YING to the north of Washing- 
 if-X^,^ ton, scarcely beyond the limits of 
 ' the District of Columbia, and bor- 
 dering on the picturesque and ro- 
 mantic Rock Creek where it threads 
 its tortuous course through the 
 fertile meadows and wooded hills 
 of Montgomer) County, Maryland, 
 is F"orest Glen Park, a tract which 
 for more than a half a century has 
 been renowned for its natural at- 
 tractiveness. Its towering trees, 
 rippling brooks, sunny slopes, and winding ave- 
 nues, combine in forming a spot which for 
 natural beauty is seldom rivaled. 
 As long ago as 1826, a company of gentlemen, recognizing its 
 advantages, purchased and subdivided it, but the demand of Wash- 
 ington for suburban property was then limited, and the project after 
 a few years was abandoned and the park disposed of. Since then all 
 efforts looking toward its purchase have been futile, until the autumn 
 when "The Forest Glen Improvement Company" concluded negotia- 
 tions, and came into possession of the property. No sooner were 
 the deeds passed, than a most liberal policy was adopted, with the 
 purposes in view of affording the citizens of ^^'ashington what 
 
there had been a demand for. namely : a health) , well located, 
 and easily accessible suburban villay^e, ami in addition, a commo- 
 dious summer hotel, which siiould be especially adapted to the 
 wants of the very large class of officials and business men who find 
 it necessary or pleasant to remain near Washington during the summer 
 months. This, in brief, is the history of Forest Glen Park, the name 
 of which is hereafter to be as insolubly associated with that of the 
 National Capitol, as Bryn Mawr is with Philadelphia, Roxbury with 
 Boston, or Tu.xedo Park witii New \'ork. 
 
 Washington, with its great and rapidly increasing population, has 
 been practically without suburbs until recently, and up to the present 
 time there has been no ])lacc which combined the many necessary 
 requisites of a pleasant suburban town which should bring together 
 under favorable circumstances the benefits of both city and countrw 
 
 That Forest Glen is such a place is be)ond controversy. It is 
 located on the double tracked main western line of the great Baltimore 
 and Ohio Railroad, the onl\- line nmning out of the city above the ri\er 
 level. It is but a half mile from the northern terminus of the proposed 
 Nalioiial Rock Creek Park. It is 340 feet above the Potomac, anil 
 from a number of places in the Park glinijjses of the Washington 
 Monument and the cupola of the Soldiers' Home maybe had. .Sixteen 
 trains a day (eight each way) stop at the picturesque station which 
 is within a few • moments' walk from the remotest corner of the Park. 
 
 These advantages, taken in connec- 
 tion with the fact that the location 
 is one of the healthiest and most 
 beautiful in the country, that 
 there is abundance of pure 
 water, that malaria is practically 
 unknown and that the surrountl- 
 ing country is prosperous andtejiv 
 thickly populated, make Forest' 
 Glen an ideal spot for the location' 
 of permanent homes, in which, and 
 al)out which ilicrc will be the greatest 
 enjoyments and most wholesome advantages.

 \^' The Forest Glen Improvement Com- 
 S'Opany, the sole owners of The Park 
 and the Inn, is organized upon a broad 
 and liberal basis, and for the permanent 
 improvement of this delightful suburb, 
 rather than for speculative purjioses. Nothing will 
 be overlooked which will add to either the attractive- 
 ness or the value of the place. No effort will be 
 spared which will benefit those who purchase villa- 
 sites for the purposes of residence, and the most 
 liberal concessions will be offered t(^ those who buy 
 and build. A number of beautiful houses are now in 
 process of erection, and there is every indication that 
 a large number will be commenced during the sum- 
 mer and fall. The Inn will always add an enjoyable 
 social feature to Forest Glen. 
 
 Plats of the 
 Park, and all de- 
 sired information 
 can be had at any 
 time at the office 
 of the Company, 
 1006 F Street, 
 N. W., Wash- 
 ington, D. C., or 
 at Forest Glen. 
 
