NEW DEVELOPMENT
IN CITY IS MODEL
RESIDENTIAL AREA
Ten New Homes Being Built By J. Win
field Crew, Jr., Lost Word In
Modernity
i_
The new J. Winfied Crew, Jr.,
development in Chaloner Park is
rapidly shaping up into one of the
most model FHA developments in
the entire South. Ten new five
room homes, which are being bnilt
along the north and south sides of
Sunset Avenue, will be ready for
occupancy about the first of Octo
ber. The latest in interior and ex
terior plans makes the essence of
convenience and comfort at a min
imum cost.
Chaloner Park is the only re
stricted residential area in Halifax
County. Stores, filling stations,
and homes under the $2500 range
will be prohibited in the develop
ment. Each house must be con
structed on a lot at least sixty feet
wide, and the plans must be drawn
by an architect approved by the
FHA.
James M. Edwards, Raleigh ar
chitect, drew the plans for the ten
buildings now under construction.
Fred Forest and Company of Roa
noke Rapids are the contractors
for the construction. C. M. Pitt,
of Roanoke Rapids, is doing the
plumbing, and Harry Roberson, an
other local man, is installing the
electric fixtures. E. C. Ethridge
is the superintendent of construe
tion.
The new homes will have five
rooms, a heating compartment, and
a bath. The interior of each home
will have practically the same
floor plan, but the outside of each
will be different. When finished,
the houses will be painted white.
The roofs, which will be of fire
proof asphalt shingles, will • be of
various colors. Three will be gray
green, three will be blue-black, two
will be agatone, one will be
mosstone, and one terra-cotta red.
Into the construction thus far
have gone 200,000 feet of framing
and storm sheeting, 80,000 bricks,
and 160 squares of shingles.. The
lumber is being furnished by the
Northampton Lumber Co., Inc., at
Gumberry. The houses will be
weatherboarded with 8 inch siding
with mitred corners.
The buildings are being con
structed on lots 60 feet wide and
145 feet deep. All are 30 feet from
Sunset Avenue which they face,
eight on the north and two on the
south.
The homes, which will be for
sale, will be equipped with a heat
ing plant at the option of the
buyer. Present plans call for trees
along the street throughout the
park.
Present plans for the develop
ment of the entire residential park
call for two horseshoe drives and
playgrounds south of the develop
ed area. A Japanese hedge, which
will amount to a strong fence, has
been planted around the park. This
hedge will grow to a height of a
bout six feet and become impen
etrable after a few years’ growth.
