V NEW AND STRIKING STYLES IN ALL CITY ANB SUBURBAN HOMES_
GREAT VARIETY IN i
RICHMOND DISTRICT
Burlingcttne Also Scene of Fine Home Build-
ing in Vicinity of Fashionable Show Places
Per v«.ri*ty of architecture and artis
tic effect in home building the Rich
mond district is already noted. One of
the most distinctive new homes re
cently built in this popular residential
i section is that belonging to Dr. Ade
laide Brown at Lake and Sixteenth ave
nue. *It is in mission style with rough
plaster walls. In front is a garden
with fountain, lawn and flower beds
inclosed by high walls. Opening upon '
this garden court is the large living
room. A pergola over which vines will
be trained gives a touch of beauty to
the rather severe lines of the building.
At the rear is another pergola on the
second floor and beneath is the garage.
The rear commands a flne^vlew of the
PreEldio. The house was designed by
Henry Smith, architect.
: " An idea of the beautiful homes in
"West Clay park is conveyed by an il
lustration on this page. It is inter
esting to note that while this house is
In West Clay park it was built several
years before the idea of a marine view
residence park in this ! city was con
ceived. At the time this house was
constracted not only was West Clay
park unimproved, but there were no
paved streets and no sidewalks. There
was nothing to warrant the building
of a fine home here except the wonder
ful views that the site commands, the
sheltered climate which thfe ridge to
the west produces and faith in the fu
ture extension of the Presidio heights
residence district westward over the
ecenic slope between Lake street and
the Presidio wall.
But E. H. Adams wanted a home In
this city, where he could enjoy all of
life that may be found In the country
and the had faith in the future. He
believed that San Francisco would
grow in accordance with the principles
that have determined the development
of all other cities. He believed that
the best residence section would seek
RUSH STREET WORK
AT PULLMAN PARK
Tract to Have Best Improve*
raents of Any Suburban
District in County
Baldwin & Howell have let the con
tract for the street "work in Pullman
park to Blanchard, Brown & Co.i who
have already started operations under
*n agreement to rush everything to
completion. This contract calls for
graded streets, macadamized full width,
3x12 inch redwood curbs and 4 foot
cement sidewalks throughout the entire
tract, with the exception of Pullman
avenue, where a 6 foot cement sidewalk
will b« built. It is also stipulated that
the contractors lay water mains down
every street, with "T" connections in
front of each lot.
"Pullman park will have the only
fully graded streets in Contra Costa
county, with the exception of a few of
the main business streets of Richmond,"
said G. A. Griffin of Baldwin & Howell.
•Our york is not only Rpin? to be put
through with all possible speed, but it
is going to be thoroughly good and
• \u25a0lass 'A' in every particular. We be
lieve we have th» choicest of all the
Pullman properties, and are going <o
s*e that It Is properly developed. The
Etreet work 5s being done for service
and not for show, and we will welcome
ihm closest scrutiny by any one who
will favor us by investigating the work
we are doing. If buyers of lots would
examine the street work more carefully
than they generally do there would be
less losses in the real estate business.
Every successful subdivision must
have the right kind of Improvements,
and this is just exactly the kind that
are going into Pullman park."
Last Sunday, more than $8,000 worth
©f lots were sold, bringing the total
sale close to $100,000. Although these
figures are big, they are not surprising,
for the reason that >Ue property ad
joins the works and there is a good
demand for such lots. ,
At present there are no accommo
dations at Pullman for the employes
of the works, who are expected in
about 30 days. As a consequence, plans
are now being made for the erection
of a $15,000 hotel in Pullman park. A
number of lot buyers are figuring on
erecting cottages or bungalows for
rental purposes, and a spirit of activity
pervades the whole community.
Every Sunday from one to two hun
dred people visit the factory, and all
eeerajnterested in the progress of Pull
man park, which is unquestionably
destined to be the favorite residential
locality of the tp\m.

