RIPAITM:N'T tHOIIS OF TH MTROIPOLIS 3 HIS WORK requires but few words of introduction —a glance through the pages will make clear to all, whether directly or remotely concerned, the importance of the enterprise. The elevations, and especially the floor plans, cannot but prove invaluable to all who are immediately or distantly identified with high grade apartment house interests, while the briefly mentioned facts and figures will always be of importance. This branch of realty has been, and still is, growing rapidly and steadily year by year and the necessity for an authoritative record for architects, builders and operators has become very clear, and the demand for a work of reference which might confidently be depended upon, we have undertaken to supply. Our unique position as publishers of over nine-tenths of all the rental booklets in Greater New York, gives us an enormous advantage, and it is being utilized in the production of this work. Every business man connected with high grade apartment house construction cannot but recognize that, if for no other reason than the saving of valuable time in looking up facts connected with apartment house construction, the work will prove its value. 4 xPA-RTMENT HOUSES OF THE METROPOLIS Built by ROBIN DALE COMPTON 1907,Q8 C, W. BUCKH-AM Architect APPITMENT HOUSES OF TlHE METI)TPOLIS 5 An Essay on Duplex Apartments in General, and those at 471 Park Avenue in Particular, by Richard Morton T HE Duplex Apartment is the creation of definitely modern art and architecture. It disdains the timid methods ot the Nineteenth century. It answers, directly and completely, a demand that was previously not understood. The Duplex Apartment is not only a modern creation; it is a New York creation. In a metropolis where individual houses are becoming impossible and undesirable, it presents an ideal opportunity for individual homes. In it guests can be entertained attractively and conveniently, and the family can live as much by themselves as in an Italian palace-but more comfortably. The Duplex Apartments at 471 Park Avenue are beautifully arranged as well as beautifully spaced. The generous salon, with ceiling of double height and with balcony or ingle nook, is amplified by library and dining room and hall, that open into it. The salon is the great living room that corresponds to the Medieval Hall and the Classic Atrium, and its splendid acoustic properties endear it to singers. For entertaining, with music or cards or dancing, at luncheon or tea or dinner, the resources of these Duplex Apartments are adequate-even for entertaining largely. Just as the salon is supplemented by the dining room and the library, so the kitchen and the pantry are supplemented by special rooms in the basement, for the caterers' men, the swift service-elevators keeping them in quick communication with the waiters. The ventilation of the apartments is pertect, and the temperature is uniformly right. This will be especially appreciated by aniy who have alternately frozen and baked in small rooms. The volume of air in the salon is sufficient for many, and is quickly freshened without draft through fireplace and lofty windows. The ventilation of the associated group of rooms assists and is assisted by that of the salon. The superciliousness and ineffectiveness of janitors and superintendents has passed from jest into proverb, and from proverb into lamentation. At 471 Park Avenue the entire service is under the direct control of the landlords, who are stockholders in the Company, owning and occupying over half of the apartments. They are in a position to see things from the lessee's point of view and they have the power to get action. The stockholders being anxious to have the furnishings or the apartments conform to the general high character of the building, specially engaged a firm of architectural decorators to design, install and finish the woodwork and interior fitments. They will co-operate generously with these or other decorators to carry out the wishes of lessees. The decorative possibilities of the salons are many. Individual taste can express itself freely. There is room for large and unusual pieces of furniture, for tapestries and embroideries, and for carved mirrors and lamps and statuary. Yet the filndamental lines are so noble, that with the simplest treatment and little ornamentation there is no appearance of coldness or bareness. There can be no lack of light by either day or evening. The windows are wide and high. The lighting fixtures and extra attachments are many and well placed. There are no dark walls or dark ceilings to devour the illumination. The salons are in waxed straight-oak, the libraries and dining rooms and bed rooms painted in soft tones, the kitchens and pantries in natural birch, the bath rooms enameled white. Filmy, transparent draperies should be employed freely to temper the brightness of sun and sky, especially in the broad light of the salons where elaborate overdraperies will not be out of place. Silk and opal and mosaic shades in luminous colors will soften the artificial light. The apartments, as lettered on the plan of the living room floor, are A, B, C, D, E, all with vacuum cleaning, refrigeration, and private service elevator. All are duplex, with two story salon, except the E's, that are single floor bachelor suites, consisting of living room, hall, chamber, bath and pantry having full kitchen equipment. The building is admirably situated at the southeast corner of Fifty-eighth street. One is impressed by the dignity and agreeable proportions of the fagade, whether approaching from north or south or west. The lofty arched windows of the duplex salons have been made an interesting part of the elevation, the ground of which is gray brick enlivened with Moravian tiles in dull reds and greens. This is simplicity without monotony. The entrance is set off majestically by a straight ped(liment carried on six massive ~carved columns. The marquise and doors are glass, and iron that has been wrought rm into beautiful shapes. On the left of the vestibule are a waiting room and a telephone room. The public foyer is domed with glass, and floored with deep red Welsh tiles. The wvalls, and frieze, and ceiling are paneled in Caen stone. Too much cannot be said about the safety of the building. It is as completely proof against fire as apartment houses of this type can he made. If you are a collector, you can without fear close the door behind you anti travel around the world. It is not necessary to send books, or jewels, or musical instruments, or laces, or textiles to storage. Here thev are under constant surveillance and are safe.

