15.11.2011Www.buildabear.co.ukThe form of comparison herein presented has never, to my knowledge, been heretofore made, and the results are as surprising as they are important and interesting. The estimates of cost have been made by several competent contractors on scale drawings and accurate specifications, are easily verified and hence may be accepted as reliable. Figure 1 is one of the plans of our apartment-house which is to be built on the Back Bay, Boston. Figure 2 shows www.buildabear.co.uk the floor-plans of an independent house which might be built on the same land. Both figures are drawn to the same scale for convenience in comparing the dimensions. The independent-house (which I shall, in contradistinction to the "flat," designate as the "tower" to mark its prominent point of difference from the "flat" in form) contains a kitchen, pantry, furnace-room, fuel-cellar, laundry, dining-room, china-closet, parlor, eight bed-chambers provided with suitable closets, two bath-rooms, a trunk-room, a front staircase extending from the first floor to the attic, and a back staircase extending from the basement to the third floor. What will these accommodations cost in this form and what in the form of a "flat" in an apartment-house? The apartment-house contains a public kitchen, steam-heating, ventilating and electric-lighting isolated plants, fuel-cellar, laundry, cafй, billiard-room, gentlemen's smoking-room, ladies' parlor, small public dining-rooms, and eighty suites, averaging five rooms, a bath-room and closets in each, www.buildabear.co.uk and with a trunk or storage-room in the basement for each suite; four elevators and four fireproof staircases of iron and marble enclosed in brick walls from basement to roof.Home repair shows on tv Victorian terrace renovation Renovation store All home repair |
