But it doesn't equal "- = th ;h 1 t e vestibule and a lobby which extends almost the full length of the buiiding. There will be, on the ·main floor, a maids' reception room and rooms for maids. There will be, also on the main floor, bachelor rooms. There ~ill be a large open air patio in which privacy is assured by a high brick wall ·on the south side of the building. Thet:e will be a spacious nine hole golf putting course on the north side of the building. · . There will be a smoking and loungmg room. There will be a bridge or ballroom - with a connecting community kitchen. ~ There will be two large garages to care for the cars of the tenants. This is attached to the building.

It is of English Gothic design. It is three stories high and· is constructed of steel, and light tan brick, with Bedford stone trim. Face brick has been used on all four sides: , The entrance is through a wide arched doorway. When completed the vestibule will be furnished with a desk, where a doorman will ~it. To the right of th~ vestibule is the maids' reception room and entrance to the maids' livin~ rooms; to the left are the bachelor rooms, which may be occupted by chauffeurs of the apartment dwellers. This arrClllgement enabies a complete separatign of the tenants from their helo. A door from the vestibule leads to the big lobby which is 12 feet wide. A wall fountain will be on one side ~nd pl~ns for artistic decoration of the lobby are being made. Leading off the lobby are the smoking and lounging room, the patio which will hav.e. a blue stone floor and many flowers and the bridge or ballroom .. A pa_ ssage on the north side of the building leads to the puttirr.g course which is bei!lg built by C. D. Wa~ staff. There is a passage, too, which leads to the garages so that it will be unnecessary for a tenant to go out of doors tQ enter the. garage. This first floor arrangement offers a clubby atmosphere and also the opportunity for a finer spirit of friendliness than is possible in the average apartment building. All of the tenants of the 18 apartments will enjoy the advantages of the units mentioned. The women may entertain their friends at bridge or dancing and have luncheon or dinner service from the community kitchen, while the men may do their own entertain- - the patio where everybody may get together. The apartments are entered by three stairways, all of which lead from the lobby. The apartments, it is pointed out, are the "last word" in design and con~tr_.!lction. If anything has been overlooked it would be difficult to discover. In each of the seven room apartments there are three bedrooms. And for every bedroom there is a tile bath and shower. The living rooms are large and have wood-burning fireplaces. There are built-in bookcases and other iricidentals of the living room. The smaller apartments have one bedroom and a bath and shower. Also they are equipped with inadoor beds, which will give the efficiency of an additional room. - -The clos~ts in all apartments are tedar lined. The concealed type of radiator is being installed. !.++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++;++ ~~:~:~~~~fi:~~~~~~i~~ ;~~~ -~~ = == + A ;5 ~ears ~~pe:~~e J W d k I + :; li I§ OKANSON .
