Sponsors Second All-\(/ood Home
A second all-wood home, sponsored by the Jones Hardwood Company of San Francisco, was recently opened for inspection at 2930 Hillside Drive, Burlingame, Calif. The new home adjoins the one completed last year by the same firm, which was publicized, in more than 20 magazines all over the country, and is now occupied by Nelson E. Jones, president of Jones Hardwood Company.
Mr. Jones states that the house was not built for the market, but to actually demonstrate the beauty and practicability of all-wood construction.
"With this type of building the complete insulation reduces considerably the amount of heat necessary in the winter months. The beauty possible through artistically designed walls, ceilings and floors can hardly be duplicatecl in any other material. These are but two of the many ad-. vantages possible," he said.
The architecture is the work of Donnell & Jaeckle, 126 Post Street, San Francisco, recognized as one of the most outstanding designers of this type of home in the country. The general contractor was Martin Peterson of Burlingame.
The frame construction is of all No. 1 Douglas Fir, with Redwood sills, Joists are of kiln-dried lumber. All lower floor lumber was treated with protective coating against insect attack.
All doors and mouldings are Philippine Mahogany. Doors are of flush or slab type Mahogany throughout.
Kitchen cabinets are the product of the Peerless Builtin-Fixture Company, Berkeley.
