improvements in its object being %0 this end my invention consists in the features of construction, combination and arran ement of parts hereinafter particularly t iescribed and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings forming partof this specification, Figure 1 is a perspective View of a building GIHbOdYllig my features of invention broken away; 1g 2 is a top View of a portion. of a wall shown partlye'in cross section; and Fig. 3 is a perspective view of one corner of the roof.

In the accompanying drawings A representsawall section. Each section or plate has its side edges curled, the opposite edges being curled op ositely, and the meetin edges ates being interlocked y carrying the curl of one plate around the curl of the next. Rods 2 are passed through the openin 5 formed by said curls and suitably secure as by nuts 3 at their lower ends to a sill 5. The eave beam 4 carries a downwardly extended flange 6 formed preferably with a channel 7 in its lower end to receive roof plates 8. The eave beams are carried upwardly at the ends of the building and suitably connected with, the ridge member, the channel 7 thus extending entirely around the building. The 11 per ends of the roof plates extend into the channel 9 of a ridge member 10. Theeave beams upon opposite sides of the building are connected by rods 11. The

roof sections or plates are constructed and joined together in a manner corresponding 7 to the wall sections A. As will beevident the portion of the ridge member constituting the top wall of the upper ends of the roof plates constituting the cave beam is c annel 9 will cover the forming an intermediate 1 hannel into which the upper ends of the we llsections reject, the lower ends of the we l1 sections against the vertical flange of the angle iron sill beam 5. The structu: e is adapted to be 7 supported by downwardly ex'ten in posts 13 suitably secured under 168th the s1 1.

As shown I preferably fit a packi 14 of rubber or other suitable 1 laterial wit in the channel 9 m the ridge 1 lember, filling the space between the upper 1 lid of said channel and the roof sections, i nd constituting a ti ht joint.

claim as my inventio 1:

1. In aeonstruction of the class described wall sections com risin a plurality o plates havin inter ockin; curled edges the eeedges o the curl ah one side of the plate being inters aced from the plate a distance greater t n' tl e diameter of the adjacent curl in the nex; plate whereby to allow the larger curl to 7 D6 laterally slipped over the sma er curl, a ioof carrying member supported upon the upper ends of said face, and rods positional within theinterlocking curls of said pla es.

2. In a construction of the class described, a roof carrying memb :r formed with a channel u on its undersde, a side wall removably tted within sa .d channel com rismg a plurality of plates saving 'interloc 'n curled edges and rods p LSSl throughsaid curled edges, the free ed ;e o the curl upon one side of the plate bei1 Lg interspaced from the plate a distance gre tter than the diameter of the curl and con ained rod upon the adjacent edge of the ne: 1'. plate whereby to allow said rst mention ad curl to be laterally. slipped over said last mentioned curl and r0 3. In a construction 0: the class described,

a ridge member, an eave member, said ridge and eave member beim; formed with corresponding channels, a 1' )Of removably fitted in said channels, a fillin, within one of said channels and between tl L6 inner wall of the channel and free edge of the roof and a wall fitted in connection with said eave member.

4. In a construction 0 5 the class described,-

a wall, an eave supper ted above the same and formed with a downwardly extending flange, a ridge member formed with a channel, and a roof remova )ly-supported at its a'ridge formed of a single piece of sheet metal bent to form channels upon its opposite sides, a cooperating eave member, roof plates fitti at their upper ends in said channels an at their lower endssupported by said eave members, and wall plates sup- 1U ported underneath said eave. members.-

In testimon whereof I afix my signature in presence 0 two witnesses.
