Beautiful Homes of Omaha Citizens
Omaha In a rlty .f beautiful homes. The
casual visitor, taking a ride about the olty.
I Impressed hy the number of fine reel-
dcnccs In many portion of the city and
the universal air of prosperity, even In
those parts where working people live ex- I
cluMvely. The many palatial homes look t
well kept; the cottage of the mechanic and
the laborer look well kept, too. Few eltlos ,
In the country have such a small propor-
Hon of Til-appearing dwellings.
Hy Ms position on the river and by rea-
so'n of the contour of the country selected ;
hy the pioneers for their city's site. Omaha
was pre-eminently endowed by nature to
I come a city of homes. Hilltops end
'W?9 terraced and (rreenswarded end recently purchased the beautiful home on
Aiudded with trees, stretch from the river the northeast corner of Twentieth and Lo
to the city's uttermost western limits, glv- Icust streets. The home was built by a well
Ins; a scenic appearance such as cannot be
afforded by a level city. From the hilltops
one can see through the hase the silver
thread of the Missouri wlndlnir Its way
southward between banks clothed with
verdure. Trees were en the site In plenty
before the foundations a the town were
laid, and In suoh places as they were not
the citizens planted them so long; ago that
today It Is only in the very newest addi
tions you can drive outside the shady
avenues of maples and elms. In every di
rection the streets are broad and flanked
by beautiful lawns.
Tlenty of breathing- space abounds In
Omaha; the houses are not orowded to
gether. Omahans believe In enloylng
elbow room, and they have not tried to j
plant their city on a little patch of ground;
they have stretched It out until Its people
get all of a metropolitan city's conveni
ences without some of Its cramped Incon
veniences. Omaha believes In parks. A number of
beautiful shady grass plots of many acres
extent lire maintained by the city and
make a recreation place for thousands.
Hunscom Park and Rlvervlew are Ideal
spots for a summer afternoon's enjoyment,
and In other parts of the city are smaller
parks, such as Kountse, Bemls and Cur
tins Turner with their Inviting coolness.
People like to live In a olty where grass
and trees are plentiful. So to make Omaha
beautiful the Park board a planning now
parks and boulevards. Two boulevsrds
wind through the city now and thousands
of carriages and automobiles are seen on
them dally. At a short distance from the
clly and accessible by trolley car and rail
road, are recreation places In abundance.
Luke Manawa, Cut Off lake, Florence,
Hellevue, Miller park. Elm wood park and
other Inviting places are within a few
miles. These are a few of the summer
play grounds of the metropolis of Ne
braska. The Country club, tha Field club and the
Happy Hollow club are places where mem
bers may go to play golf all day or while
away the evening hours In eating, dancing
or vlultlng with friends. Of course these
clubs are only for members, but the beauty
of the grounds makes the Immediate neigh
borhood attractive as residence districts for
people of moderate means.
If Omul. a Kas a wdll-deflned "swell'
residence section. It Is the West Famam
district, though portions of Kountze Place
ami other districts of the city lay claim to
being lust as "swell." In tho area bounded
by Thirty-fourth and Fortieth streets and
Jackson and Dodge are found the largest
number of One residences such mansions
as those of EL A. Cudahy, E. V. Lewis,
John M. paugherty, T. J. Mahoney, Gottlieb
01 on and A. D. Brandels. All over the city
fcrq.emnll clusters of costly homes, grouped
found such centers as the mansions of i
ifn
"ni ge A. Josryn at Thirty-ninth . and
F'avenport streets, or that of ' Henry W.
Yates, at Thirty-first and Davenport.
Down on South Tenth street. In what was
once the fine residence section, the old
Kountse residence stands alone In its
rlory. being now the home of a girls' club.
Many nice homes of more moderate preten
sion are found along the street.
The majority of working people of Omaha
live In comfortable artistic houses. It costs
hut little more to have a neat house and
lawn than to let the house go unpalnted
nnd tho lawn uncut. Omaha appreciates
this to the fullest and the districts of mod
est homes are made attractive. The work
man has money to make his home attrac
tive, for the wheels of commerce are turn
ing at a rapid rale in the Oate City and
more work at higher wages is offered than
ever before.
Omaha is drawing to Itself many retired
farmers and trades people from all over
the state to spend tholr declining years and
give their families metropolitan advan
tages. In looking about for a city in which
to locate, they find that Omaha is a city
of churches. It offers fine school facilities.
