SPECIFICATION formingpart Of Lettersratent No. 700,794, dated May 27, 1902. Application filed February 19, 1902. Serial No. 94,722. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I,JOHNA.MARTlN-COOKE, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of ArlingtomMorris county, New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Buildings, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to an improved construction of apartment dwelling in which great privacy is obtained and ample facilities are provided for ventilating and lighting the apartments as well as the halls. V
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a horizontal section of a building embodying my improvement. Fig. 2 is a vertical longitudinal section thereof, and Fig. 3 a side elevation of the building. i
The building is composed of two rows of wings a, which are of rectangular form in cross-section. Each of the wings is set obliquely to the longitudinal axis of the building, so that a line drawn parallel to said axis through the centers and lateral angles of the wings constitutes a common diagonal for all those wings which are situated on one side of the building. In this waythe wings on one side face each other with their laterally-extending angles, while the inwardly-extending angles of one row of wings are directly oppow site the corresponding angles of the other row. The result is that each of the outer Wings has three exterior walls and one interior wall, while each of the central wings has two exterior and two interior walls, the arrangement providing abundant means for ad mitting air and light. The wings on the same side are separated from each other by short longitudinal walls I), extending from angle to angle. These walls have windows I), that throw the light into the hall. A rear wall 0, having window connects the rearmost wings at their angles, while a front wall d, having door'd, similarly connects the foremost wings. The hall is formed between the interior walls of the wings and is divided into sections by means of a partition or partitions e, projecting from angle to angle of the central wings. In this way each hall-section is of octagonal shape and receives light at two or more sides. At the center each hall surrounds a large well or shaft f, the sides of which are parallel to the wall and are guarded by a railing f. Thus each hall proper or landing g is continuous and extends along the wings and around the shaft to permit ready access to the apartment-doors and to receive ample light through windows I) c and a skylight it over 'theshaft f. Each" shaft contains a central staircase '5, made, preferably, T-shaped, and also, if-desired, an ele- 6o vatorj.
It will be seen that by the construction described each wing is entirely separated at its interiorwalls from the adjoining wings, so that ampleprivacy is obtained.v The exterior wall-surface is large to provide ample facilities for light and ventilation. The halls are also roomy and thoroughly lighted by the windows I) c and the skylight h. By placing the staircases i Withinthe central shafts they are separated from the walls 1) c d, as well as from' the interior Walls, by the continuous landings g. In this way the stairs do not in any way-interfere with the proper lighting of the hall nor do they occasion noisy traffic objectionable to the tenants.
The drawings show a dwelling with six wings; but this number mayrbe altered to suit circumstances. So, also, the wings may be polygonal or round in place of being of 8c the square shape shown.
What I claim is- A building composed of two rows of obliquely-set wings, opposing each other, and forming intermediate halls, exterior walls connecting adjoining wings at their angles, a light-shaft within the center of each hall, a surrounding continuous landing, and a staircase within the light-shaft inclosed by the landing, substantially as specified.
