It is of the Span- ish type of architecture, with tile roof, and its feature design is also carried out on the interior. In addition to the seven spacious rooms there is also a large sun room, with tile floor, which type of flooring is also featured in the reception hall. There are two bath rooms and also an attached garage. The house has a pretty setting on a lot with an east frontage of 61 feet and at the edge of picturesque Skokie valley, along which are springing up so many of the at- tractive new north shore homes BUYS WILMETTE LOT George Gauger has purchased through R.

Breaks Ground for New English Home in Hubbard Woods Charles E. Olewine, of 732 Park ave- nue, Wilmette, who has built many pretty homes along the north shore, broke ground for another one this week, in Hubbard Woods, which he says should be proof against fault find- ing from the most exacting person who is looking for a seven room house, in this area of the north shore. It is located at 1447 Asbury avenue on a fifty foot south front lot, with a depth of 160 feet. The house is a two story English Normandy type of seven room, two baths, breakfast nook and attached garage. Stone and brick are to be used in the construction, with cel- otex insulation all around. A wrought iron balcony and similar trim in front will further feature the exterior de- sign. One of the bath rooms will be done in green and orchid tile and the other in black and white. Both will be fea- tured with colored tile wainscoting. The first floor will be done in sand finish plaster with dark walnut trim, and the second floor walls and wood work will be painted.
