U n ited States B u rea u o f Labor Statistics
Residential and Nonresidential Construction and
Demolition, East N orth Central Cities, 1 9 3 9 1
The Bureau of Labor Statistics has secured summary figures on
building construction in the principal cities of the country annually
since 1921 and monthly since September 1929. These figures are
published in the monthly report entitled “ Building Construction” and
in annual bulletins. In response to the demand for more detailed
information on building construction than that available from the
monthly summary figures, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, in coopera
tion with the W ork Projects Administration, made an intensive sur
vey of building-permit data for the period since 1929 in cities with a
population of 10,000 and over. This bulletin, covering East North
Central cities with a population of 25,000 and over for the year 1939,
is 1 of a series for each of the 9 geographic divisions of the United
States. The years 1929 to 1935 and 1936 to 1938 are covered in
earlier bulletins.2
Summary
In 95 East North Central cities with a population of 25,000 and
over,3 building permits were issued in 1939 for new privately financed
structures containing 30,451 family-dwelling units, nearly one-half
more than provided in 1938. Furthermore, 6,686 dwelling units
were provided by federally financed construction— 6,683 in projects
of the United States Housing Authority and 3 to house workers at
a Federal institution. In 1938 only 10 units of Federal construction
were authorized. In addition to the new dwellings, 3,166 living

director of the survey. Tabulation of data under the supervision of Joseph H. Feingold, regional supervisor,
region I.
2 Such discrepancies as appear between the figures in this bulletin and those presented in monthly reports
previously released b> the Bureau of Labor Statistics arise from varying causes. In some cases early records
were incomplete at the time the present survey was made. In other cases differences result from the fact
that more accurate interpretation was possible on the basis of the detailed information collected by the agents
of the Building Permit Survey. In some instances buildings are not erected or demolished after the permit
is issued. The Bureau makes no attempt to collect such information in order to adjust the figures.
3 The U. S. Census of Population for 1930 was used to determine the size of the cities. In 1930 the East
North Central Division had 97 cities with a population of 25,000 or more. Galesburg, 111., and La Crosse,
Wis., are not included in the bulletin because complete data are not available.

quarters were made available through additions and alterations in 85
of the cities. Relatively few units were demolished.
The privately financed residential units for which permits were
issued in 1939 were primarily of the single-family type of structure.
Frame was used more often than other kinds of exterior material, but
in several cities brick or brick veneer predominated. Valuations of
more than one-half of the units ranged from $3,500 to $5,500. The
5-room unit was the most popular size for living quarters.
In federally financed residential construction the single-family
attached house predominated, and brick was the most important type
of exterior material. A bout one-half of the units contained 5 rooms.
Nonhousekeeping residential construction, from point of dollar vol
ume, was 15 percent lower in 1939 than it was in 1938. Dormitories
accounted for the bulk of the $4,351,000 reported for this type of
construction in 1939.
The valuation for nonresidential construction increased from
$82,639,000 in 1938 to $106,792,000 in 1939. Schools, public works
and utilities, and stores and other mercantile buildings were the most
important types of structure in 1939.
In addition to permits issued for private construction, the tables
include the value of contracts awarded for Federal, State, and munic
ipal buildings in the cities covered by this report. The data con
cerning Federal and State buildings are collected by the Bureau from
the various Federal and State agencies which have the power to award
contracts for building construction.

Permits were issued in 1939 for the erection of privately financed
residential buildings containing a total of 30,451 family-dwelling units
in the 95 East N orth Central Cities covered by this report, as compared
with 20,552 in 1938. This increase of 48 percent was shared by
all of the States, but the Wisconsin communities showed the largest
gain (72 percent). Residential construction in Madison and M il
waukee accounted for much of this gain in housing.
Detroit, the second among cities covered by this report in respect
to population, was first from the standpoint of number of new resi
dential facilities reported in 1939; the 8,992 privately financed dwelling
units accounted for three-tenths of the total number of units for the
95 East North Central Cities. Dearborn, a suburb of Detroit, with
1,340 new units, had a much larger proportion of new dwellings in
relation to its size. On the other hand, the 2 cities of Hamtramck
and Highland Park, which are completely surrounded by Detroit, had
only 13 and 6 new units, respectively.

