gether with other stockholders in
a corporation formed especially
for the purpose, are presently
seeing finishing touches put on
the new facilities. Consisting of
eight luxury type units, the new
building should be ready for oc
cupancy before the end of the
month.
It was designed by Thomas T.,
"Hayes, local architectural firm>
and employs several new meth
ods of construction and famish--
ing. Wood and concrete exteriors
were designed to blend with the
wooded landscape. Terraces on
each unit overlook Mid Pines
lake. Inside, the units have wal
nut panelling and exposed
beams. One whole side of the
structure is of glass. Each unit
has a combination bedroom-living
room, dressing room, closets and
bath.
Separate facilities are being
built to house the heating equip
ment and provide storage. The
caretaker will also live in the
separate unit in an apartment
provided.
An addition to the Southern
Pines high school building is also
under way and will provide for
enlarged quarters for a band-
room, showers, and other needed
space.
' Bids for the cafeteria at West
Southern Pines school have also
been advertised for and will be
opened shortly.
Not in Southern Pines, but
still part of the “boomlet,” is a
house being constructed on Mid
land Road for Mr. and Mrs.
Franklin Safford, nationally ^
known in trotting horse circles.
The home was designed by
Mrs. Safford and is, she says, “a
dream house we’ve always want
ed.”
Concrete blocks, more than 20,-
000 of them, have already been
laid and form, for the most part,
the outside shell and serveral
room partitions. The, house, with
a floor space of more than 8,000
square feet, has four bedrooms,
each with bath, a large foyer, liv
ing room, den, utility room,
kitchen, servants quarters, and
other features.
Typhoon heat pumps wiU be
used for both heat and air condi
tioning. The pumps, a rarity in
this area, use well water, which
is about 66 degrees, and separate
the heat from the water to make
a comfortable inside temperature
in the summer months. In win
ter, the system works in reverse
end separates the coldness from
the water.
There has, as most anyone
would know who takes a Simday
drive, been a terrific amount of
building and developing out
Young’s Road by the “horse peo
ple.” The Pilot will have a story
on that next week.