A conservatory on the Mansard story is richly furnished and is conducted as a sun parlor for the comfort and convenience of tenants; also a billiard parlor and cafe in the second basement and a first-class barber shop, ladies' hair dressing parlor and valet and tailor service. Five elevators are in operation, making separate provision for guests, servants and freight. The Annex is designed for one apartment on a floor of eleven rooms and four baths and is in keeping and under the same management as the Chatsworth. The whole plot covers 170 feet on 72nd street, 2o8 feet on the river front and 90 feet on 7ist street. Rents of the Chatsworth and Annex are from $,000ooo to $4,500. __ 10 APARTMENT HOIUSE S -I-HE M:ET1IOOPOLIS JOHNSON - KAHN COMPANY HE JOHNSON-KAHN COMPANY was organized in 1902, in which year they erected the Chatsworth Apartments, at Riverside Drive and 72nd Street, a massive structure in the modern Renaissance style of architecture, which at that time was the largest and most complete building of its kind in the world. Its site, directly on the river front and at the start of Riverside Drive, gives it that exclusiveness of character which cannot be duplicated, while its many appointments for comfort, pure air and health all tend to make the perfect home. Two years of conscientious labor brought this operation to a successful conclusion and two years later the company erected an eight-story annex to the Chatsworth on::_ c72Znd street. The Annex contains but one apartment on a floor of eleven rooms and four baths and from their size and plan, together with its many conveniences make a floor equal to a five-story, 25 foot private house. The same year of the building of the Chatsworth Annex the Hendrik Hudson Company was organized, which is a companion company to the Johnson-Kahn Company, the President being George F. Johnson, Sr.; Vice-President, Leopold Kahn; Treasurer, George F. Johnson, Jr., and Secretary, GEORG;E F. JOhNSoN, JR. Aleck Kahn. In the early Summer of 1906 ground was broken for of their undertakings, the Hendrik Hudson Apartments. the greatest It is a safe prediction that in any future day, no matter what the changes may be, any list of great apartment houses of this time will certainly mention the Chatsworth and Hendrik Hudson apartments. The magnitude of the buildings, their perfect appointments for comfort and convenience, the charming localities, their exclusiveness, all combine to make ideal places of residence. One primary thought was in the minds of architect and builders who were identified with these massive structures, and that was comfort combined with safety. In. every particular these strictly fireproof buildings have been designed with a view to health. Pure air and ample light have been regarded as essentials. The Hendrik Hudson and addition has a frontage of 90 feet on Broadway, 295 feet on Cathedral Parkway (I ioth street), 208 feet on Riverside Drive by 1 35 feet on West I i th street, contains 130 apartments, and is the largest apartment house built in i906 to I 908. The architect of this latter operation, William L. Rouse, formerly of Rouse & Sloan, has much to be proud of. This building combination, of which Mr. Geo. F. Johnson, Jr., and Mr. Aleck Kahn are the only active members, and who, alone, attend to the many details of construction, contemplate several large only very large and very high-class apartment houses.