Permits were issued for 3,127 family-dwelling units in Chicago and
for more than a thousand in each of the following cities: Indianapolis,
Cincinnati, Cleveland, and Columbus. Among the other cities the
number of new dwelling facilities ranged from 945 in Milwaukee to
5 in East Cleveland.
In addition to the privately financed dwelling units, United States
Housing Authority projects provided low-rent housing facilities for
6,683 families in 11 of the cities, and 3 dwellings in connection with a
Veterans’ Facility were reported in Dearborn.
It is impossible to ascertain the exact increase in housing in the
East North Central cities during 1939 as data concerning additions
and alterations to existing structures and demolitions are not com
plete for the 95 communities. According to permits issued, however,
a net increase of 3,166 units was provided by conversion in 85 of the
cities, including 741 units in Detroit and 336 in Milwaukee.
Demolition permits were not required in 23 of the cities covered
by this report, and data were not available in 13 others.
Table 1 shows the number of family-dwelling units provided in new
buildings, units resulting from additions and alterations to existing
structures, and units demolished in 1939 compared with similar data
for 1938.

1 Permits were not issued for demolitions in connection with Federal housing projects with the exception
of 161 of the 232 units demolished at the sites of Col. John Warner Homes and Harrison Homes at Peoria;
140 units at the site of Muncyana Homes at Muncy; 238 of the 264 units at the site of Valleyview Homes
in Cleveland; and 379 units at the site of Poindexter Village in Columbus. The sites of Gateway Gardens
at Kokomo; Parkside Addition, Part I, at Detroit; and Woodhill Homes at Cleveland were virtually vacant
land; therefore no demolitions were necessary. The site of Laurel Homes Addition at Cincinnati was also
vacant at the time of construction, but the land had been cleared in 1936 in connection with the original
project, Laurel Homes.

BUILDING PERMIT SURVEY, 193 9
Privately Financed Residential Construction
T y p e o f S tru ctu re
The single-family dwelling was by far the predominant type of
structure for which permits were issued in the East North Central
cities. Of the 30,451 new privately financed family-dwelling units
provided in 1939, 85 percent were single-family houses; 9 percent were
in apartment buildings housing 5 or more families; and 4 percent were
in 2-family, 2-decker structures. This distribution is similar to that
for 1938, although in cities in Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio the propor
tion of single-family houses was slightly higher in 1939. In Wisconsin
and Michigan, however, relatively fewer single-family dwellings were
reported in 1939 and more units in 2-family, and 5-or-more-family
structures. Table 2 shows the distribution of units for which permits
were issued in 1939 in the various types of structures by city.
The predominance of single-family houses was most marked in the
Michigan and Indiana cities, where approximately nine-tenths of all
housekeeping facilities provided in 1939 were of this type. About
four-fifths of the units in cities in Illinois and Ohio were single-family
dwellings, and slightly more than seven-tenths in the Wisconsin
municipalities. The single-family dwelling was authorized to the
exclusion of all other types in 27 of the 95 cities, and was the most
popular type of dwelling in all but 1 city in the region. In Madison,
Wis., 39 percent of the units were in buildings housing 5 or more
families, while 36 percent were single-family houses.

