Planning a building so that every Of
flee will have outside light and air Is
a problem that has perplexed many
architects.
The avarice of owners to utilize every
inch OF site has prevented many archi-
tects from producing good buildings

fact has helped them by securing adj
ditional property In order to carry out
their plan for making his new building
an exceptional one in a section which
Is destined to be one of all office struc-
lures.
The work OF clearing the ground is
now under way. and Mr.. Heckscher
proposes to have the building ready for
occupancy by next May. Mr.. Heckscher
assembled the site during the last two
years. Part Is fee and part leasehold.
He gave his architects. Jardine. Hill q

hold will be improved with a five story
building taking IN the entire frontage,
but reaching back In such a way as to
leave open light OF all four sides above
the first floor. In this way each floor
will have open Hight on four sides, while
the setback on Forty-second street will
afford the equivalent OF a street 1875 feet
wide. and the stores and mez2anine floor
will have front and skylight easements.
The design OF the main building Is
