FASCINATION FOUND
IN NOME BUILDING
Permanent Joy Gained in
Sense of Ownership, Says
Model House Architect.
BY DELOS 11. SMITH.
Architect for the Georgian ivtacheil Model
Home in Wesley Heights.
Nothing fascinates the average per
son more than the project of home
building. It brings with it the de
light of accomplishment, and leaves
a permanent joy in the sense of own
ership. There is also the feeling of
security as a stimulus for achieve
ment, and nothing that the family
' can do is of more value ns an invest
ment. Such are the rewards of the
home owner.
The Evening Star, feeling the need
at the present time for emphasis of
these points, determined upon the
present demonstration as being a
contribution that it could make of
real benefit to the community. The
big task was undertaken and it was
realized from the first to be deserving
of most serioils consideration. Briefly
stated, the conception was to elevate
and inform local house building stand
ards, and the purpose simply in each
class was to do the very best house
that could be done.
Such a program naturally ppt each
architect and builder on his mettle,
and the results even where they fall
short of the ideal are expressive of
the wholehearted efforts of, and best
sort of co-operation between, all
parties concerned, for all have been
actuated by the spirit of the demon
stration and the hope that it may not
fall short of its mark.