FLOOR PLAN~J APAIPTMNT ItIOUSS Or F-He MT-TI:IOPLIS 49 J. AXELROD.-GEO. F. PELHAM. /OF sturdy stock, materially aided by surroundings and conditions which have developed to the utmost his true value in his chosen field, Mr. J. Axelrod, the subject of this sketch, stands pre-eminent among the foremost of his calling. Born in Stuttgart, in Saxony, in the year I866, he passed his early youth minus the advantages of luxury, but in the enjoyment of good health and with a tendancy to invigorating pursuits which would all the better aid him in developing those good traits of character which later became so characteristic. A business career was entered upon by him in I889 and real estate was the chosen field-his first operations being in the then City of Brooklyn, where he erected a number of flat-houses, which proved a most satisfactory business enterprise. This was soon followed by operations in New York, among which might be mentioned the Manhattan Hotel, the Victoria, the St. James, West End, Terrace Court and St. Denis in New York City. The first building enterprise was in 1896, when a row of twenty-five-foot flats was built in Eighty-third street. The second was on Ninety-third street, near Riverside Drive, where two apartment houses were built in i899. In Igoo, five apartment houses were constructed in West Ninety-fourth street, Nos. 306 to 316 inclusive. Then in rapid succession followed St. James Court; Manhattan Hotel; Victoria West End, West I22d street; the Grant; Delaware, I22d street; Girard; Miami; J. AXELRIOD Builder Spencer Apartments, in West i2ist street; and on West inth street, the Colonial, Munroe and Cragsmoor. In 1905, he constructed two apartment buildings on 93rd street, near Riverside Drive. In the years 1904-05, he built Terrace Court, a ten-story fireproof apartment building, I25 feet by Ioo feet. In the same years he reared the Riverview and Clarence, on West 93rd street. The years 1905-6, saw the St. Denis, a ten-story fireproof dwelling, on 92nd street and Riverside Drive, arrive at completion. In 1907, the Vancouver on West 93rd street, and a 75-foot six-story apartment house identical with the Vancouver, on West 94th street, raised their substantial lines to view, followed in 1907, by Hague Court, corner of Ii8th street and Morningside Drive and the East View and the Terrace, corner of 118th street and Morningside Drive. In 190o8, he completed the Hanover on 83rd street and Park avenue, a ninestory fireproof structure. He now has in course of construction, three 7I-foot apartment buildings on West I43d street, between Broadway and Amsterdam avenue. Surely this is an enviable record for any builder, but Mr. Axelrod contemplates many important operations in the future. Remarkably self-reliant at all times, he has pushed his various enterprises to success by personal application alone. Mr. George F. Pelham has been associated with Mr. Axelrod as architect in all of his operations and is one of the foremost and best known architects in New York City. Mr. George J. Cohn, Secretary of the West Side Construction Co., has been (GEO. F. PEHIAM practically identified with the building industry for over forty years, and during that period has personally directed and brought to completion over seventy-five of New York's substantial residential and other structures. His advice and experience have proven of great value in this aggregation of building talent and Mr. Axelrod's success is largely due to the untiring efforts and assistance of the two gentlemen referred to.

