DESIGN FOR THE NEW CHICAGO PosToFFICE
designs as exhibited by water color per
spective and outline of floor plans have
met with hearty commentator from al
| sources
Mr.. Cobb had to meet and overcome
several difficulties in the outset-difi
culties which architects seldom have tt
contend with. In the first place, there
was restriction which obliged him tc
cover the entire lot upon which the old
postofice stood. This meant>a building
361 feet by 321 feet.
In the second place, this government
plot was located in the heart of what
will inevitably be group of the tallest
skyscrapers in Chicago. The advance
guard Of this group-the Monadnock-
had already dwarfed the old federal
building into insignifcance, and other
equally tall buildings were planned and
will soon be erected. To prevent the
new structure from sharing like fate
was the problem that Mr.. Cobb found
before him. To erect 30 or 80 story
building which should cover the i'm.
mense lot was manifestly out of the
question. Yet the land had to be COW
cred. The architects solution seems
wonderfully simple now that it is COM
pleted.. His design is for a two story
building which shall extend to the side
walk bounds, supporting as a base a
cross shaped structure rising six stories
higher, with tower located in the axis
of the arms and rising to a height which
it is doubtful if any office building will
exceed.
There are several features about this
design which make it appropriate. The
general appearance of such a building
would be one of lofty pyramid. The
two story structure would fulfill the
government requirement concerning the
covering of the lot and would give
ample floor space for the postofice work
proper as well as providing natural
light both from windows on the street
and by means Of skylights. The first
floors of Office buildings are generally
dark, gloomy and undesirable. -Four
aIO w IcluONS lcdbuE6
from the new federal building.
OF course the four wings of the build
ing will be admirably lighted, for their
walls will be pierced by numerous big
windows, which, instead of facing on a
narrow street, will look out on an air
space fully 100 feet wider than an Or
binary street. The central portion of
the building, 100 feet square, will be
lighted by big skylight in the fiat top
Of the central tower.
The two story structure will be AZ
feet high, the pediments 1873 feet high,
and the row of bronze eagles around the
top of the tower will look out over the
city at an elevation of 270 feet above
the sidewalk. In looking at the build
ing the eye will first take in the mag
nifcent proportions of the base, stretch
ing from block to block; then it will
rest on the four pediments, follow them
to a common center and watch them
develop into the octagon tower, which
in turn will be capped by golden

"Sawdust in an ice-house is self ig-

avoid fire from the above cause the
sawdust should not be allowed to pile

The surplus should be removed and
