w here he will erect a novel residence—a
palace, in fact—upon which »1,500,000
will be expended aside from the fini-h-
ing. This is to be a structure built al
most entirely of steel and glass.
The building is to be about 230 long
by about 100 feet wide. At one end it
will be surmounted by a tower 115 feet
high; at the other end by a similar tow
er, but of less size and height.
A striking feature will be the sides be
low the cornice, which slope to the
ground with a curve at an angle of about
45 degrees. In the sloping sides are to be
set huge oval windows 12 feet long and
made to conform to the lines of the sides
of the wall. The roof will be a huge
gable extending the entire length of the
building and terminating in another
gable at right angle«, in which are
placed immense stained glass windows,
one of which will lie 50 feet long und 30
feet wide.
Not a foot of lumber or wood in any
shape is to be used in the building. The
materials will be iron, steel, aluminium,
brass, bronze, platinum, Bilver, concrete,
cement and stone. And the only stone
use 1 will be sculptured marble in the
stairways and the main frieze, and onyx
and decorative marble in the bathrooms,
the stairs and a few other places. Then
the foundations will be of steel and con
crete. The floors will be of concrete,
brass and aluminium, the walls of steel,
and the roof of steel, brass an 1 copper.
The inside walls will be some of oxidized
sheet iron, some brass, covered with a
preparation that protects the burnish of
the metal; some copper, some nick-land
