Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Baltimore Ohio New Terminal: At 23d Street New York City On September is the new General Office Building of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad company was formally occupied, and for the first time since the great fire of February 7, 1904, have all of the great offices of the Company been brought together in immediate touch with each other. The old Central Building, constructed in 1880, was totally destroyed in the great fire, together with the building adjoining used as an annex. Fortunately the fire did not destroy Camden Station and the executive, operating and traffic departments of the Company had quarters which they could put to immediate use, while many other department were widely scattered owing to lack of office buildings. The phenomenal increase of business of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad since the receivership in 1896 naturally required a larger home to handle it in than was originally provided in the old Central Building; and the new structure, which is the largest and most imposing building in the city of Baltimore, was most carefully planned and admirably executed to provide the most modern structure possible in which to conduct business with the quickest dispatch, greatest comforts and most attractive surroundings. Probably no building in the country was given more careful consideration to provide for the welfare of a great army of employes than this handsome structure. The process of lighting, heating cooling and ventilation is practically perfect, and the health of the occupants is unquestionably protected in every manner known to science. All air and water brought into the building is absolutely purified before it is distributed. Scientifically, the various processes introduced are most interesting, and will be described in a descriptive article later on.
