NAVIGATOR'S LETTER HOME.

Captain F. W.

COLOURED CONCRETE.

TO BE USED FOR NEW HOUSES ON LCO ESTATES.

Mr. G. Topham Forrest, the architect to the London County Council, speaking" recently at the Council's School of Build- ing, asid that the Council has decided to build concrete houses in a variety of pleasing colours, similar to those of brick and natural stone, on their estates.

In the past, he said, objection had been raised to concrete houses on the ground that there was something very monotonous in a long series of dingy grey concrete houses, but it was now possible to

obtain Portland cement manufactured in various colours; and, in his opinion, it was practicable to introduce variety. into the appearance of the roughest. houses by using these cements,

White Portland cement was also pro curable, and, by the intermixture of houses Laced with white, buff, brown, and red & quite agrecable effect could be obtained,