HARLES and JOSEPH PATERNO, the subjects of this sketch, are the sons of the late John Paterno, who died in i 899. At the time of his demise the elder Paterno had attained an eminence and position among the contractors and builders of his time second to none. His ability and thoroughness in the field in which he labored was augmented by his sterlingintegrity and conscientious application to the vast interests that claimed his attention. At the time of his death he had under construction, among other undertakings, two typical apartment structures on West I I 2th street and four similar buildings on I o6th street, on which he had labored _ with1 all the earnestness he was capable of and in which his pride as a builder was concentrated. He was destined never to witness the fruition of his work. At this critical moment in their lives the young men, Charles and Joseph IPaterno, were enjoying the advantages made possible by the thrift and industry of their father. Charles had just completed the collegiate course at Cornell Universit y, and was the proud possessor of an M. D. diploma, having received his degree of doctor of medicine, after a painstaking and worthy struggle, in which he earned deserved credit. His brother Joseph, scarcely i 8 years of age, was pursuing his studies, preliminary to a college course, in the high schools of this city. Of the structures upon which their father JOSEP Excelo had labored, and which, at his death stood incomplete, were the two apartment JOSEPH PATERO houses, 50o7- 9 West I i 2th street, destined to stand as a monument to the elder Paterno's application and constructive ability. But three stories of this fine structure had been raised, when these young men found theselves called upon to assume the undertaking and management of their father's affairs. Young in years, they had, nevertheless, studied the business standards and principles demonstrated by their parent, and their familiarity with his methods coupled with their inherited business capacity, soon acquainted them with the conditions and possibilities made imperative by his death, and with what success they undertook the task, the conlpletion of this structure under their guidance, speaks most plainly. " Excelsior" has been their watchword, and by united effort, coupled with indomitable energy, what measure of standing and responsibility they enjoy in their chosen field of energy, is richly deserved. With the completion of the aforementioned two apartment houses and other unfinished work left to them, they entered into the profession of their father with an inherited assiduity and have erected in upper New York some of its most substantial and pleasing apartment houses and dwellings, among which are: San Mareno, on West I 2th street and the Salome, built in 1900-1, a seven-story apartment house on Io5th street; El Casco Court, on lo3rd street, i901o-2; Putnam Court, West Io4th street, I902-3; Warren Hall, West IISth street, 1903; Revere Hall, West I 14th street, 1904-5; Hudson Hall, West I 14th street, 1904-5; Cathedral Court, West Iisth street and Morningside Drive, I904-5 In these later operations Charles Paterno was secretary and treasurer of the company, Joseph Paterno was president, and their brother-in-law, Mr. Victor Cerebone, was vice-president.. In i9o5-6 Charles and Joseph jointly constructed two corner and two inside apartment houses, covering the entire block front on Morningside Drive, from I i5th to I i6th streets, namely: the La Valenciennes, La Touraine, Mount Cenis and Park Court, these structures being disposed of within six months of their completion. This successful venture was followed by the construction of a number of ten and twelve story fireproof _ apartment houses The years 19o6-7 were identified with the erection of two ten-story buildings, the Fioraville and Paterno, 616-620 West I 6th street. Following this, in 1907-8, and up to the present time, they were busily employed in the DR. CHARLES PATERNO erection of a splendid twelve-story and basement dwelling in conjunction with an imposing edifice of ten stories, besides several others in preparation. Their success has been most deserved, and when indefatigable industry, conscientious dealing and business ability are coupled with artistic and mechanical thoroughness, to say nothing of the determination to use none but the best materials and to insist upon the highest class workmanship, we know why these young men have succeeded so signally. Mr. V. Cerebone, upon the completion of Warren Hall, severed his relations with the Paterno Brothers and entered into business as a contractor and builder, and has met with gratifying success.

