Text Appearing Before Image:
two and three room modern apartment. Our late ninety flats were designed tomeet the needs of a large family where thewifes main object in life was the care of herhome and family, and housekeeping wasan art. But today the average wife wishesto spend as little time at housework as pos-sible. This requires the maximum of con-veniences so arranged to necessitate theminimum of effort in the care and operationof them. So we find an abundance of flatsto rent, and very little likelihood of theirimmediate occupancy. The only practicalthing to do with these antiquated buildingsis to change them into two and three roommodern apartments, where the situationwarrants it, or tear them down and buildnew structures planned and equipped formodern needs.

ABOVE—HOUSE AT 69 5TH AVENUE, SAN FRANCISCO. BEFORE ALTERATIONS BELOW—THE SAME HOUSE AFTER ALTERATIONSAlbert Farr, Architect; J. Francis Ward, Associate THE ARCHITECT AND ENGINEER ^ 12 ^ FEBRUARY, NINETEEN THIRTY-FIVE Some of the owners of this type of prop-erty have attempted to modernize by em-ploying jerry builders. Having plaster-ed the front and made a few slight changesto the interior, these owners think theyhave done all that is necessary to attractdesirable tenants. Still these houses re-main vacant. If we analyze what the own-ers have done or rather, what they havenot done to them, we will find that theyhave failed completely to change the pro-portions, scale, or character of their prop-erty. A good coat of paint would have ac-complished the same result with a greatsaving to the owner. Even the most expertdesigner could not do what they tried todo; that is to go to the building and afterlooking it over say that by leaving off thisand that, and putting on a new entrance KA
