Dream Homes of Tomorrow to Have
Glass-Metal Walls Like This Hotel
In the not too distant future, some construction experts believe,
neople will be building “dream” houses with walls of glass and metal.
Of course, the metal parts of these walls will be treated with porce
ain to provide a beautiful and durable exterior and one that requires
.o maintenance, rugnt now a
kyscraper hotel, the Statler, is
eing built in Hartford, Conn.,
ith this kind of exterior, and
lany architects and engineers
ly that this scientifically de
gned hotel will revolutionize
all-building techniques of the
ature. Statler also is using
lass-metal walls in another
)01-room hotel it is building in
>allas, Tex. (above).
Although the walls of these
tew hotels are thinner than ma
onry walls would be, they are
ronger, more weather-proof,
more shock-resistant and dur
able, says Harold B. Callis,
wa _in cuctr0e oi the ,
construction projects.
Another prime advan
tage o'f the glass-metal walls,
according to William B. Tab
ler, the architect who de
signed the hotels, is that it
provides the utmost in fire
protection. The Statler walls
were subjected to 1700-degree
temperatures for 2-hour per
ods in an independent testing
laboratory. They came out un
scathed.
Already experimental homes
utilizing glass-metal facading
have been constructed and public
reaction has been very favorable.
“Why shouldn’t it be?” asked
J. P. Travis, whose company fab
ricated the Statler walls. “Work
ing with metal and glass you can
create homes of striking modern
beauty, homes that provide the
utmost in comfort and homes
that are very easy to heat or to
air-condition. If the Greeks had
had available the materials we
have, and they had our scientific
knowledge, they would have used
glass and metal just as we are
doing today."
Another advanced feature of
the Hartford Statler is a win
dowless, air-conditioned ballroom
area, capable of accommodating
the largest conventions. The
[ hotel will be opened this summer.
The Dallas Statler will be ready
I next year.
HALVERSON SNOWSHOES TO
SCHOOL YESTERDAY
The equinoxial storms of the
last couple of days have created
a blizzard which has drifted the
snow, but the higher the better
for Mr. Halverson, because he
made his first trip to school on
Thursday on snowshoes.
For more than 22 years he has
walked, run, or skiied to school
but yesterday was a memorable
one because, he said, it was the
first time he had ever had to don
snowshoes to get there.
A late - model interceptor jet
fighter plane carries more elec
tronic equipment than the average
television station — 495 tubes and
6,400 coils.
Tying himself to one woman
isn't what bothers a fella getting
married . . . it’s separating him
self from all the others.
