<br />Mr. George A. Robertson,
<br />South Bend , Ind .
<br />Dear Sir
<br />Answering yours of Dec. llth.. relative to fire damage. on the Auditorium Theatre
<br />Building.
<br />As per your request, I made a thorough inspection of this building and find
<br />that while fire was- -tremely hot, the damage was almost entirely to the contents- of the
<br />building; furniture, seats, carpet's, draperies, etc., and some of ,the interior wood worm
<br />such as window and door casings, balcony and gallery railings and boxes, and a very
<br />small section 'of the main floor.
<br />There is no damage whatever to the general construction Walls were not effected
<br />at all. In fact there is no damage that in any way effects the strength of the building -
<br />with the exception of a new floor joist and they are only slightly burned on one edgge
<br />and can be very easily re -placed. Structural and supporting members are in no way effeeted
<br />Part of the finish coat of plasterly is slightly damaged from excessive heat and water.`
<br />The general construction o this building is, concrete, foundation, heavy
<br />.masonry brick walls, cast iron columns, and steel girders supporting -the wood floor con-
<br />struction, of 3X14 joist. -Main roof and ceilings are supported on heavy steel trusses
<br />spanning full width of Auditorium, supported on heavy steel columns built in masonry walls
<br />and resting on top of concrete foundation. Roof is covered with tar and gravel roofing.,'
<br />Interior.of.building is plastered on wire lath with asbestos fiber plaster. The building-.r
<br />is equipped with a very complete sprinkler system, in basement, and store rooms on first
<br />floor, ws well as in corridors and passage ways. These sprin*lers are exposes under the
<br />ceilings. Throughout the Auditorium there is a complete sprinkler system in the space`
<br />between the main floor and the store room ceilings, also in the space between the Audi-,
<br />torium ceiling and roof.
<br />While the fire in this building was probably the hotest that has ever taken:
<br />place in a buolding in South Bend but did,no damage to,the construction of the buildingt.
<br />is due to good design and construction,`Asbestos fibered fireproof plastering and the
<br />complete system.
<br />Yours very truly,
<br />H. G. CHRISTMAN CO.
