The Collapse of a Building During Construction
At the request of some of the members of the Society, the writer presents this brief description of the construction and collapse of the Hotel Darlington, with the object of bringing out a discussion which may lead to improvement in the designs of such buildings. Gonstruction.—The building was being erected on lots known as Nos. 59 and 59½ West 46th Street, Borough of Manhattan, City of New York. The land measured about 55 ft. in width by 100 ft. 5 ins. in depth. On the east and west sides, the adjacent buildings were of the ordinary construction for residences–of brick with brownstone fronts, four stories and basement in height. The Hotel Darlington, as the new structure was to be called, was being constructed on the “cage” system, that is, all the weight was supported on the columns.
