r OF TEE BUSY HOME BUILDERS
BRICR IS REPLACING LUMBER
More Omaha Houses Are Being Built
on Permanent Basis.

A smaller dnmand for lumber next year
In proportion to the number of houses built
and a oorrttspondtnsly larger demand for
bniK and artificial atone and cement
product Is predicted aa one of the features
of the building world in Omaha. Of course,
there will be mors lumber uxed this year

that there will be more frame bouses built
and more houses of all kinds than last year
Hut the proportion of Increase in material
used in erectlnK Omaha homes will be
tiiuoh greater Ui brick,, atone and cement
than in wood.'
Cause and effect are curiously mlxvd in
this state of affairs. It is hard to say
whether prices bf building materials fell
kefors many plans had bron prepared for
fcext season's houses or whether the plans
were prepared as they now stand following
the fall In prices.
At all events, the building materials have

wall of biRh prices. In all lines the prices
huve fallen off. In lumber as well as in
brick and cement. But the latter two have
come down much more in proportion than
'.umber bas and this is why the houses to
be built In Omaha during the present year
will be more largely of the "permanent"'
materials than of lumber.
One of tho big houses recently com
pleted In the northwest suburban part of
the city is of the flno old Dutch gambrel.
roof type. A little poetry in this column
may act as a leaven. So remember what
a gambrel roof is by the lines of Oliver
Wendell Holmes:
Oambrel. Gambrel. Iet me beg
You'll look at a horse's hinder leg.
' Mm great angle above the hof
That's the gambrel. Hence gambrel roof.
The gambrel root on this house has a
moderate slope for a few feet on each side
of the ridge. Then there is a mora pro
nounced slope until near the eaves, where
it describes a graceful curve out to the
edge. This house is of frame, or else It
might be an almost exact counterpart oi
the hounes erected in New York and New
Jersey by the Dutch settlers. It Is a partic
ularly restful, homelike design. The broad
fcently sloping roof gives the suggestion of
a motherly hen protecting the brood of
chickens under her wing, while the ample
chimney represents the head raised soli
citously to see the first sign of danger.
The bouse has white windows, doors and
Kills. There is a big bronse knocker on the
front door and about the whole there is an
air of tho old-fashioned and the charming
mode of long ago.
"I notice that Omaha Is becoming more
and more a town of permanent building
und that more of these are being built with
every year that passes," said a man who
observes things. "This Is particularly true
as regards churches, schools and buslniBi
Mocks that have been built recently. Form
erly people were satiMfled wit h a structure
of wood. It could be built quickly at mint
mum cost and when it wore out another
could be built. Some even congratulated
themselves on this plan because It 'kepi
them up to date.'
"Now. the real beauty that cornea with
age to' buildings and the associations par
ticularly that cluster around a home In
which many generations live are the mos;
charming of attributes of buildings. Qo
to the old countries and see the charm
there la about bulldinns which have stood
the test of time. There they build to last.
Two, three, six hundred years are not to.)
long for buildings to be used. Here one
tenth of' that time Is often considered
amply sufficient and at the end of that t in
it la considered to have served its pur
pose. "But during the last few years building,
have been erected here which ought to lasl
centuries. Take such structures as the
High' school, the First Christian, Lowe
Avenue Presbyterian, Kountxe Memorial
Lutheran churches and many other build
ings. Ttme can only affect them slightly,
and the people who are living hereabouts
in the year of our Lord, 1608 ought to be
unlet them. Perhaps pUgrlmj ml tourist
will oonie from a distance to study the
quaint architecture of these structures as
we now go to cathedrals of Europe.
"It is a healthy sign. It shows that
people have ceased to regard this country
as a temporary abiding place. They are
building things to endure and, moreover,
they are getting over that mistaken idea
that only new buildings are desirable and
that a building Is valuable Inversely as its
age."
V .
A flat recently completed n Douglas
street illustrates the possibilities of plain
brick when treated with artistic eye to be
moulded into an attractive design for a
city house. The brick in Itself is pretty
If properly viewed. It lends Itself par
ticularly to an apartment house design of
stable nature. A porch of the same ma
terial, the brick wall being surmounted
by a coping of stone adds to the"heauty
of the whole. Thia model of house Is fin
ished well with heavy front doors of
Btately design and heavy bronxe fixtures
are also In place. A light of ornamental
iron fastened In the wall above the porch
is also useful aa well as ornamental and
adds tone to the whole. Architects say
there will be a goodly number, of houses
of this pattern built in Omaha this year.
It-is In a way a forecast of what the
downtown residence part of Omaha will
look like when It is finished permanently.
GOURLAY TRYING FOR RESORT
Financing; it Scheme fop Park ou
Tract North ad Fort
Omaha.
W. R. Gourlay of the Jewel theater is
financing a proposition to open an amuse
ment park on a twenty-three acre tract be
longing to the Parker estate, Just off of
Thirtieth street and about one mile north
of Fort Omaha. .
Mr. Oourlay has blue prints of the
schome of the park and proposes, If sue
cessful In financing It, to make an artlfl
clal lake 800 by 3.V) feet in a depression on
the tract. Several large springs will fur
nish the water.
Over the lake he plans to build a cafe
In the shape of an eighty foot octognn
with thirty-four-foot wings. The upper
story of this cafe is to be a dance hall
fo: private parties. A public dance hall
the same size as the cafe is al.no planned.
Automobile drives, promenades, and walks
are shown in the blue prints, and it Is
possible that an additional trnct will be
secured around which a race--track will be
laid out. The proposition calls for the ex
penditure of tit least rnno.ooo.