Pullman park during: the last two

and so he pioneered it, and it was not
until within the last eight months that
even the street work through this dis
trict was done. •
Abo.ut this time also work was fin- ;
ished on "West Clay park and the house
which he had constructed now over
looks this beautiful residence park in
addition to the Presidio military reser
vation and the Golden gate straits.
The house ;s of Spanish highland
type. It is finished throughout in se
lected woods; it contains eight rooms,
with two baths and all the modern
conveniences.
The Urban realty company has done
much to popularize the • Richmond
heights district between Ninth ' and
Eleventh avenues and from Anza to
Balboa streets, near the park. A new
community of model homes has grown
up there this year during the dullest
period that has ever been known. So
well has Joseph A. Leonard, tha veteran
architect and home builder, anticipated
the wants 'of families for something a
little out of the ordinary that this com
pany is able to sell its houses .faster
than it can build them. A stroll
through this district reveals a wonder
ful variety of architecture with qld
English and French chateau styles
predomirik tings
With the new trend of city architec
ture tending toward the French cha
teau and mission styles,- popular Bur
, lingame is not to be outdone. In the
Easton addition is a quaint little gem
of architecture of th,is type. It is one
story, plain on the outside except for
a pergola, but with that indescribable
charm . that this antique style* carries
with it. There are larger and more
ornate homes in the neighborhood, but
j this very contrast and variety is one of
the features that make Burlingame and
its environs so enticing as a residence
section.

BUILDING IM
THE POTRERO
The general healthy tone of the real
estate market has not centralized it
self to any one. district in particular,
and activity is reported in the Potrrro
district. The prospect of the opening
of the Union iron works has made
itself felt, especially in the purchasing
of small homes. .
To meet this demand, Ospar Heymaji
& Brother have planned the orectioH-of
several cottages of four and five rooms
in Mississippi andv»Twentit»th streets.
This location has"* bee»-sewered and is
convenient to carlines and accessible
to the heart of; the city. - .
It looks as if there would be consid
erable activity in building in that part
of the Potrero In the near future.
The board of public works has rec
ommended that the building- laws be
amended so as to prohibit the. placing
of building material lor appliances
within four foet^six inches of the outer
rail of any streetcar track.

Population and Trade Extend*
ing Intojhe Interior of the ,
Pacific Northwest
The building of the Grand Trunk
Pacific and Canadian Northern railways
has awakened renewed interest in the
Pacific coast 1n general and particu
larly in the agricultural and mining
possibilities of British Columbia
throughout eastern Canada and the
United States. -
"There will be a large influx of peo
ple next year," said J. C. Spaulding,
manager of the North Coast land com
pany, at his office in the Mills build
ing. "The majority of the newcomers
will locate on ranches or engage' in
fruit growing.
-"I v/as surprised to notice on my re
cent^ trip north and east that farm
lands in northern British Columbia,
especially" along - the route of the
Grank Trunk Pacific railway.* are sell
ing freely In New York and New Eng
land cities. .
"A Brooklyn syndicate, of which the
directing spirit is. Rev. Dr. Newell
Dwight Hlllis, the successor of Rev.
Henry Ward Beecher in a Brooklyn
church, will shortly locate 50 Brook
lyn families on email tracts of 10 and
20 acres in the Fraser river valley.
The -Vancouver colonization company
has also disposed of many similar hold-
Ings, adapted for fruit growing and
vegetables to parties in eastern Cana
da and the New England states.
"A 'large colony is being organized
in San P'rancisco, and doubtless other
individuals will follow.
"Trade will naturally follow In the
wake of such settlement and carry San
Francisco's commerce far into the in
terior northland.
"The result of the British Columbia
provincial elections and the subsequent
guaranteeing of the bonds of the Ca
nadian Northern railway w^is regarded
with great favor in the east, the people
realizing S.hat a new era of develop
ment of the province, had Tieen ushered
in."
CAMP AND BUNGALOW
SITES IN DEMAND
Camp and bungalow sites in Muir
Woods park are still selling well, ac
cording to a report of Lapacht & Co.
The . bright exhilarating autumn
weather, that has prevailed in Marin
county thus far is luring nature lov
ers to this charming mountain district
so near to the city. • . \
t*ie sky was overcast with
clouds in part of the city last Sunday,
the sun shone resplendent over Mill
valley and Mount Tamalpais and the
woods and trails were thronged with
happy hikers on pleasure bent or
searching out a building site on which
to- erect a home or summer camp.
Baldwin '& Howell have agreed to
purchase -$71,000 non interest .bearing

