CHANGED
|NTOAN OFFICE
BUILDING
Former Apartment House Is
Equipped With All Service
For Professional Men.

Service features heretofore found
only in the office buildings of
Greater New YorA are promised by
Edmund J. Flynn, agent for, the
new Lenox building on L street,
near Connecticut avenue. The
Lenox, formerly q modern apart
ment hotel, has recently been con-
verted to the uses Of a high grade
professional office structure, with
many changes Of design and con-
gtruction in accord with it's new
status.
Among the many features pos
.essed by the Lenox building are
all.day and all-night Waterman
service, awnings and screens to al;
windows, and general atmosphere
of placidity and quietude, free from
the hustle that Is usually charac-
teristic Of the ordinary office build
ing. With an eye to securing only
the highest type of tenants-in the
greater number those engaged in
professional activities-these ar.
rangements have been made to at.
tract and hold just such types.
The screening of all windows is in
itself a stride forward in office
building management. Many tenants
who desire to work at night and
yet who must either bear the in.
tense heat of summer or else suffer
an influx Of insects toward the light
II the windows are raised will ap-
preciate this one point especially.
Incidentally, all tenants using Of
fices in the evening are required to
register regardless of their acquaint.
ance with the operatives Of the
building.
Many tenants, II was stated by
Mr.. Flynn, have already been at
tracted by the many advantages
held forth by the new Lenox office
building into signing Tong-term
leases.

construction will resist the passage
of flame for one hour, thus giving
the occupant a chance to fight the
flames before they have gained head
way.
Chimneys are one Of the most pro-
life sources of fire and should be
rendered fire-safe either by the use
Of tile flue Innings or Of specially
made concrete blocks.
Should Protect Roof.
The roof is another fire hazard
that we cannot afford to neglect. The
only safe protection against flying
brands in conflagrations or chimney
fires is the use of a fire-resisting
roof. Most satisfactory is the con-
crete roofing tile which is now be-
ing produced at a price very little
asphalted roofing. Their appearance
is very pleasing, and they are very
permanent. States, tiles and ashes
tos cement shingles are widely used
where their extra cost is not a pro-
hibitive factor.
The caves of a roof should be pro-
tected with metal lath and cement
plaster. Flames on adjoining build
ings usually attack the caves first
as the hot gases drive the flames
upward until they reach projecting
surfaces like the caves. Metal lath
and cement plaster may be carried
from the wall succeed surface
across to the edge Of the caves. thus
affording complete protection.
