Nearly Sound-proof
Particular attention was paid by:
J. B. Warraek. in planning tne
building, to sound deadening and
as a result, both walls and floors
are separated from one another
with two layers of hair felt pad
ding. making the apartments near
ly sound-proot
There is a laundry on the first
floor with four tubs and an extra,
large drying room with a fan ar
rangement in back of the radiators
to facilitate quick drying of clothes.
A schedule of hours and days for
tenants to utilize the laundry will
be made out and posted.
On the first floor also is a met
er room containing the meters for
all of the apartments so that none
show in the hallways to mar the
appearance of the walls, and for
further convenience in reading
them.
Entrance and Lobby
Carrying out the idea of making
the building attractive in every
detail the main lobby and entrance
have had special attention given
them. Large doors with orna
mental leaded glass open into a
vestibule finished with imported
rainbow Welch quarries from which
double doors lead into the lobby.
Decorated moulding is used in
the lobby and the walls are glazed
and have a, raised surface with
modernistic vertical lines.
All entrance doors to vestibule
and lobby are made c l mohogany
as are the entrance doors to the
apartments.
Both stairways are of laminated
construction, with fire doors and
there is no wood lath anywhere.
Plastering is of a gypsum board
base throughout the building.
Floors In lobby, corridors and
stairs are covered with high grade
carpeting with Vi-inch ozite pad
ding underneath.