It Is tho great railroad center between
Chicago and the Pacific, It has an equable
climate, cheap electricity, moderately cheap
gas, good water, a beautiful appearance and i
a congenial, high-bred population. Be
sides, it is of a size which warrants fre
quent entertainments by the best of dra
matic and op'ra compenles, horse shows,
bands and lecturers. It Is a city fitted alike
for the comfort, education and amusement
of manltli'd.

Fifty - fourth and Farnam etrets. stands on
a five-acre tract which Mr. Ely secured
some fifteen ycura ago. This part of Omaha
Is known an the Wml Dodge district, and
among the many attractive homes In the
district, and further west, "The Iatch
8trlng," as Mr. Kly calls his home, Is one
of tho prize winners. Mr. Ely Is head of
the Ely machinery house on Douglas street,
being one of the plonker dealers In gasoline
engines and supplies
One of those fortunate In securing; a home
within a short distance of Kountie park,
on the north side. Is Joseph Levine, who
known contractor for his own residence.
It was so attractive, with Its massive brick
and frame work, that Mr. Levine purchased
i, n. rorapieo me worn aooui re. f
making; the home one of the most .beautiful ,
on the Twentieth street boulevard. Mr. i
Levine has made his horns In Omaha far the
past twenty-eight years, and for the past
ten years has been engaged In the furniture
business at 304 North Sixteenth street.
So nearly a model cottage Is the residence
of Oeorge T. Morton, at 810 South Thirty
first street, that a number of cottages have
been built on the same plan In different
parts of the city, though Mr. Morton's
home has been completed less than three
years. Located In the Hnn scorn part 41s-
trlct, It Is a change in the park landscape
from the massive apartment houses located
about it, and admired by many who had.
before It was erected. Invested In the
larger homes.
Looking down an avenue of stately shade
trees, the view presented from the home of
C. B. Liver, 829 Park avenue. Is one of the
rare views In the Hanscom park district.
Mr. Liver selected the avenue as one of
the most desirable In the city and erected
his residence several years ago. It is one
of the most modern In the city and one of
tho first to be finished in the new oak fin
ishing wood. Besides an unusually attrac
tive woodwork Interior, marble and wood
fireplaces and mantels, make the Liver
home one of the examplos of the architect's
art. which makes the south side desirable
as a residence district.
" With two large "Queen Ann" windows,
the A. O. Sungren residence at till Mason
street Is one of the homes which make
up the fabric of "Beautiful Omaha." The
home stands on a prominent lot 50x150 feet,
overlooking the boulevard which looks to
ward Hanscom park. It Is thoronghly mod
ern tn every way and Its exterior betrays
the' fact that the architect combined orig
inality with the plans of economical homes
in making the blue prints for the hand
some residence. Mr. Sungren is a well
known baker at Twenty-eighth and Leav
enworth streets and the residence at S11S
Mason street has Just been completed.
"Tho Pen" would be a suitable name for
the elegant home of T. J. Foley, wholesale
and retail liquor dealer, who has erected
recently a pressed brick residence at 638
Georgia avenue, overlooking the city of
Omaha, and fitted It with the den of a
king. Mr. Foley Is a collector of Indian
goods, as well at peclmens of the taxider
mists art, and In the den are specimens of
everything from the ring of a Digger In
dian to the war bonnet of a Little Sioux.
.Then there are 134 kinds of birds, which
Mr. Foley has secured with his own rifle.
Animals, mounted In a lifelike way, are
also ornaments of the unique den. The
home Is on a lot with a front of 117 feet,
and one of the most beautiful on the popu
lar residence street, Georgia avenue. .
"Rosemere" Is the name of the new
model country home of Thomas D. Crane
of Omaha, situated a mile northwest from
Florence on the top of what Is probably
the highest point in Douglast county, where
a commanding view Is to be had of the
Missouri river for miles, as well as all the
surrounding country. The house Is a com
bination of the colonial and picturesque
residence architecture of America. Strik
ing In appearance are the broad porchea,
with a new Idea known as a breakfast
room, enclosed entirely with screens and
connecting with the Inner dining room. A
balcony bed room, opening from the second
floor to the south, and alao Inclosed with
screens. Is another novelty. Mr. Crane has
every convenience which oould be had In
a large olty, as his electric lights, private
water works system and private Ice house
give him all conveniences. A twa-acre or
chard la growing fast to time for bearing
fruit and a seven-acre tract Is laid out In
the rear of the house as a private park.
The Interior of the house is artistic in
every sense, the drawing rooms and hall
