THE COURTHOUSE PROJECT
To ths Editor of 3hs Ch'ea4o Tribune:
STu. Thu fna1t ibvr1vef T., f1,;. proia,k h;runo
on tho following points Tho site u square
3s0x320, bordorod by four streets of equal char
acter) our climate and vews OF comfort our
political aud social institutions; a,1d tho dignity
Of our city.
First-Tho site nationally conditions the fronts
Of tho building to be, in ita maiu lines, parallel
with the strcot-liues, whether cornors arc left
square or cut diagonally. Thls is III clear to iii
educated architect as is the necessity OF placing
column in its normal position, baHe below and
capital aboyc.~--an established custom which 10
innoYator can very wel upset. 1t also condi-
tlons perfect equality OF the four fronts.
Second-The American climate and views Of
comfort demand abundance Of air and light to
all rooms aud corridors, besides conyeniout nc
cess to the offices.
1'hird-Our institutions call loudly for spa-
cious court in which mass meetings can be held.
Fo,trM-Tho dignity Of our city demands
noble structure, with lofty domo surmounting
it's centro.
To this in added, as matter Of course,
the aforementioned and et-so-little-nnderstoo
point Of economy. Economy signifies that the
means must be in proportion with aud adapted
to the end it is equivalent to prudence. To
doViAo those means in tho whole and in
artisan Ia tho task Of the export architect,
upon whose sagncity and skill the s,1ccess (ocou
omY) depends, particularly 80 in . case whoAo
constructions throughout reach boyoud tho
knowledge of even tlio better class OF our mo
chanics. A too much Of means is simply
sheer waste; 'too little il many a timo
worse than nero waste.
A rational application Of tho points as stated
would result IN the following general plan for
ot,r TThl166.
