Talephan Douglas 4163 and lnd., A-1339 F UK most original and In many ! cases the most attractive homes ale built on hillside lo cutions. The nasou for this Is the fact that tho majority of lionies are built on level T io,s ur lots made level, so that when It comes to a hillside location tho designer Is compelled by the verv nature of things to resort (o originality In adapting the house to the location. A hilltide home, , specially If (he buck ground be rugged and mountainous, should by the breaking up of the roof lines correspond In Its ;v'mr.il contour to the ruggidnrss of the sur; oiltlding country. For this reason a house of col onial typo reuniting a rcctunmilar shape, with broad lines, always looks out of place on a hillside. Tin ro are three kinds of hillside lots: tl) Tho lots which Hope downward to ward tho street front tha rear; t? lots which slope to either side, bring higher at ono side of the front than tho other; t:l) lots which have their highest point at Hie sidewalk line snd slope down toward tho rear. Of the Hire, the latter Is the most difficult on which to build ul traiilvcly; In fact, tho only way to satis factorily meet the problems presented by a lot which slopes downward toward the i ear Is to place a wall- down the lot line on both sides as far as tlie rear corners of tho house, and then turn them In to meet the roar house corners, filling the space forward around the house up level. A flight of stops can be placed from this artificial terrace down to the lower grade In the rear and doors and windows can he placed In the basement at tho rear, the same as In tho flrxt story. To reach the kitchen In such a case a door Is usu ally placed In the basement, with a stair way up to the kitchen Inside, and no at tempt made to reach the kitchen directly by stairs from tho outside. A lot sloping from the rear to tho front with the lowest level at the front side walk lino Is also a very difficult one on which to build. The problems are here best met by placing several terrace at the front w1lh a llttlo flight of Htrps at the wall or back of each terrace and plan the bouse on the top terrace, practically ns though It were to be built on a level lot.

Such an ar rangement of course would only bo prac tical In a huge home, having servants, so that tho cook could send tho victuals up to tho waller In the butler's puntry. In most hillside homes the splendid amount of light and air available from nt least one side of the house makes tho basement on that side ot more value than It would ho in a houin built upon a level lot. These advantages are In most cases appreciated and used. Sometimes servants- bedrooms are) placed upon that sldo In tho basement, and again, billiard rooms, gymnasiums, dens, homo offices, with an outside en trance, und In one Instance known to tho writer a small ballroom, and In another lliHtanca a garage was placed, with tho entrunco on th lower side of the hlllshbi home. !
