RESIDENTIAL PARKS 



183 



MARLS PARK, ASHEVILLE, N. C. 



It may seem at first sight easy, but there are really 

 a great many points to be adjusted to the aesthetic and 

 practical needs of residents before the arrangements of 

 a residential park, for that is what a building-lot scheme 

 should be, can be considered completely successful. 



Its treatment need not be surprisingly original, or fan- 

 ciful, or picturesque, but there should be such sane con- 

 sideration of all aspects, practical and aesthetic, of the 

 possibilities of the case, as will secure that sort of per- 

 fect relation of all its parts which will give it a digni- 

 fied and sensible beauty that, if it does not surprise at 

 first, will charm after all, and will last.
