The residential sites in Roland Park range 
from fifty feet front to one acre in extent; 
but, as has been explained, the average is 
seventy-five feet front. The houses are, 
almost without exception, of frame construc¬ 
tion, and the average cost is $5,500, although 
there are in the park a number of dwellings 
which represent investments ranging from 
$18,000 to $25,000. Few of the houses

the park which are heated by steam. The 
houses have, without exception, cemented

than a suggestion of formal gardening. 
Terraces and effective retaining-walls have 
also been employed to a limited degree. 
In the matter of modern municipal utili¬
