In the basement are boiler room, a room for a motor that runs the, ele- vators, a laundry and big space for carriages, besides room for storage of coal and everything else not provided for above.
 The owner has lavished money to obtain one particular result-absolute safety from fire The walls of the house have not piece of wood in them they are made of hollow terra cotta blocks Altogether there are 57, ,OO0 square feet of these walls that Is, more than 800 tons.
 On the outside there is an eight-inch thickness of the hollow blocks, then comes the confined air space of four inches, and then the inside thickness of four inches of terra cotta. Thus, in effect, there are two walls four inches apart, constructed of material through which moisture cannot be absorbed.
 It is said that if all the windows and doors were closed on a hot sum- mer day, air being introduced only through the basement, the tempera- ture would be from fifteen to twenty degrees lower inside the house than without
 On the outside the terra cotta walls are to be covered with stucco and on the insoide with plaster. The floors and al other parts of the house are to be equally indestructible by fire. MT Rockefeller hopes to 'moye-in' late in the summer or early in the fall.
