In 1912, the Fort Worth Stock Yard Company built brick and steel fireproof buildings to replace wooden horse and mule barns destroyed by fire in 1911. The wide space between the building spawned the nickname "Mule Alley." During World War I, the Fort Worth Stock Yard Company was a major supplier of horses and mules to the war effort. The Fort Worth Stock Yard was the largest horse and mule market in the world. The former barns are contributing property in the Fort Worth Stockyards Historic District listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Blinded by the aluminum...
Not too bad huh? That's what I thought when I saw it on Craigslist, and drove 30 miles to get it.
Cons- The original black perforated vinyl has been sprayed painted, horribly. It stinks like ten old perfumed ladies playing cards in a rotten foam factory. The wheels are bent too bad to fix, one crushed so much it teeter-totters. Uh, tons of rust. And, oh yeah, the seat foam is rock hard, foam dust rains on the floor when you move it. Also it's missing 3/4 of it's bolts and screws.
Pros- look at that aluminum propeller base... and it matches my desk...

Ghost sign for the Leggat Fireproof Hotel, Butte, Montana. The Leggat Hotel is still around as low income housing. Ironically it was seriously damaged by a fire in February 2013 when a tenant inadvertently set her couch ablaze by smoking while using oxygen. Also seen in this picture is the Odd Fellows (IOOF) building.
The General Fireproofing Company opened in Youngstown, OH in 1902 and started as a maunfacturer of building materials. During WWII, they transitioned to manufacturing aircraft parts and after the war, back to furniture manufacturing. The furniture lines discontinued in the 1970's and GF went bankrupt in 1989.
Outstanding Characteristics of Fireproofing:
Fireproof Aluminium Composite Panel fulfils the requirement of fireproof due to the usage of modified polyvinyl plastic interlayer in between without toxicity and covering of unflammeable aluminum layer at two sides. The ability of fireproof is higher than index requirement, it is a safe fireproofing material and fully meets the fireproofing requirement specified in building code.

I ignored the Fireproof Storage sign because it's already been photographed better than I could ever do.

This safe is great for small businesses. There is an internal locking drawer, an open slide out drawer, a small shelf, a letter size hanging file folder and a key storage area. There are multiple versions of this safe, this is the better one with a 2-hour fire rating (vs 1 hour standard) and is certified to protect digital media during a fire (ie: important company file backups! video tapes, cd-roms, dvds, etc...)

"7-sty fireproof parish house, 47×100"
One of my all-time favorite buildings in Washington, D.C. Originally built between 1883 and 1887 to serve as a fireproof facility to house the burgeoning Pension Bureau after the Civil War, the building was both innovative and controversial. Critics called it an ugly red barn, while supporters pointed out its unique design features including large open interior space with extensive use of natural light, and improved heating and ventilation systems. The building, threatened several times over the years with demolition, now houses the National Building Museum. I have a personal connection with the building's history as well; my great great grandfather (a Civil War veteran) was one of the emplyees who worked for the Pension Bureau when the building first opened. Later my great great grandmother and, still later, my great grandmother also worked here for a while. (See also my article on Civil War Pensions in the December 2002 issue of Civil War Times magazine for more about the history of the Pension Bureau.)

These were wooden doors when the apartment was being previewed. After we signed the lease, it turned out the doors were covered - sloppily, too! - with 2mm steel to make them fireproof. WHY didn't they do it on the outside?! Sigh...
The fire-proof 'strong room' at the former Land Titles Office building in Queen Street, Melbourne. Constructed in 1874-1879, this building has not been used for decades. The complex is now owned by the Victoria University of Technology.
Some of the features include slate shelving and fireproof flooring.

Mary's Fireproof Hotel
Construction of the "fire proof" hotel began in 1922 by the House of David colony. The building is empty, abandoned, and for sale.
From this picture the appearance looks like a dull gray. Up close the surface sparkles in the sun. The special bricks used in the walls were cast of "Hematite," a special form of concrete made of 17 different minerals.

Vanderbilt insisted that The Breakers be made as fireproof as possible. Steel trusses support the masonry and exterior Indiana limestone blocks. The finished floors are of marble, tile, terrazzo, and mosaic.
--------------------------------
The home was constructed between 1893 and 1895 at a cost of more than $12 million (approximately $310 million in today's dollars).
It is the most-visited attraction in Rhode Island with approximately 300,000 visitors annually.
The Breakers is the grandest of Newport's summer "cottages" and a symbol of the Vanderbilt family's social and financial preeminence in turn of the century America.
In 1893, Vanderbilt commissioned architect Richard Morris Hunt to design the villa. Hunt directed an international team of craftsmen and artisans to create a 70 room Italian Renaissance- style palazzo inspired by the 16th century palaces of Genoa and Turin. Allard and Sons of Paris assisted Hunt with furnishings and fixtures, Austro-American sculptor Karl Bitter designed relief sculpture, and Boston architect Ogden Codman decorated the family quarters.
The Vanderbilts had seven children. Their youngest daughter, Gladys, who married Count Laszlo Szechenyi of Hungary, inherited the house on her mother's death in 1934. An ardent supporter of The Preservation Society of Newport County, she opened The Breakers in 1948 to raise funds for the Society. In 1972, the Preservation Society purchased the house from her heirs. Today, the house is designated a National Historic Landmark.
To this day members of the Szechenyi family use the third floor as a private residence - which is not open to the public.