SILVERMAN ID)ENTIFIED with the gigantic strides made in recent years in the attempts to beautify the "City Beautiful " by the combined efforts of both architect and builder, we mention one who has by reason of youth and signal ability, deservedly earned a place among his fellows as a progressive and popular builder. Mr. Robert M. Silverman is a native New Yorker, and was born September i9th, 1875, and at this writing has reached his thirty-second birthday. Born of sterling, rugged ancestry, his early ambition to fit himself for the stolid business of life was further advanced in that his parents granted him every opportunity that was within their far-seeing province. Through their instrumentality largely has lie reached the flattering position in business life which he enjoys to-day. By the same indomitable energy, perseverance and adhesiveness to all undertakings that were characteristics of pere and mere Silverman, the son Robert is identified. At an early age he entered Grammar School No. 68 in this city, from whence he graduated to City College. His application to his studies and proficiency were of a notable order, and step by step he advanced, until he attained the highest honors possible in this institution of learning-fully intending to enter upon and follow the High Beatrice, 35-37 West I3 Ist street; School course as a necessary adjunct the Rosedale, 352 West I I 8th to fit him for higher studies. But street; the Claire, 348 West I I8th luck destined otherwise, and at this street; the Robert, h4-i6 West important period of his life he Io7th street; the Millard, I8-20 grasped the opportunity that proved West Io7th street; Manhattan to be the "tide that leads on to Court, southeast corner of ioIst fortune." Having completed the = street and Manhattan avenue; the school course preparatory to enter- Richfield, 4 Manhattan avenue; ing business, he was, in a very short the Sharon, 2 M anhattan avenue, his individual capacity as a con- hattan avenue; New University ractor and builder, and in the year Court, northwest corner I 17th street I 897 we find him equipped and en- and Morningside avenue West, a gaged in erecting a building that has house containing nine families on a proven a lasting tribute to his enter- floor, 54 families to the building, prise and ability, for, notwithstand- one of the largest of its six-story ing his youthfulness-he was only types in New York; the Judson, twenty-two years of age at this southeast corner Io8th street and time —he carried to completion that Manhattan avenue; Tile Junior, s u b stan tial and well-constructed northeast corner Io7th street and apartment house, the De Leon, Manhattan avenue, the Emperor, SC-52 West II2th street. Phenom- P54 Manhattan a v e n u e; t h e genius was but aforerunner of aston- the Earlington, I62 Manhattan ishing efforts to follow. Very shortly avenue; 225-227-229 West 69th afterward, he constructed the Fron- street, bachelor apartment house, Rommr T. SILVERMAN tenac, 76 West I I3th street; the and at this writing he has in preparation several high-class structures that will further add to his renown as a capable builder and one possessed of attributes and characteristics that must make for his future success in no unmistaken tones. Mr. Silverman as a man among men occupies a position of no uncertain tenor. His character and nature have eminently fitted him to command confidence and attract to his clientele men of large undertakings and capital. His value in his chosen field of industry has manifested itself so materially in the many and stupendous undertakings he has so signally completed, that worth and merit alone have surrounded him with friends and patrons that have helped him attain the eminence he possesses in New York's business world. Blunt and outspoken, but decidedly to the point, in all his discussions on matters of business, he is, withal, of a kindly and charitable disposition, and one in whose veins flows an inexhaustible supply of the corpuscles of human kindness. He is a typical "good fellow," and one finds him always in a humorous mood and as ready to receive a jest as to impart one. He nevertheless will tolerate no shirking or indifference upon the part of his employes or sub-contractors. His insistance upon a fair day's work for a fair day's pay, and a strict adherence to the spirit and intent of any and all contracts made by him with various colaborers in his field of energy, have become as characteristic as is his daily life of energy and hard work. Young as he was at the beginning of his career as a builder and contractor, whose field was the upbuilding and rearing of structures for dwelling purposes, his intuition as to the possiblities of upper New York as a field for the exploitation of the grand and beautiful in architectural channels, was no idle dream. To-day his fondest ideals have attained reality, and as one gazes upon the vast aggregation of beautiful buildings that rear their handsome and substantial lines along the beautiful Riverside Drive and contiguous thoroughfares, the credit for this " Garden Spot of the Metropolis " is in no small measure due to the intelligence, thrift and public spirit of such men as Robert M. Silverman, and his colaborers, without whose practical and valuable skill this pleasing condition never could have been attained. APARTMENT HO1ISC5 Or 'riT McTIPOPOLIS 7I Built ROBERT M.

