NEVVBUILDING IDEAS EMl555lED IN STRUCTURE Model Sanitary Bath Rooms, Stoves That Are Ever-lit, Sun Parlors, Etc. The new apartment house, just completed by George E. Browning and located on the corner of Washington and Twenty-seventh streets, is one of the most modern structures of the kind in the state. Before building, Mr. Browning took the care to personally inspect many of the best apartment houses in Salt Lake City, particularly the newer ones, with the intent to embody In his own building the latest and best Ideas developed in the construction of apartments, and In the building of the Browning every known practical device for convenience and comfort has been included for the benefit of the tenants. The new house contains fifteen apartments, all of -which were rented before the building was completed. John G. Ellis, whose planing mill Is located at 265S Wall avenue, was the general contractor for the building. Ellis has been in the general contracting and building business in Ogden for a number of years and has constructed large buildings which now ornament the city, and many residences. His mill on Wall avenue Is one of the best equipped in the state. - Other contractors on the building are: Henry Bateman, 3048 Ogden avenue, concrete work; George H. Green-well Green-well &. Sons, 231 Twenty-second street, brick work; Halverson Bros.. 2350 Grant avenue, heating and plumbing; Redfield Electric b Machine company, 314 Washington avenue, electrical work; D. M. Dills, 1130 Capital avenue, plastering; Peter Anderson, 452 Twenty-eighth street, painting, and George A. Lowe company, 2326 Washington avenue, ave-nue, building hardware. The beautiful red gum hardwood used in the interior finishing, the oak for flooring, etc., and much of the finishing lumber was furnished by the overland Lumber company, yards at Twenty-fourth street and Wall avenue. The Overland Lumber company recently purchased the business of the Weber Lumber company, the same men who were associated with the Weber company now being with the Overland. Exterior Style. The exterior aspect of the Browning as shown by the illustration gives the building an attractive and substantial substan-tial appearance. The foundation Is of a splendid quality of concrete, also the entire floor of the basement and the laundry room walls and floor. The concrete foundation walls extend above the surface of the ground level to a height of about three feet. Over this concrete for the outer wall is a finish in a very pretty mottled brick which extends some five feet above the concrete and the remaining height of the four-floor structure Is of buff brick. These two styles of brick are products of the Harrlsville yards. The mottled brick has a strikingly attractive appearance, ap-pearance, n smooth finish and Is of hard and firm texture. This brick is the result of a special process of continuous continu-ous burning which holds the gases. The brick work for the Browning was done by George H. Greenwell & Sons, for many years brick contractors la Ogden. Sun Parlors. A prominent feature of the exterior plan Is the large columns which ornament the front from the ground to the top of the building. There are four sets of these columns and each set Is utilized as the exteriors of the cozy sun parlors which they inclose. In each set from column to column there are pretty stucco panels which form orna mental details. Pretty bay windows at each end of the building and several fashionable appearing entrances const! tute ornamental and useful features of the construction, and the casement windows with ornamental leaded glass tops used throughout the building add to the generally artistic appearance of the Browning. Beautiful Interior. The house has In all fifteen separate apartments or flats, some of which have four rooms, others five. The inte rior arrangement of these flats is most convenient and the finishing elegant. The walls are plastered with a smoott hard finished cement plaster, the work of J. M. Dills. The floors of the living rooms and dining rooms are laid ir Mississippi oak, the bed rooms in maple and the bathrooms in octagonal tiling. The finishing wood for the living rooms and dining rooms is Mississippi red gum, left in its natural color, and showing beautiful grain lines. Betweer the living rooms and dining rooms are very pretty colonades or buttresses, very modern and after the pretty South ern California styles. The wood finish In the bed rooms, kitchens and bathrooms are all in triple ivory enamel. Eact kitchen has installed in It a modern gas range which by a special device attached is ever lit. The bath rooms arc dreams of elegance. With their tile floors, porcelain tile walls, floor-fitting porcelain tubs and the latest and besl of fixtures they are sanitary models, the product of Halverson Bros., who also Installed the heating system for the house. Dainty Bed Rooms. The bed rooms are very dainty, the doors are of very pretty natural hardwood, some having a full length mlr ror in front; the floors are in maple, the wood triple ivory enameled and the walls the prettiest kind of tints, ele gantly done and different in each flat or apartment. The color scheme for all the walls, woodwork, etc., for all the apartments is a most admirably worked-out combination of life and soft tones beautifully harmonized. This paint ing and decorating is the work of Peter Anderson. Special Heating. The description of the pretty and artistic part of the structure, however, does not tell the whole story, for th useful, the necessary and the utility requirements for thoroughly up-to-date living abodes nre worthy of special at tention in describing tho Browning. For instance, every room in the building, Including bath rooms, has a radiatoi for heating. The very best of provisions have been made for heating amply tho whole building and every room Ir It by a modern steam heating system especially designed by Halversons. Then there are the sleeping porches, mod ern and sanitary In every detail. The electric service for the whole building was planned with the utmost care. The system installed Is the work of the Redfield Electric & Machine company, and is complete from the wiring to th 1 vacuum cleaning and Iron socket service. Pretty Fixtures. The lighting fixtures, consisting of dainty indirect bowls for the living rooms and dining rooms, are of very prettj patterns. Those in the kitchens, bath and bed rooms are specially designed and adapted to their use. All the fix tures wero assembled and made In the plant of Redfielas. The building hardware used In the construction of the Browning is of the best. The locks and door checks are the Russel & Irwin Manufacturing company's make, thi same quality a6 those used on the great new State Capital Building. These and the other hardware were furnishec by the George A. Lowe company. All in all the Browning is an admirable structure and a creditable addition to th city's buildings.