E x te r io r C o n stru c tio n M aterial
Surface materials specified for the new dwellings authorized in
1939 were largely confined to three types— frame, brick, and brick
veneer. Of the 30,050 dwelling units for which the type of exterior
material was specified, 41 percent were in frame buildings, 33 per
cent in brick-veneer structures, and 21 percent in solid-brick build
ings. The exterior material varied with the different types of struc-
Re s id e n t ia l c o n str u ctio n
9
tures as shown in table 3. Forty-seven percent of the single-family
houses were surfaced with frame, but only 23 percent of the units in
2-family structures and 3 percent of the dwelling units in multifamily
buildings were surfaced with this material. Brick veneer was used
more often than any other material on 2-family buildings and ac
counted for 38 percent of the units in this type of structure. In
multifamily buildings brick was utilized extensively. Eighty percent
of the dwelling units in structures housing 3 or more families were of
brick. The only other material accounting for more than 3 percent
of the units in multifamily buildings was reinforced concrete with
brick facing. In Detroit 178 units, and in Milwaukee 55 units, were
in apartment buildings of this material.
Data for Akron are not included in the above figures as the building
code for the city of Akron provides for special classifications of con
struction based on the structural material used rather than on exterior
construction material as is usual in most cities covered by the survey.
The following material classifications are used:
Composite construction.— Composite is the ordinary system of con
struction in which timber and iron, or steel structural parts are not
protected with fire-resisting covering, and in which walls are of mason
ry, and the roof covering of incombustible material.
Fire resisting construction.— Fire resisting construction shall apply
to all buildings in which all parts that carry weights or resist strains,
also all existing walls and all interior walls, all interior partitions, and
all stairs and elevator enclosures, are made entirely of incombustible
material. Reinforced concrete shall be considered as “ fire resisting
construction.”
Frame construction.— The term “ frame construction” means a sys
tem of construction in which the enclosing walls and the interior
structural parts are of combustible material— these frame buildings
may be veneered with brick, stone, terra cotta, or metal.
M ill construction.—Mill construction shall be applied to all build
ings in which all the wooden posts, props, caps, girders, beams, or
joists carrying a floor or a roof shall be of solid pieces.
Slow burning construction.— Incombustible material shall be used to
cover and protect all wooden beams, roof timbers, floor timbers, and
other exposed surfaces including columns, joists, and studs— no
wooden beams, girders, or trusses should be used to carry masonry
walls.
Frame predominated as surface material in Indiana, Wisconsin, and
Ohio cities, and was specified for buildings containing 66 percent,
62 percent, and 54 percent, respectively, of the new units for which
data were available in these cities. In the Illinois cities, where only
27 percent of the units were in frame buildings, 64 percent were in
brick structures. This large proportion of units in brick buildings
10
BUILDING PERMIT SURVEY,
19 3 9
was influenced by data for Chicago, where 3,004 of the 3,127 units
(96 percent) were in brick buildings. In all Illinois cities, excluding
Chicago, frame buildings accounted for 65 percent of the units, and
brick for only 13 percent. In the Michigan cities, 64 percent of the
new dwelling units were authorized in buildings of brick veneer,
29 percent frame, and 5 percent brick. In Detroit and Dearborn,
brick veneer was used extensively. Approximately three-fourths of
the 8,992 dwelling units in Detroit and nearly three-fifths of the
1,340 units in Dearborn were in brick-veneer structures.

Permit Valuations
Permit valuations reported for the 30,451 units in 1939 indicated
that new residential construction in the East North Central cities was
definitely in the medium-cost field. M ore than one-half of the new
dwelling units had valuations ranging from $3,500 to $5,500 per
unit. The accompanying chart shows, however, that permit valua
tions for dwellings to be erected in cities with populations of 100,000
and over were higher than those for dwellings in cities of 25,000 to
100,000 inhabitants. For example, the valuation stated most fre
quently on permits issued in the larger cities was between $5,000 and
$5,500. This reflected the fact that nearly three-tenths of the dwell
ing units in Detroit (the city with the largest total number of dwelling
units) fell within this $500 interval. Furthermore, this cost group
was the point of greatest concentration of units in three other large
cities— Dearborn, Cincinnati, and Cleveland.
In the smaller cities the most commonly reported permit valuation
was between $3,500 and $4,000. In several of these communities,
however, the majority of new homes were higher priced. In Oak Park
the new dwelling units ranged from $5,500 to $20,000 per unit; in
Evanston 97 percent and in Berwyn 92 percent of the units had valua
tions of $5,500 or more. These cities are all residential communities

