The skyscraper il no modern invention, :"

history OF his profession. In oil the ancient
cities where brick or stone was available
high houses, within the walls Of the city
were very numerous because Of the lack Of
ground space for building.
in the days Of Augustus the tenement
houses In Rome became 40 high as to be
dan ngeTous and laws were passed condemning
number OF tenement rows and ordering them
10 be taken down, while at the same time
law was enacted limiting the height OF all
future tenementsto 100 feet For palaces and
public buildings there was no limit
AFTER the burning OF the city in Neros
time the streets, which before were no wider
than our alleys. were made broader some Of
them. through the business part OF the city,
were forty feet vide. and some OF the great
thoroughfares we're sixty.
-The tenement height was lowered TO eighty
feet aud as a consequence the city spread
far beyond its walls The average height
OF ceiling in q Roman tenement was little
over five feet; the windows were open holes
