A Building Twenty-eight Stories High

Savannah News. Mr. L. S. Buffigton proposes erecting in Minneapolis a twenty-eight story building, in which he will utilize a method of iron building construction patented by Jiim, and which, if it proves practicable, will probably cause a revolution in the construction of houses. The building, when completed,* will not weigh one-half as much as an ordinary one of the same size. It will be 80x80 feet on the ground, 350 feet to the top of the glass lookout, and will contain 728 large offices. '