OrXTRY homes adjacent to a lartje city like 
 W asliin^ton, convey to the imas^nnation at 
 once an idea of rest, comfort, ami enjoxrnent. 
 An oKlsayinir has it that •' Man made the cities, 
 God the countr\." Art. science, and wealth 
 ma)- ere-ct b.autitul and imposing' houses in a 
 metropolis, but thert' is ever lackinjLj that pecu- 
 liar charm which onh the fields and meadows, 
 brooks and glades can lend. The general ac- 
 ceptanct; of this truth is probably one of the 
 greatest impulses for suburban life. Another 
 is found in the fact that city values and valua- 
 tion are often so high as to prohibit home build- 
 ing b\ a ver>- large class of people who can find 
 in such suburban villages as Forest Glen Park, 
 an opportunit)' to surround themsehes with 
 every comfort at far less cost than would be 
 necessary to secure a city residence. 
 In sub-(li\ iding the Park, the avenues which are to lie macadam- 
 ized are broad and of easy grades, and have been so laid out as to 
 conform as nearly as possible to the natural topography of the 
 land, in every case the aim being to insure handsome villa sites 
 rather than to crowd as many town lots as possible into a limited 
 space, regardless of their natural location or surface. By a strict ad- 
 herence to this rule almost every lot has a fine frontage of from 
 75 to 200 feet, and a desirable spot for the erection of a house. The 
 sites vary in size from six to twenty-four tliousand square feet, anil 
 each possesses an individual and characteristic charm. The luxuriant 
 growth of heavy forest timber, which is the 
 crowning glory of Forest Glen Park, affords 
 each purchaser to choose both the amount -^f^} 
 and nature of the shade which he will pre- y--' ■f^^^^r-^ij 
 serve about his home. ^^^'^■- 
 
 The surface of the Park is broken and varied. There is a gen- 
 eral and tleciiled incline from the Railroatl westward to Rock Creek, 
 where it suddenly ends in a precipitous and rugged decline of eighty 
 feet, at the foot of which the broad and picturesque Rock Creek 
 
dances merrily along', dodging un- 
 der the overhanging shade or glis- 
 tening in the open sunlight. Wind- 
 ing its way along the summit of 
 this cliff for more than half a mile 
 is Prospect Avenue, from any point 
 on which a \iew may be had of al- 
 most rnatchless beauty. The coun- 
 try lies like a panorama below one 
 for miles to the west and northward. 
 The variegated fields, the pretty 
 homes and substantial barns, and 
 the interspersing woodlands all 
 combine to form an attractive natu- 
 ral picture as lasting as the hills 
 themselves. 
 
 There is perhaps no greater 
 charm about Forest Glen Park than 
 its topograph)- to which reference 
 has been made. It seems as if nature 
 had always intended this particular 
 spot for a park, so gracefully are 
 the glades, plateaus, ravines, and 
 glens intermingled, some sugges- 
 tions of the predominant features 
 
had from the names of the windincj and 
 intersecting avenues, among which are High- 
 land, Prospect, Summit, Oakland. Rockland, 
 Glen, Linden, and Hillside. 
 
 Another feature which makes Forest Glen a 
 desirable place for a suburban home is its prox- 
 imity to Washington and the ease with which ic 
 can be reached by either drive or rail. By rail, 
 connection with the city m^y be had by a pleas- 
 ant twenty-five minutes' ride at almost any hour 
 of the day, on trains arranged especialh' for the 
 convenience of suburban travel. The old Na- 
 tional pike from Washington to tlie west, known 
 locally as the Seventh Street Road, by whicii 
 Forest Glen Park is reached, offers a drive over 
 its smooth surface which is never so muddy as to 
 be impassable, and which is one of the most 
 sightly and best maintained boule\ards in the 
 country, as far as the District of Columbia limits, 
 being kept in perfect repair by the V. S. Gov- 
 ernment. From the District line to the Park the 
 drive is but a short one over the same road, which 
 is macadamized and kept in good condition. 
 The Park may also be reached by the TennalK- 
 lown road, which is intersected by the romantic 
 and justly famous Woodley Lane drive at Oak 
 View, the President's country seat. 
 
 One of the most important things 
 to be taken into serious consideration 
 in selecting a location for a suburban 
 home, is the opportunity for good sew- 
 erage and surface drainage. Here, 
 again, is the great superiority of For- 
 est Glen shown over any other place. 
 
.(% 
 
 for such is the "lay of ihe land" that a 
 fall of seventy feet is obtainable within 
 half a mile from any point in the Park, 
 and the owners are now surxeying with 
 the purpose in view of constructing a large 
 main sewer and branches, which may be 
 tapped with little trouble and expense by 
 all house owners. This broad and pro- 
 gressive policy has been adopted so as to 
 insure perfect health and freedom from 
 disease arising from contaminated water 
 or soil. The undulating natural surface 
 of the Park provides a most perfect sys- 
 tem of surface drainage, the surplus being 
 carried off by the pretty brooks which 
 wind through the glens. 
 
 Numerous springs are found at vari- 
 ous points in the Park, some of them 
 throwing out a steady and enormous 
 volume of water ; some also show marked 
 medicinal qualities which have made them 
 well known for years among the neigh- 
 boring residents. Good water can also be had at any point in the 
 Park by sinking wells from 20 to 40 feet. 
 
 The immense quarries of granitic stone bordering on Rock 
 Creek would furnish rock enough to erect a city, and the owners 
 have decided to give those who build all they need in the erection 
 of their houses free of charge, the parties using it to pay the cost of 
 quarrying only. This will prove a considerable saving. No better 
 quality of stone can be had, and it was from this identical quarry 
 that the Baltimore and Ohio R. R. procured all the rock it needed 
 for the construction of the bridges and culverts on the Metropoli- 
 tan Branch. 
 
