This new apartment is being built by C. Fred Stewart, Evanston builder, at 1316 Maple avenue, and will contain eighteen apartments. The work of construction is nearing com- pletion and it is announced that it will be ready for occupancy October 1. The new building is being completed at a cost of $325,000 which probably sets a new record for an eighteen apartment building. There will be six apartments of seven rooms and twelve of four rooms. The rental for the larger apartments is $300 and for the smaller ones $150. In planning Thirteen Sixteen--that is the name by which the building will be known--the owner and architect concentrated to produce something different in the way of apartments and the result of their efforts is an apart- ment home of new and unusual fea- tures. The fact that the building which fronts 70 feet on Maple avenue and extends a full 200 feet to the alley has only 18 apartments, gives hint that the builder has designed an apartment building which is not "just an apartment." The lot frontage is 100 feet. Thirteen Sixteen will provide all the features of a deluxe--the owner has carefully avoided that much abused term--apartment and much besides. It is designed to create the atmos- phere of a high class hotel or country club with all of the advantages of both and at the same time permit the apart- ment dweller to enjoy the home en- vironment. The outstanding features of this new apartment briefly set down are: There will be but one entrance to the - building, which leads into a big vestibule and a lobby which extends almost the full length of the building. 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 will be a large open air patio in which privacy is assured by a high brick wall 'on the south side of the building. There will be a spacious nine hole golf putting course on the north side of the building. There will be a smoking and loung- ing 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. The art of the architect has been demonstrated effectively on the ex- terior of the building as well as the interior. It is of English Gothic de- sign. 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 sit. To the right of the vestibule is the maids' reception room and entrance to the maids' living rooms; to the left are the bachelor rooms, which may be occupied by chauffeurs of the apart- ment dwellers. This arrangement en- ables a complete separation of the tenants {rom their help. A door from the vestibule leads to the big lobby which is 12 feet wide. A wall fountain will be on one side and plans for artistic decoration of the lobby are being made. Leading off the lobby are the smoking and lounging room, the patio which will have a blue stone floor and many flowers and the bridge or ballroom. A passage on the north side of the building leads to the putting course which is being built by C. D. Wag- 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 to enter the garage. This first floor arrangement offers a clubby atmosphere and also the opportunity for a finer spirit of friend- liness than is possible in the average apartment building. All of the ten- ants of the 18 apartments will en- joy the advantages of the units mentioned. The women may en- tertain their friends at bridge or danc- ing and have luncheon or dinner serv- ice from the community kitchen, while the men may do their own entertain- ing in the smoking room and lounge. Then there is the putting course and 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 construction. 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 fire- places. There are built-in bookcases and other incidentals 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 closets in all apartments are cedar lined. The concealed type of radiator is being installed. of searching, there's a thrill ree re ee EE EE : : ' ho 3 in saying, 'At last we've : found exactly the right i H | home!"
