A structure that is destined to mark
a new era in city dwelling construc-
tion is the mammoth building known
as the Lincoln Square Building, now
rapidly nearing completion. This
unique type of building is built on a
site 317 feet long and 274 feet wide,
located On Fort street west and ex-
tending front Cavalry to Military ave-
nues. It is, in fact, a series of build-
ings and is a near approach to a
made-to-order small town, for it will
house a population equivalent to a
thriving community of 600 people and
all that is necessary to maintain it.
The Lincoln Square Building con-
sists of 110 apartments, each of five
rooms and bath, with every conceiv-
able modern improvement. It will
furnish accommodations to fourteen
shops on the Fort street side in which
the residents of the building may pur-
chase their groceries, drugs, clothing,
hardware, and other necessaries.
There will also be four suites of of-
flees of three rooms each for physi-
cians, dentists, etc. A large six-story
modern warehouse in the rear will
take care of the storage needs of the
community. Even the cultural and
recreational development of the small
"town" is provided for in a beautiful
theater with a seating capacity of
2,000 persons. The latter institution
holds the center of the entire building
scheme.
This colossal prOject was conceived
in the mind of Louis Smilansky, who
with unusual courage undertook to
put his theory of efficient living into
concrete form. Mr. Smilansky with
a prophetic vision contemplated the
continued growth of this great me-
tropolis to a point where it would be
impossible to properly serve the needs
of the increased population by present
methods. IIe foresaw the inevitable
development of the city within a city,
and dared to accelerate the situation
by actually putting his idea into con-
crete form.
