Text Summary via OCR:

builder: Irwin Jalonack co-realtor: Howard Kreitsek architect: Herman H. York land planner: Leo Novick location: Ulster & Saugerties Townships, N. Y.

Handsome is as handsome does

Stretching out along the Hudson River near Kingston, N.Y., Jalonack's Whittier project surrounds the green links of IBM's big new golf course, sprinkles churches, schools, shopping and community centers liberally through its 1,500 acres. Even a fire house and library are planned.

No forest of telephone poles or TV antennas will mar the project. Electrical, telephone and sewage lines will run in trenches along the rear property line. Water mains and TV aerials will go in along the front and one central TV antenna can serve the whole project. (For more about this, see page 160.)

The development will eventually hold 4,000 houses set on lots ranging from 65' x 100' to 110' x 125'.

The project follows the lay of the land

Streets will curve along the contours of the site. (Yellow lines are existing roads.) Builder Jalonack plans to keep through streets to a minimum, will save all trees except where it is necessary to put in a road or a house slab.

Jalonack will sell reserved land parcels to the community at cost for schools and churches, intends to donate the fire house and library later. This fall ground will be broken for a $10,000,000 shopping center, the first of two. It is likely to draw people from as far as 20 miles away.

In a growing industrial area, as this one is, the builders could have rushed in and put down houses helter-skelter. The fact that they didn't is made evident by this plan.
