the treatment is seen in the fact that
all woodwork was designed by the
architect to suit particularly the char
acter of this individual dwelling and
was made to order from detailed draw
ings. This applies to the window trim,
blinds, fireplace woodwork, mouldings,
exterior and interior, the doors and
staircases.
On the second floor are four bed
rooms, the master suite being located
on the south side. This room has a
fireplace In the outside wall. A huge,
window-lighted closet and a large bath
are located at the rear. The bath con
nects with a second bed room, at the
rear center of the house. A second
large bath at the front of the house
serves the two other bed rooms on this
floor.
On the third floor are two additional
b?d rooms, each having cross ventila
tion and each served by a closet of good
size. Opening off the third story hall

Building Permits Issued Here Last Week Cover
Projects Calling for Expenditure
of $259,500.
PRIVATE builders of the District obtained approval during the
past week of projects having a total estimated valuation of
$234,5Q0, an increase over the outlay called for in plans of the
preceding week.
The cost of the new work is about the average that has been
attained in weeks of recent months, but the list of projects was longer
than usual, mo?t of the items ranging in construction cost from
$12,000 to smaller sums.
Included in the new list were plans for 16 private dwellings, a
number of stores and small apartment structures and repair work.
The present low cost of building materials and labor is believed tc
have stimulated progress in the smaller size operations of individuals.
