A BUILDING WITHOUT WOOD.
0altf1ore structure OF steel and
Coaerese with Metal Triamings.


Daltf1ore Structure OF steel and
Concrete with Metal Trinmings.
A firm of architects have designed a
building to be erected at Baltimore in
which no wood will be used. says the
Baltimore News. 1t will be six stories
and will have a frontage of forty-one
feet six inches. with a depth of seventy
feet. The entire structure is TO be Of
REINFORCED concrete and steel Even
the doors. trims and door Jambs are &c
be Of metal The windows are also to
be Of metal and will be glazed with

make 1t as fireproof as possible even
the frames for the show windows will
be of steel. into which the plate glass
Will be fitted. The floor of the show
window will be Of concrete. with a
glazed tile floor. The side walls col
umns and rear walls, as well as the

a
will be of concrete, with slate treads
and wrought iron balustrades. The
elevator shaft will be of concrete, as
will also the Enclosure around the stair
way and elevator hail. The cellar and
roof are to be of cement.
In order to eliminate all wood the
two fiagstaffs on top of the structure
will be of steel. One of the interesting
features of this structure is that in an
ordinary building Of this height the
walls are about twenty-one inches
thick. but by the use of the REINFORCED
concrete six inches Will give sufficient
strength. This will give forty feet
clear breadth on the inside Of the
building.
The building will be of the original
modern French designs. 1t will have
an Indiana limestone base, which will
extend to the first story. There will
be stone bands at the intersection of
each story, and the trimmings will be
Of Indiana limestone. The side pilasters
will be of gray brick. with brown brick
worked in geometrical patterns. In the
center will be a long metal bay of
structural steel covered with heavy
copper. At each floor level will be
heavy wrought iron grills, while the
window frames on the front will be OF

Verde antique finish. The cornice will
have a projection of six feet. which
will give the structure an imposing ap
pearance. This cornice will be of orna-
mental wrought iron, with ornaments
