NEW “OPEN STAIR” BEAT POLICEMAN \ TENEMENTS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC Model Houses Bullt by Mrs. Vanderbilt Mark Reform in Construction. The “open stair’ tenement houses ‘built by Mrs. W. K. Vanderbilt er. in Seventy-seventh and Seventy-sighth streota, facing John Jay Park, which were designed as models for a new type of apartment house construction to give secrificing ground value, are open for public inspection to-day, Prot. Charlee F. Chandler of Columbia University, who has been greatly interested in this reform, conducted a party through the Sulldings yesterday and then announced that the public would be welcome for the next week. The four bulldings stand together in & group, the big Vanderbilt pair stand- ing back to back with those of the Open Stair Tenement Company on the next street, Bntrance from the atreet ts through an arched passageway leading to a large central court. In each corner of this central court are four shafts or stair wells, open on the court side, a platform givink entrance to the tene- tients on each floor. ‘This stairway arrangement, while not new in principle, is new in the detail of {te design. In 1878 Alfred T. White, | formerly Commissioner of Public Works in Brooklyn, erected an open atatr tene- | ment, but faults in design militated | against ite success. The Vanderbilt ar- rangement {s conceded to be wholly practicable from all standpoints of both sanitation and building economy. This form of construction requires fewer wally and gives 12 per cent, more bed- room space Other, If not the chief, advantages claimed for the “opan stair” are the| acoeembility of the stairs at all times | to escape ‘re; absolute segregation of @ach apartment; impossibility of con- tagious diseases being communi- cated from apartment to apartment, | and the fact that @ fireman can, by | standing in the middle of the court, | play @ hose directly at each of the ninety-stz exit doors in the building, or @ policeman, pistol in hand, can command every exit. In spite of these advantages the open stair 1s a direct violation of the law, which states that all staire shall be wholly inclosed in brick walls, It 18 hoped by the promoters of the idea! thet the diMculty will be removed| through the discretionary powers vested in the controlling authorities.
