The Architectural League exhibition in New York showcased Bruce Price's plan for a 449 foot high 82 story building on a 75 by 75 foot lot. The design uses a steel frame with granite brick marble and terra cotta walls that carry only their own weight, centered elevator cores, and a foundation via bedrock or cement concrete over piled supports.
A proposed octagonal core will house eight elevators with specialized freight transport. Three shafts serve the first ten floors, two extend to the twentieth with no stops in the lower range, and two reach above the twentieth floor. The exterior will resemble marble and brick, though built in steel and iron, with an illustration showing the design. Estimated per floor cost would be no more than one third of a standard building, considering the rent value of the extra space.
