Gotta, in the form of hollow blocks, Is
the basic material. 1t is used for walls,
floors and partitions.
The novel system of construction Is
largely due to the rise In the price OF
lumber in recent yesrs. The cost OF
frame dwellings has approached 80 close
~ the cost of mssonry dwellings. that
The saving In maintenance and Insurance
% the 6reproof structures more than
makes up for The difference In original
cost. This economic consideration is
he element that has caused 80 many
homes of sturdy, permanent construction
to spriUg up In the last two or taree
years.
Uotil recently terra Gotta blocks were
used almost exclusively fer 6reprOo6og
business buildings. Plans for the frat
terra Gotta dwelling in New York city
we're filed With the building department
only last year.
The new colony in Orange calls for by
fer The largest order Of hollow terra
Gotta blocks ever used in residence con-
sruclion. SIX Thousand tons OF the
burnt clay material are being shipped
from the Perth Amooy factories of the
National Fireproo6Og Company. 10
terms Of measurement, this means $780,
900 square feet.
10 the walls and and partitions the
blocks sre laid end on cod, so that the
hollow spaces form continuous chambers
from top TO bottom. These "dead air"
spaces, as they az called, make the
walls conductors OF heat, the result
being a cooler house In summer and
warmer one 10 winter. 10 the floors the
blocks are laid 10 rows between masonry
beanie, and any kind Of surface flooring
that individual taste calls for may be
plsctd on top of them.
