M An Inspection Tour liOur conclusions were not drawn up- on theory and hearsay, for yire had pitst completed a thorough laymen's inspection of The Orrington. f §|We had "climbed" counties! stair- ways (the elevators have not as yet been? installed), and we had rejoiced 111 the reflected enthusiasm of the artist's voice as he talked of The Or- rington, his masterpiece. ; {There were bare walls, unfinished Corridors, the usual confusion of building with some of the 300 work• -#en at-every turn of the journey, but, jthrough it all, somehow we visualized f« Orrington of the not distant tte, lRit«bjwii(Son^,* 'thejfiti level, into the depths of the basement to the bakeries, storerooms and boiler rooms, thence up a flight of stairs and into Orrington avenue. "The Happier Mode of Living ; "the personality and spirit behind The Orrington believes that a con- science for the comfort and happiness of others brings its natural rewara without commercialismâ€"and that a is appreciated far more thSira!hoi of idle_ promises.p[t is these h« ideals that assure the utmost in coi fort, service and happiness for th< who make The Orrington their home! I Starting at the main entrance we law in their formative stages the palm Courts, reception courts, elevator lob- mr, the spacious Tudor lounge, a real- ty unique feature unknown to most of the finest hotels, apartment or{ trans- ient; the main dining room, of Ital- ian design, already emitting its sug- gestion of coziness and homelike ap- pointment; the smaller private dining and banquet halls. 1^;C0 ||. Home Feature* Emphasized ft We saw a room that, the builders jplan, shall be a comfortable, up-to- date library; we peered into a cozy nook off the Tudor Lounge that will be a typically home-like writing room. Then the climb to the heights, with brief, stop-overs on. every floor to g*impse various one, two and three, four and five room apartments?' S; ; Every apartment, we are told, is an outside apartment. All have tile floors and wainscot baths, with showers and running ice water. Many have elec- tric kitchenette service cabinets with gritt, refrigerator, sink, etc. Two- jroom apartments have wait beds in the living rooms, supplementing the regular beds in the chambers, giving accomodations for four people. Lighting facilities are generous and every detail is designed to promote an atmosphere of refinement, com- fort, and security. And closet room. It is indeed a revelation. Closet spaces in all apartments, regardless of size, are as large as the chamber^ of the average hotel. It is a feature The Orrington emphasizes along with the other conveniences of real home 1 iving. r'-j^t^^^C^,'k-i': 'â- â- '.. 'â- â- "•'-..": . -â- . The outlooks from the various win- dows are magnificent. Beautiful Evanston, a forest of trees with the J broad expanse of the lake to the east, | becomes more and more enchanting as we climb floor upon floor. * * Birdseye Revelations But, a genuine revelation is in store for us as we rise above the eighth floor and enter that light ceil- inged majestic ballroom with portals leading out upon what will eventually be spacious, breezy roof gardens. We step through the lofty archways and glance to the southeast. The Wrigley tower and the spires of the Chicago Temple building are quite discernible, the municipal pier is dis- tinct enough, the loop skyscrapers are distant palisades; on the east, a strip of grove that is fashionable Evanston, then, the broad stretches of Lake Michigan; on the north the nearby campus buildings peeping through the heavy foliage of trees and, the biggest surprise of all, the westward curving shore line that per- mits of a view of the lake tn th^ northwest, the shoreline of Winnetka, Highland Park and Lake Forest. It is northwest, that Winnetka shore- line. The center of that village, we are told, is just four miles west of a point due north of the Grosse Point Lighthouse, lying just north of The Orrington. vv The Gentlemen's Den But our climb has not been com- pleted. Our enthusiasm oyer the view has for the time dissipated thought of all else. We go still higher and in- to the "tower". Not a small affair, for there will be housed there a size- able gentlemen's den, with its billiard parlors, card rooms and smoking dens leading out upon breezy promenades. We are not equal to the task of description. We can only marvel and wonder at it all, as we start the des- cent which leads us down, down, down, At tfie Bob G*LtnJ^|HuUabf|Ioo," §§-§1'â- :•; l:-::S§ff:'}m fbv exarripXe^ '"'Sfe?'"'
