The EdiSOa Concrete Rouse.
(AmericEn Industries.)


Few inventions could have such
widespread effect at once upon do
mestic architecture, the building
trade, and the housing conditions of
working people as the devising of
new, quick and inexpensive method
Of constructing dwellings suitable
for the housing of those who cannot
pay high rents.
This, however, is just what Mr..
Edison proposes in his plan for es-
tablishing the new industry Of
manufacturing inexpensive houses
out of concrete, poured in one piece
by the use Of enormous moulds. The
idea if carried to commercial success.
is certain to prove the most revolu-
tionary innovation in building con-
struction since the introduction Of
the steel-frame Office building. 1t
will be step forward in the utiliza-
ton of the methods of cement con-
struction which goes far beyond any,
thing yet attempted. The use of
concrete in house-buiiding is already
established successfully in this coun-
try and abroad, but nothing like the
proposed plan of pouring dwelling
houses in moulds, as one would pour
flooring or a pier, has been even
suggested before.
Nevertheless Mr.. Edison is conf
dent and enthusiastic over the sue
cessful development of his plans,
which he believes will, in effect, re-
duce to a minimum the two prime
clements in building construction,
those Of time and cost.
The novel feature of the project
developed by Mr. Edison consists in
the use of moulds as a means of
holding the concrete structure in
form during the driving process.
The moulds are to be composed of
cast iron plates. The details Of their
dimensions are undetermined but it
is expected that the plates will vary
in thickness from three-fourths inch
to seven-eighths inch. Ii is the in
ventor's expectation that it will be
found possible to construct two
housas mG. Month with enc set OF
moulds and to secure variety of de-
sign it is proposed to have six sets
Of the forms made, at an estimated
aggregate cost of about $105, 900.
The size OF the building which Mr..
Edison proposes to erect on these
terms is twenty-one feet by forty
nine feet, with a height Of thirty
five feet, not including the cellar.
The walls are TO be twelve inches
thick, decreasing to eight inches on
the second story. The roof will be
six inches in thickness and the floors
and partitions uniformly four inches
through.
