This structure is being erected on a plot 39x 100 feet, at 163-165 West 57th street, in a neighborhood where a number of buildings devoted to art in its various branches are located. The new building, which embodies a number of interesting features, has been designed and planned by G. A. & H. Boehm, architects, 7 West 42d street, and the engineer far the structural steel work is S. C. Weiskopf, 68 William street. The active construction is pro¬ gressing under the direction of the Mur¬ phy Construction Co., 50 Church street, which has a general contract for the completion of the building. Among the sub-contractors who are supplying labor and materials are in- G. A. & H. Boehm, Arch'ts. CHALIF NORMAL SCHOOL OF DANCING. eluded the following concerns: R. D.

Other contracts for the completion of this buildmg will be awarded as the work progresses. In the design of the facade a purely modern style has been followed, which has been relieved by decorations, classi¬ cal in character, and taken from the Greek and Roman periods. For the first story marble will be used, and the construction of the upper stories will be of buff brick and polychrome terra cotta, topped by a colonnade, which forms a loggia and supports the Spanish tile roof. The facade will add consider¬ able interest to the locality in which it is being erected as the design is pleasing and denotes in a characteristic manner the purpose of the structure of which It is a part. On the first floor the space has been devoted to oflSces, reception foyer, coat room, dressing rooms, lavatories with four shower baths, and a large studio. The second floor will be used entirely as a large ball room with a mezzanine gallery at the south end. The third floor has been planned for use as a ba.n- quet room and is equipped with a serv¬ ing pantry which includes all conven¬ iences for properly serving a dinner or supper, luncheon, etc. The service will be from a kitchen located in the base¬ ment, by way of the service elevator On_ the fourth floor, Louis H. Chalif, principal of the school, will have his living apartments. This floor has been planned as a nine-room housekeeping- apartment, with three baths. The lay¬ out and arrangement of the rooms is an excellent one and in its equipment is included all of the features now to be found in apartments of the highest type. The fifth floor has been designed for use as a sun parlor, which will be glass enclosed and heated in winter, and open on all sides when the weather is favor¬ able. This roof will be used for recrea¬ tion purposes and may also be used for a variety of social functions during the warm weather. Structurally, the building is fireproof, and it has been so planned that the future addition of two extra stories will be possible should the necessity for more space arise. The structure will be heated by steam and ventilated by a system of intake and exhaust fans which circulates the air after it has been fil¬ tered and washed. Two electric eleva¬ tors will be installed, one passenger and the other for service. Both will be operated so as to include the fifth floor or sun parlor. In addition to these ele¬ vators, communication between the floors will be possible by means of a fully enclosed stairway, and in the event of a fire panic egress may be had by way of an exterior stairway which ex¬ tends from the sun parlor to the street level and which is screened for its en¬ tire length. The decorations of the principal rooms, reception foyer, ballroom and banquet-room, will be Classic in every feature, and will harmonize in all re¬ spects. The neighborhood in which this build¬ ing is being erected abounds in struc¬ tures devoted to the cultivation of the arts, including Carnegie Hall and stu¬ dios, the National Arts Building and many studio buildings which are well rented. The ball room of the new struc¬ ture is said to be about the same size as the Mendelssohn Glee Club Hall, which was demolished a few years ago and which has never been replaced by another building of similar character. The owner of this building intends to permit the use of this room for small private dances, recitals, chamber con¬ certs and functions of a like nature, feel¬ ing that there is a demand for accom¬ modations of this kind.
