Characteristics of Fireproof Houses
The earthquake and firestorm that happened in 1906 in San Francisco inspired Frank Lloyd Wright to write an article titled “A Fireproof House for $5,000� published in Ladies Home Journal (LHJ) in April 1907. The article showed the sketches and floor plans which were designed specifically for the LHJ. Little wonder that journal became the first magazine to have a subscriber base of one million persons globally.
