Syllabus

<p>1. The erection on a lot of “an apartment house containing five or six separate and distinct apartments, for five or six separate and distinct tenants or families,” is a breach of a covenant in a conveyance of the lot that it is to “be used for residential purposes only, and only one residence is to be erected on each lot.”</p> <p>2. The facts averred by plea as to acquiescence do not estop the grantor from enforcing a covenant as to the nature of a building to be erected on a lot in a residence section.</p>
