We Go Modern - The Pyramid ihiitahLiihiiiiunhWligiaSSi aimiillil'llPllliBillB THE PYQAtiD By Dwnonnhuntcr Architect, New York- We are all "Moderns" some more some less but all are Mod erns a rather broad statement but. one which requires more than normal courage to deny for if we are not Moderns what are we Antiques? Hardly. We love our motor cars, our heated houses, our hot baths' and our iced drinks, our short working hours, our pleasant working conditions, our golf, our-radios a.nd other diver sions -with-regularity, and while we may pot be said to love our washing machine, sewing machine or other mechanical labor saving devices, we certainly do if we but stop to -think owe much of our pleasure to their use. Why then "do we love antiques or don't we perhaps we like to jolly ourselves a bit. We do not live in au antique atmosphere. that's certain. We live modern and demand the comforts and conveniences that .were beyond Solomon's fondest dreams. We live and move in a spirit of pro gress. Even grandma bobs her hair and attends the dances along with the flapper and 'Antique" is the Jesting byword of the street yes, and at the club or in the ball rooms. Everywhere it is the same Modern. Yet we cramp ourselves into antique houses that is the good ones are supposed to look antique to imitate some ancient style or other and why? Do we eat "an tique?" drink travel dress talk or even think antique? Then why live in houses of antique design. Antique houses the real thing no heat, no plumbing, no refrigeration, no gas, no electri city, cold in winter, hot in sim mer, n'A one, not even the most confirmed antiquarian would con sider as a habitable abode as it. Of course if we 'estroy the' an- tique by making it livable we could make it comfortable after a fashion and retain some of the old flavor in the foibles, perhaps a cornice or a mantel or such (or namental?) thinf, but doors and windows cannot be made weather tight without modernizing them and the- whole house becomes more or less modern". So why hold on" to some "old-details? Why old architectural themes that do not key in with the times? The mod ern motor car is not architectural yet for sheer beauty it goer be yond mucb that is classified as "architecture." But wait we spoke out of turn the hearse is in some instance architectural with the columns, cornices and other . architectural embellish ments which may or may not be a case of fitness to purpose the old architectural styles for the dead. , j The pyramid is a Modern house, for Modern living aj)d provides Cellar (Fall afa of body of house) Laundry, Heater an gen eral sr4ce.
