ILLUSTRATION: PHOTO:  DON PETERSEN THE ROANOKE TIMES. STYROFOAM FORMS are in 
          place and ready for concrete to be poured, creating Roanoke's first 
          totally concrete house. The two-story house, built by the Roanoke 
          Regional Home Builders Association, was on display for builders and 
          architects in the Brookfield subdivision Monday. Concrete 
          construction has been used for homes in Canada and Europe for about 
          50 years, but is just catching on in the United States. The 
          all-concrete structures are an economical alternative to wood. Story
