NEW YORK SKYL1INE'S ALTERATION
AFTER TEN YEARS OF SUBSCRIBERS
Forty-one Story Struc-
tureS Planned for
Completion Next
Year.

NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-Evidence of
the remarkable change that skyscrap-
ers have brought about in the appear
ance of New York in ten years is re-
veaied by a skyline photograph just
taken. a picture taken in 1896 shows
the spire OF Trinity Church. perhaps
the most famous landmark in the city,
towering far above all neighboring
buildings
Today this spire is barely noticeable.
So completely is it dwarfed by the tall
structures which surround it, Viewed
from the bay the city now seems an
almost solid mass OF brick and stone,
broken here and there by the steel
framework Of some new building.
Skyscrapers Multiply.
In the Wall street district the great
est group of skyscrapers In the world
is rising-a result Of the Unsuitable de-
.mand for office accommodation in the
lower section Oh the city. The present
tendency of modern business toward
concentration is nowhere else so mark
ed. Skyscraper office buildings have
already been erected upon almost every
available site. and nineteen more.
averaging twenty-three stories each.
viii be added within the next two years
With the high buildings becoming
higher and more numerous all the time.
the lower end Of New York-the tip of
Manhattan's tongue as it is sometimes
called-has become the worlds most i'm
pressive center of commercial activity
Skyscrapers built within the last ten
years are a striking Illustration of the
progress made by American architects
ana engineers Though these buildings
rise hundreds Of feet from the ground
they nave proved TO be absolutely safe
from collapse or fire. This is largely
que 70 the structural work of steel and
me noors and partitions Of hollow tile
brickS-the combination which success
fully withstood the earthquake and four
days of cOnflggratiOn in San Francisco
The steel and hollow tile type of con-
struction has made the modern sky
scrdpcr tbs safest and most enduring
type of building.
Forty-one Stories.
There are now more than 600 first
class. modern buildings. in the lower
section of New York. where the great
shipping. manufacturing. railroad, and
financial interests Of the country have
their headquarters. Until recently The
building boom" was confined TO the
district east of Broadway, the Wall
Street side. Now, however, the demand
ioI oHceS faS compeueu builders 70 use
territory to the west. and the latest
photograph of the skyline shows two
huge skysCrdpers, just finished standing
almost on the banks of the Hudson.
The rapid skyward growth Of New
York has led TO the prediction that
skyline photograph taken a few years
hence will show the tallest building now
standing as completely Gwarfed b. new
er skyscrapers as the spiTe Of Trinity
Church is today Already foundations
are being laid for two office buildings,
TO De completed in 1905 each of which
will be forty-one stories high-thirteen
stories above the highest building erected
up 20 this time.
