Sandwich floor graft planned for Pittsburgh granite building
A dramatic engineering project will add a new story to the Granite Building at Sixth Avenue and Wood Street in Pittsburgh. Architect Theodore Bichhole, a former U S engineer, plans to graft a new level by replacing four 4,500 ton granite pillars with steel, cost about 206000 dollars, and complete in 90 days. The John Eichleay Jr company will perform the jacking work, with city and tenants approving the plan. A second note reports Willard Hill, 55, hanged himself in Des Moines.
