THIRTY-TWO STORES.

a Now York Architects Daring Scheme.
There seems to be no limit to the
boldness Of architectural design which
characterizes the era Of lofty construc-
ton upon which the country has en-
tered within the last few years. New
York City, from the necessities Of her
situation and the limited area OF her
business section, has been the leader in
the evolution of lofty buildings, though
other commercial centers are following
closely the example set by that place.
A striking illustration Of what there
is every reason to believe may vet be
accomplished in this direction was
given at the recent exhibition of the
Architectural League in New York
CITY. Bruce Price. a well-knOwn
architect, presented for inspection on
that occasion the plans for structure
AL feet in height, divided into 32
stories and covering lot only 10 feet
square. With the present progress made
in combining steel and masonry there
no difficulty whatever In the way Of
constructing such building as the
one proposed. The foundation must
cover the entire space occupied, and in
New York the bed rock frequently
comes near enough to the surface to
afford this. But when that is not the
case, piling must be used, and upon
thi, a thick bed Of cement concrete
laid. Above this bed iron crib work
would he laid, and u on this the super
structure would be raised. The gen
eral idea may be briefly stated to be a
system of steel columns and girders
supporting the entire floor load Of the
building, and also the weight of the
outside walls above the twentieth floor
The walls themselves will he Of gran
ite, brick, marble, and terra Gotta and
will in no case be called upon to bear
any other strain than their own weight.
BY this scheme the masonry will be
far more massive, and the space occu-
pied will not interfere with the availa-
bic t.oo. room even in the lower stories.
The elevator system will be grouped
in the center of the building around
The Columbus journal., 1891-04-22

an octagonal core or well. There will
he eight elevators, one Of which will
be especially devised and reserved for
the transportation of heavy safes and
other freight. Three will run between
the first and tenth stories. Two will
run to the twentieth story, not stop.
ping between the first and tenth, and
two will run to the top of the building.
only stopping above the twentieth
floor.
The accompanying illustration will
serve to give an idea of the external
appearance of the proposed structure.
While really built of steel and iron. it
will look like massive aggregation of
marble. granite and brick, handsomely
ornamented. No idea is given as to
the cost Of such n structure beyond
the statement that the average ex'
pense per floor would be not more than
a third of the cost of building con-
structed on the ordinary plan, taking
.nio consideration, that is, the rental
value of the enhanced space obtained
for occupation.

tested. That was all l had in stock,
explained the dealer; but these have

the bill. And thereafter, whenever