 The beautiful Poorest Inn, which is described in detail further on, 
 will always lend a great charm to the Park as a place of residence, 
 and it is not at all improbable that it will be kept open and full of 
 
u;-uests all the year around. The plats of l-'orest (ik-n Park are open 
 for inspection at the company's office, 1006 ]■ St., X. W'., and can also 
 be hail of the leadint^ Real Estate dealers. The Manager, Mr. A. '1". 
 Hensey, will he read)- at all times to show intending purchasers over 
 the Park, and to make prices and terms of the most favorable nature.

 FAIR idea ol the attractions antl advantages of- 
 fered b) the Forest Inn can hardly be conveyed 
 in a few brief pages. The aim of the owners 
 has been to erect a roomy, comfortable summer 
 home, artistic in all its details antl convenient 
 in all Its appointments. The architecture and 
 furnishings of the building are Queen Anne, a 
 style which atlmits of such free treatment antl 
 results in such charming effects. The irchitect, 
 Mr. T. V. Schneider, and the builder, Mr. W. P. 
 Lipscoml), were gi\en perfect freedom, with in- 
 structions to build well and thoroughK', regard- 
 less of narrow economies. The result is an edi- 
 fice which is justly a source of pride, not onl\' to 
 its owners but to Washington, tor there is not a 
 handsomer or more picturesque Inn south of 
 Philadelphia, or one better adapted to the wants 
 
 of those who desire a healthy antl attrac- 
 tive home, or temporary resting place. 
 
 SCoCtttloU. I liL' picture to be found 
 on another page conveys an excellent idea 
 of the general appearance of the exterior. 
 The building stands u|)on the broatl sum- 
 mit of the highest elevation In the Park, 
 snrroumled by one of the most beautiful of 
 groves, its pointeti towers being visiiilc for 
 long tlistances in any tlirection. Scarcely 
 two hundred yards away, and consitlerably 
 below the Inn, is the picturestjue railroati 
 station, antl from the broatl verandas of 
 the Inn a fine view of passing trains is ob- 
 tained. The walk to anil from the station 
 
is a charm in<^ 
 one, its roman- 
 tic nature be-

 rile Inn is a 
 frame struc- 
 t u re , three 
 stories in 
 lu;ight, w i t h 
 its steep root 
 relieved by pretty gables and gracefr.l 
 towers. It has a frontage of 275 feet 
 and is entirel)' surrounded b)' porches vary- 
 ing in width from eight to fourteen feet. The 
 main hall, which is used as an office, is illus- 
 trated on another page. Its homelike and com- 
 fortable appearance gives the visitor at once a 
 suggestion of the atmosphere which pervades 
 every portion of the building. There is an 
 entire absence of anythiuir sugro-estive of 
 formality in its furnishing. Easy chairs, 
 9^^,, rich portieres, beautiful decorations 
 
 and paneled ceilings lend to it an in- 
 describable charm. At the right is a large brick hrc-place of old Dutch 
 jiattern, with high mantel and swinging crane, being flanked at either 
 side with cozy ingle-nooks offering tempting hospitality on chill)- tlays. 
 To the left and just beyond the archway leading into the dining-room 
 corridor is the heavy cherry staircase, leading up to a platform from 
 which a turn is made so as to throw the main portion of the stairwa)' 
 across the end of the hall and in full view, having as abackofround the 
 beautiful stained glass windows made ior the Inn from special designs. 
 Alcove the hall is a large and tastefull)- furnished room specially 
 dedicated to the ladies. This room opens through spacious wimlows

 of the room itself. Startini^ from the ladies' sittintj^-room are two 
 broad corridors runninji to either end of the building. 
 
 The aiuiug-iilocim. Jhe dinins^-room is situated on the main 
 Hoor, and is sixty feet lon^, forty widt-, and sixteen high. Broad 
 windows reaching to the floor open out upon porches on either 
 side, thus insuring a comfortable temperature at all times. .\t the 
 end of the room opposite the main entrance is a deep and high brick 
 fire-place, surmounted li\ a huge pair of antlers. Tlie ceiling of the 
 room, like that of the main hall, is jianeletl in handsome woods. 
 
 yUc ^IccpiuO iJ'otims. Every sleeping room is large and 
 comfortable, being fmishi-d in natural woods, and furnished with oak 
 or ash chamber suits of artistic designs. The beds are furnished with 
 woven wire springs and the best of mattresses and linen. The loca- 
 tion of the house is such that tach room gets the sun at certain 
 hours. This and the high location of the building itself provide 
 .igainst any possibility of dampness. On each floor arc Iq&aTed com- 
 modious toilet and bath rooms, supplied with hot and cold water, and

 at the end of each of the halls will be found a linen hose and automa- 
 tic reel ready for instant use in case of fire. A watchman will also be 
 on duty in the halls at night. The entire house will be lighted with an 
 excellent cjuality of gas manufacturetl in a i)uilding at some distance 
 from the Inn, and electric bells connect each room with the office. 
 
