TO
RISE 1000
FEET HIGH
Prominent Architect Says He
Has Plans for Such Struc-
ture Possible limit.

American architects, engineers
and builders have lately been dis
cussing, with considerable interest,
the question OF how far our office
Buildings will eventually penetrate
the skies.
The consensus of opinion seems
to be that from an engineering
standpoint there is no limit to the
possible height Of these structures.
One prominent American architect
made the statement that, given q
base Of sufficient proportions, he
would not hesitate to undertake the
erection Of building 1000 feet
high. It is not at all likely, how
ever. that such a structure will be
erected because, builders say, the
question OF service, human safety
and finance enter 80 prominently
likelihood Of ever attaining such
fantastic heights.
OhicagO's Restriction.
Chicago which, for some time,
has limited the height OF it's build
ing to 400 feet, has repudiated this
restriction and the corporation coun-
sci few days ago issued ruling
permitting the erection Of the new
s. W. Straus & Co. building, AS
feet high. This was the first per-
NIT issued on the unrestricted rub
ing in Chicago where 1t is believed
the general type Of office building
will now be higher than formerly.
The late nineteenth century wit
messed the advent OF the slxyscraper,
and from year to year the number
of towering structures in Ameri.
can cities has been growing stead.
lily At the present time several
new buildings, which will become
landmarks in the various cities In
which they are being put up, are
in various stages Of construction.

In New York, the taliest building
in the world used for human habi-

Chicago the new thirty-two-story

Americas great office buildings

Sale Of Little Round
Top Remains
A Mystery

Much speculation exists in
local real estate circles regard
ing the future development of
Little Round Top, a section of
eighteen acres Of land in the
vicinity Of Arlington Cemetery
in Virginia. Persistent rnnlors
have been in circulation that
New York interests have
secured an option on this land.
but up to the present no an
nouncement has been made re-
garding the owners or to
what purpose the section is to
be devoted.
Little Round Top lies just
off the Military road, about.
one mile from the south enl of
the Highway Bridge, and
about one block from the
tracks Of the Washington and
Virginia Railroad Company. IL
is the only, remaining unde-
eloped land in this vicinity
and affords q magnificent
view Of the Potomac river and
Washington. Owing to its
convenient location TO Wash
ington it has long been re-
garded as an ideal site for d
subdivision.
With this purpose in view
several attempts have been
nade to acquire the land by
local realtors recently. These
feelers have met with the in
formation that the section has
been secured by unknown
parties.

It's slender spire, will reach q height
of 556 feet. The Chicago Tribune
tower building, one OF the most dis.
tinctively architectural structures
IN the country, win be, with ita
tower, 400 feet high.
IN contrast to the tower type Of
building, the Straus building Will
be q building with tower, In
which the tower accentuates rather
than detracts from the mass Of the
building.
The remarkable progress which
has been made since the erection Of
the Tacoma building IN Chicago,
pioneer OF American steel slxyscrap,
ers, has given rise to the question
OF building heights. 1T may be noted
in this connection thai the progress
made In commercial building Con-
istructioTi has been greater since the
building OF the Tacoma building in
1889, than ineaIl previous history.
