Show Flats Supplanting Dwellings. The single dwelling with a front and back yard Is giving way, even In the smaller cities of the United States, to the modern apartment house, according ac-cording to a report of 1920 building operations issued by the United States chamber of commerce. It shows that last year 70 per cent of the families provided with new homes got one-family dwellings ; 11 per cent, two-family dwellings, and 19 per cent, a multi-family multi-family dwelling. The proportion of multi-family dwellings was largest In the small cities. |