 ^itC LUISUIC. y 1-,^ cuisine will be in charge of one of the best 
 known stewards in the country, Mr. John Crogan. who was formerly 
 with the .St. Nicholas club of New York City, and is well known to 
 \\ ashingtonians as having laid the finest dinners and banquets given 
 in the National Capital during the past season. It is not the intention 
 of the company to furnish an elaborate table, but no effort will be spared 
 to provide wholesome, palatable and well-cooked food, including an 
 abundance of fresh vegetables and fine milk, cream and butter from 
 the Inn farm and dairy, and the best of meats. The decorated china 
 ware has been made to order at one of the largest American potter- 
 ies, and is in keeping with the general artistic 
 effect which pervades the entire establishment. 
 The kitchen is a model, and is thoroughly 
 equipped with every convenience. 
 
 Amusements. Ample arrangements have 
 been made by the company , ■ 
 
 in the line of amusements. 
 A pretty building, located 
 a short distance from the 
 Inn, contains the billiard 
 room and bowling alleys, 
 which will be open at all 
 times to the ladies. Near 
 by are two large and finely 
 prepared lawn tennis courts, 
 and near them the croquet '-x 
 and archery grounds. An 
 
 excellent quarter-mile bicycle track in a neighboring meadow is to be 
 laid out. On Saturday evenings, and at such other times as it 
 may be desirable, the dining room will be cleared for dancing, and 
 good music will be provided. It is the aim of the company to make 
 these informal .Saturday night hops the social feature of the Wash- 
 ington summer season. Impromptu entertainments will also be given 
 at frequent intervals, and the guests will be cordialh' invited to co- 
 operate with the Manager in making tliem successful and enjoyable.

 yy^E use all possible means to effect sales of property, and our office sends for record as large a number of convey- 
 xXJ ances as any other firm in Washington. We deal only with property in the District of Columbia, and have no 
 special line of real estate. We handle all that comes to us, desirable or undesirable, high priced or low priced. The A'^a/ 
 Estate Revieiv is published on the first of each month, and all property placed in our hands is advertised in its columns 
 without charge to our clients. The newpapers of the city- are also liberally patronized, yet our greatest advantage is in 
 having, in a central location, the finest building ever erected for a real estate office in this or any other city. 
 
 THE Land Records of this District show that during the last ten years this office has made a much larger number of 
 loans than any other house in the city. We are always ready to make first-class loans in the District, either of large or 
 small sums, where the security is undoubted. Attention prompt, no delay, charges moderate. To Capitalists and Cor- 
 porations, desiring to make investments in real estate or real estate securities, we offer our services and experience, which 
 extends to the character and value of property, as well as to the proper form and execution of title papers, mortgages, etc. 
 We attend to the placing of LOANS ON FIRST MORTGAGES, as the best obtainable rates of interest. The borrower pays 
 all commission and expenses; when so requested, we attend to the collection of semi-annual interest and all things ne- 
 cessary to be done during the continuance of the loan. We give our personal attention to this department, and in making 
 investments, we guarantee the excercise of every possible precaution to secure their absolute safety. 
 
 THE business of renting property has grown so large that it can only be successfully transacted when well systematized. 
 We claim to be thoroughly equipped and organized, as we have long made a special feature of the collection of rents, 
 and the general management of city property belonging to non-residents, and others who find it desirable to have the 
 assistance of an agent in such matters. We believe property holders, as a rule, will find it to their advantage to have their 
 rents collected by an agent, who, in addition to making such collections promptly, will exercise a general supervision over 
 both property and tenant, attend to such repairs as may, from time to time become necessary, pay the insurances and 
 taxes as they fall due, and in case of vacancy, obtain desirable tenants as speedily as possible. 
 
 Our facilities for securing good tenants promptly, enable us generally to keep our property occupied, thus saving 
 the frequent loss from vacancies. Property placed with us for rent is advertised free in our WEEKLY RENT BULLETIN. 
 which is published every Monday morning, and circulated both by mail and over our counter. li contains a complete list 
 of all the property we have to rent, together wnth descriptions and prices, and is found valuable in calling the attention of 
 parties to houses for rem. 
 
 THIS branch of our business has grown very large during the last few years, and gives us unusual facilities for obtaining 
 the lowest possible prices on all materials used in building. Parties desiring to build can save money by giving 
 u> a call before so doing.
