not carry any weight, it being the same general
idea as that used in skeleton steel construction,
except in that case the curtain wall is put on
the outside of the columns and girders; but this
material, having the advantage Of protecting its
own steel, does not require wall on the outside
for this purpose, and it will be in the picture
that the wall sets back from the face Of the
columns and Orders.
All windows are Of metal and wire glass.
There will be absolutely wood used in the
construction.

There is also on the south side in the building
a space devoted to railroad track SO that four

directly on the floor
The entire building is fre-proof throughout

10000 square feet in the two stories. The first
story is 8feet clear pitch to the floor above and
the second >story is feet average height. The
building hassbeen designed especially to meet the
needs of the Gordon Metal Company's business,
the great pitch of the stories being such that bars

He has been assisted in the preparation Of the
drawings for this speciality by MR. S., B. VIII.
HANSON Of Baltimore, and in the erection Of
the building by MR.. A. COLE BLANTON, as
deputy superintendent The building is also a
monument to the industry and enterprise OF the
Gordon Metal Company. This form of building
has been proven to be fire-proof. The reduced
rate of insurance and increase in its value to
resist and tear, make it the coming material
and this is the first building in Richmond to be
built entirely of this material.
The Gordon Metal Company are agents for
"Gant" Portland Cement and Twisted Steel Bars,

templating using these materials in connection
with reinforced concrete construction.
