TALL BUILDINGS are no buiidings
In New York more than sixteen stories high;
some of the sugar refneries in Williams.
burgh might reach over fifteen, counting
cellars, but no other buildings there go even so
high es that. The Potter building is eleven
stories above the pavement, and the Tribune
building would probably be called ten. Both
have Easements and cellars, which might be
used to stretch the number of stories to four.
teen. These are about the highest down
town, but the new Times building will be
thirteen above the pavement, it is under
stood, or sixteen in all.
The highest apartment house in New
York, and undoubtedly in the world. is the
Osborne, in Fifty seventh street. 1t rises
1S5 feet above the sidewalk, and has eleven
stories in front and fourteen in the rear, be.
sides basement. The Dalhousie, in Fifty
ninth street, has nine stories in front and
thirteen in the rear, above the sidewalk.
The Navarro, the Dakota, the Chelsea and
other famous tall fats have from nine to
twelve stories. As to buildings for dwell.
ings, the law at present limits the height to
seventy feet.
