Dr. Harr Hao Constructive Pastime
Botanist Builds His Castle
Veterans, please note! Dr. Worthie Horr of the botany department may have a solution to the housing problem.
Dr. Horr is a man who thinks a man's home is his castle. Acting on that theory, he built his little stone castle on the corner of 10th and Maine streets.
Dr. Horr makes no claims to being an architect but during the summer of 1925 he decided a lot of stone from local quarries was going to waste He got some stone, and with a few $ ^{ \textcircled{8}} $ ___ belights, better building a house.
No Foundation
It turned out as an attractive stone square building, and Dr. Horr made it so that it will always stand just where he built it. It has no foundation, but the walls extend from the bottom to the basement walls. I'll be a strong wind that blows the Horr house down!
The whole thing is of flag construction, meaning that Dr. Horr made a frame and then faced the stones in it the way he wanted them to look on the walls of the house. Then cement was poured in behind the stones. When the cement dried the frames were removed and there stood the walls. All that was needed then was the filling in of the cracks around the rock faces with cement.
Dr. Horr, like any creator, never admits the whole thing is finished, but says, "I still have a little 'pointing up' to do around."
Has Added To Original
In fact, his 'pointing up' got rather out of control in 1934. Dr. and Mrs. Horr decided that maybe the house was a bit pint-sized, so Dr. Horr began adding to it. The addition turned out to be two more rooms downstairs, and three bedrooms and a bath upstairs.
Besides the actual construction, Dr. Horr also helped with the plastering, although he hates to plaster
because "it's really too much work." He finished the woodwork too.
The walls of the house are over a foot thick, and the windows are wide. The walls are stone walls keep the house warm in winter and cool in summer, Dr. Herr said.
Dr. Horr doesn't want a lot of people flocking down to his home with house-building contracts for him to sign. He may build his own house, but he says he's still a botanist at heart!
RN Club Performs Operation In Skit
A humorous skit in silhouettes of an abdominal operation was part of the entertainment presented by members of the Registered Nurses club last night in the Pine room to their guests, the Pre-nursing club.
Those who took part in the skit were Joan Bradley, Viola Toffl, Ursula Bucholtz, Kathleen Bird, Marcella Toeves, and Helen Maclean. The group played charades and refreshments were served. Marcella Toeves was in charge of the program.