FULTON CARS ARE
RUNNING TO KACB
New Line Opens Attractive Sec
tion in Western Part of
Richmond District
.The running of the electric cars
along Fulton street to the beach marks
an important event in the history, of
Richmond district. Since the beginning
*ojf the week the McAllister street ex
tension line from Twelfth avenue along
Fulton street to Forty-ninth avenue
has been in working order and cars are
now running on schedule time. It will,
however, be another few months before
the new McAllister street cars will
make the trip from the ferries to the
beach without transferring at Fulton
street and Twelfth avenue.
The big Fulton street sewer, which
was constructed by the city at a cost
of $65,000, is completed, and the con
tractors are at work macadamizing
Fulton street to the beach.
For the last year or so more street
work and .improvements have taken
place north of Golden Gate park than
in any other part of the city. To most
San Francisco people tKe district lying
directly north of Golden Gate park be
tween Fulton street and Geary street,
from Thirty-flfth avenue to Forty-ninth
avenue, will be a, revelation, for its ele
vation, sunny slope and marvelous view
are attractive.
Lipman & Hlrschler - have opened
their beach office at the terminus of
the new Fulton street line at the cor
ner of Fulton street and Forty-ninth
avenue. They report an active demand
-for lots throughqut this section, and
particularly Jn the new blocks they,
have put on the market north of the
park, ; lying between Fortieth and
Forty-first avenues, Anza and Balboa
streets, and In the Chain of Lakes block
lying between Forty-first and Forty
e«cond avenues, Balboa and Cabrillo
streets.
These blocks have been improved and
graded to official line; streets have
been macadamized, sewered, water and
gas mains supplied and th«j property
made ready for the builder. A uniform
building line has been established,
which makes this property specially de
sirable for home purposes.

Words of Encomium by J. Ellis
Barker About San Fran
cisco's Restoration
The Kecord this w«ek
prints th« following statement from
J. Ellis Parker, the eminent Ensllsh
author, about the ne-w San Francisco:
By J. ELLIS BARKER
I have much pleasure in acceding
to your request for a brief expres
sion of my views on San Francisco.
111 1 hay« b«en here so short a time that
I can, of course, give you only the
first Impressions of a casual traveler.
Still, first impressions are not with
out value, especially as it needs n->
profound study to s»e -what wonderful
things your city has accomplished.
In various parts of the union through
which I have passed. I was told that
San Francisco was a depressing- city,
owing to 1V» numerous ruins. I was
surprised in finding it a well laid iwtA
happy looking- and prosperous cl^C»
with magnificent streets and palatial
buildings In which only traces or your
great calamity are to be found. A
traveler dropped Into San Francisco
from the clouds would not even notice,
unless he came across the ruins of 7 ox j^-m
city hall, that the city was devastate.^
a few years ago. I have constantly f
to remind myself that the city was
wiped out four years ago. Among all
the evidences of American vitality, en
ergy and constructive genius I hava
seen, none has Impressed me more than
the, re-creation of San Francisco, which
has risen from the ashes a greater and
grander city.
•Of the larger American cities I have
visited I, have found San Francisco th»
best planned, the best laid out, the
best paved and the best lighted- San
Francisco has In Golden Gate park the
most beautiful park I have seen so
far in the United States, and the roads
leading out of the city are the best
made roads I have seen in this country.
Your system of water storage v/hich
enables you to be Independent of the
water mains in case of another disaster
is most admirable. Altogether. I think
San Francisco need not fear compari
son with any of the great eastern cit
ies and they .can learn much from you.
1 have been greatly impressed by
the excellence of your drainage and
auxiliary water supply and th« great
number and .excellent appearance of
your* schools.' All In all. San Fran
cisco appears to me a queenly dty
and the people have every reason to
be proud of her achievements.
