The Florists* Review 



April 1, 1920 



MSmIu- 



You, of course, remember how, when Joe Hill built his first 

 Lord & Burnham house in 1916, it created a good bit of talk. 



It happened that a lot of you knew that some fifteen years 



before, E. G. Hill, his father, had built a Lord & Burnham 



house. 



But when the Joe Hill Company was started, they didn't start 



with "L. and B." houses. 



So when that double-page spread came out, telling about three 

 of our houses which followed, you pricked up your ears. 

 Have just looked back over that Ad, and the thing which to 

 our notion is most impressive, is what Joe Hill says himself. 



You may recall he said that "always he had kind of thought 

 that eventually he would build Lord & Burnham houses. It 

 was an ambition he had held for years, to own one of their 

 top-notch houses." 



When it came to building his new house he decided to make 



it nineteen feet and a half wider than our first big one, which 

 makes it 79 feet 5 inches. 



Although over 19 feet wider than the other, both have but two 

 columns. 



The extra roof strain is taken care of by the necessary in- 

 creases in framing members and the use of a two-strut truss 

 running from the column to the eave. 



All trussing members are double bolted. 



The gusset plates binding together the post and rafters, are 



double. 



The eave is eauipped with a galvanized U-Bar drip gutter. 



The sash sill is galvanized angle iron. 



The 4-inch concrete curtain wall is capped by a 5-inch cast 



iron sill. 



The columns are galvanized inside and out. 



Mr. Hill tells us he will plant the house to about 16,000 Rose 

 Premier.
