Text Appearing Before Image:
The house for Mr. Robert S. Atkins is built on a lot 28 and 117 feet,raised to a great height above the sidewalk level. By placing the building toone side of the lot, the free space has been in efifect treated with an exisdnggarden on the adjoining property, and the house, although on an interior lot, 62 THE ARCHITECT AND ENGINEER has been given the advantages of a corner exposure. This has permittedthe placing of the main entrance at the center, instead of at the end of theplan, thereby allowing much more freedom in arrangement, and preservinga fine view over the Palace of Fine Arts, San Francisco Bay, and* the hillsof Marin County.

Bell, San Francisco altered building contains five apartments provided with first-class modernequipment; which, leased for three years, yield a yearly return of $10,700.The architectural transformation has been no less convincing than thefinancial one. The street views breathe charm and distinction, untaintedby the musty odor of alteration. The interesting lattice dome serves thedouble purpose of effectively terminating the passage from street to en-trance, and of screening this passage from adjoining windows of theapartments as well as from unsightly constructions on property beyond.The interior view shows that the rooms of these old houses can really bemade livable for people of taste.—I. F. M. THE ARCHITECT AND ENGINEER 63