The words which were spoken in that far distant day may, with equal truth, be said in this, our day and generation, and will be quite as appropriate in the days to come. Surely the works of Robert Wallace will remain a silent, but eloquent monument to the man, and a testimonial to brains and energy employed in the interests with which he was so closely identified. Any record concerning the growth and development of private residences and of high-class apartment house property, especially in that section of New York known as the Upper West Side, would be incomplete unless mention was made of the efforts and the successes which have followed the efforts of the subject of this sketch. In the beginning of his successful career Mr. Wallace directed his energies primarily to private residences, and numerous substantial houses were erected in localities which were carefully selected for their desirable advantages as home sites. About sixty-three private houses were put up by Mr. Wallace, for all of which there have been ready purchasers, a testimony more eloquent than any words, for it unmistakably pointed to the confidence which was placed in any building operation with which Mr. six private houses on io3rd street, beWallace was identified. tween Broadway and West End avenue; Among the important operations there twelve private houses on ioist street, might be mentioned the handsome block between West End avenue and Riverof flats on Amsterdam avenue, between side Drive. 8?th and 88th streets; the row of eleven: After the completion of the Ioist houses in 88th street, between Columbus _ street houses, Mr. Wallace went South and Amsterdam avenues; the row of et in order to supervise the building of a eight houses in 8oth street; five houses wharf. During his absence his son, in 75th street, between t h e same Robert Wallace, Jr., who was closely avenues; six houses in 78th street, be-!; associated with him in all building entertween West End avenue and Rivers de prises, carried to successful completion Drive; eight houses in 68th street be- the erection of two large apartment tween Eighth avenue and Columbus _ houses on 183rd street and Wadsworth avenue; in 96th street seven flats, avenue for himself. between Columbus and Amsterdam Robert Wallace, the senior, having avenues; seven private houses on 96th RBERT WALI.ACE returned to the scenes of his first buildstreet, between Eighth and Columbus; RoaER'r WA..AC:, JR. ing activity, has again put forth his energy and engaged his talents in the field where he has been so long and favorably known, and is now engaged, in conjunction with his son, in bringing to completion an elevator apartment structure on i49th street and Broadway, which will bear his name, and which will be somewhat in the nature of a monument to his memory and a reminder and encouragement to builders who have a desire to improve and beautify this great city with apartment houses worthy of the Metropolis. It is sincerely to be hoped that no matter what circumstances may arise in the future, no matter what changes may occur, that the name of Wallace will always be identified with this property. Mr. Wallace believes that he has fairly earned a rest after the many years of intense business activity, and in his son, Robert, Jr., he has a worthy successor, in whom implicit confidence may be placed for the carrying out of any enterprise which he undertakes to a successful completion, for he is recognized in the trade where he has an army of friends, as a man who is a worthy successor to a father, who, although he may no longer take an active part in building, will ever be remembered as one of the first as he was one of the most progressive builders in this, the greatest city that the world has ever known; a city, no inconsiderable part of which he built himself.

KRULEWITCH 'THE immortal poet truly said of a great man, "Not to know him is to argue one's self unknown." This applies in a peculiarly strong manner concerning the subject of this sketch, Emanuel M. Krulewitch. Any operator in upper New York real estate, who is not familiar with the name of Krulewitch, has something essential to learn before he can talk intelligently concerning the growth and development of this great interest which is identical with the growth and advancement of the city. About thirty years ago Mr. Krulewitch first saw the light of day. We do not know that at that time he gave evidence of a keen understanding of what was going on about him, but it did not require many years for him to realize that this was a world in which intelligent activity counted, for at the early age of fifteen, having received a public school education which entitled him to graduation and a higher course of study, he entered into business with his father, who was engaged in real estate transactions in the Metropolis, and there, in the office and outside in the field of activity, obtained a practical knowledge of a business where he could put to very good use the education which he had received in the public school. About sixteen years ago, or from i892 to i9oo, he entered into business as a general contractor, under the firm name of Emanuel M. Krulewitch. The practical experience which it had been his good fortune to secure, combined with an energetic nature, soon mani-. he brought to completion the two fested itself, and several tenement elevator apartment houses, Simna Hall houses were erected on First avenue, and the Marimpol Court, on West notably those numbered 2oo9, 2o0I one hundred and twenty-second street. and 20I3.

The architectural features of this pleasing structure are well worth noting. The rich and elaborate front has withal a quiet and dignified tone very pleasing to a refined taste. At the present date Mr. Krulewitch is putting up two elevator houses at 50o2 and 522 West 148th street, named respectively the Lusitania and the Mauretania Court, and further operations are contemplated in the near future; one will be a ten-story, fireproof building on Morningside Drive near 122nd street, and others will be built in localities which have everything to commend them. This brief sketch would not be complete without mention being made of the affable nature of Mr. Krulewitch, which quite naturally makes for him a host of friends, but there is one striking business characteristic which many of us could copy with profit, and that is that under no circumstances will he let friendship or any pleasure interfere with business in the slightest manner. In every particular he lives up to the full letter of his agreements, and when he agrees to any proposition he keeps his word absolutely. Except as a precaution in the event of death, a verbal contract is as good as one written and witnessed by a dozen people.