near Chicago, and Evanston is the seat of Northwestern University
and several other colleges. Likewise, approximately three-fourths of
the new dwelling units in Cleveland Heights, a suburb of Cleveland,
were to cost from $5,500 to $25,000 and over.
The smaller cities had a slightly larger proportion of units costing
$10,000 or more (3 percent) than the larger cities (2 percent) but,
conversely, 38 percent of the dwelling units in the smaller cities were
in the low-cost brackets of $500 to $3,500, whereas only 17 percent of
the units in cities of 100,000 population or over fell within these
limits.
The permit valuations are estimates of construction costs made by
prospective builders and do not include land and other costs.
Table 4 shows the distribution of the new family-dwelling units by
permit valuation per unit and type of structure for cities of 100,000
population and over, all for cities in the 25,000 to 100,000 population
group.

Although the single-family house showed a wide distribution
throughout all cost groups as indicated by table 5, 76 percent of the
units had valuations ranging from $3,000 to $6,500 per unit, and 43
percent of the single-family dwellings were concentrated in the rela
tively narrow range of $4,000 to $5,500. This $1,500 interval was
the point of greatest concentration in all but Columbus among the
cities providing more than 500 single-family dwellings. In Chicago,
Indianapolis, Dearborn, Detroit, Cincinnati, Cleveland, and M il
waukee, from one-third to nearly two-thirds of the single-family
dwellings were to cost from $4,000 to $5,500. In Columbus, however,
where one-third of the 1-family residences appeared within these
limits, approximately two-fifths were valued at $5,500 to $7,000.

Rooms per Dwelling U n it
Information concerning the number of rooms per dwelling unit was
available for 12,294 of the 15,300 family-dwelling units for which
permits were issued in 78 East North Central cities. Table 6 presents
the number of dwelling units with specified number of rooms, by type
of structure for the cities combined, for 15 cities with a population
of 100,000 and over, and for 63 cities with a population from 25,000
to 100,000.
Of the 12,294 units, 38 percent had 5 rooms; 25 percent contained
4 rooms; and 21 percent had 6 rooms. The size of the units, however,
varied with the type of structure. Five rooms were favored for single
family detached and attached houses and units in 2-family, 2-decker
structures, and the 4-room unit was specified more often than any
other size for 1- or 2-family structures with commercial space, 3- and
4-family buildings, and apartment houses without commercial space.
Approximately two-fifths of the 1-family, semidetached homes, and
units in 5-or-more-family structures with commercial space contained
3 rooms.

BUILDING PERMIT SURVEY, 1 9 3 9
There was a striking similarity in the number of rooms per dwelling
unit between the cities of 100,000 and over population and cities of
25,000 to 100,000 population. Although the larger cities had a
slightly larger proportion of 5-room units, but relatively fewer 4-room
or 6-room units than did the smaller cities, the variations were minor.

RESIDENTIAL CONSTRUCTION
Table 7 shows the number of single-family dwellings with specified
number of rooms in the 78 cities where room data were available.
Information which was collected for 9,872 of the 12,524 single-family
dwellings in these East North Central cities indicates that the 5-room
unit was the most popular size; 42 percent of these dwellings contained
5 rooms, 25 percent 6 rooms, and 22 percent 4 rooms. The 5-room
size was favored for 1-family dwellings in all of the States included in
this report, but Michigan cities had the highest proportion, 45 percent
of the total; at the other extreme, in Wisconsin cities 36 percent of
the units contained 5 rooms, while 30 percent had 4 rooms.

Demolitions
Table 8 shows units for which demolition permits were issued in
56 East North Central cities, by city and type of structure.
In cities where complete data were available approximately 1 dwell
ing unit, on the average, was razed by private wrecking operations
for every 9 new units provided by private construction. The number
of dwelling units demolished in individual cities ranged from about
1,065 in Chicago to 1 in Terre Haute, Kenosha, and Sheboygan. No
demolitions were reported during 1939 in M aywood, Akron, and
Norwood even though demolition permits were required in these
cities.

Housing Projects Financed From Federal Funds
In addition to the privately financed residential facilities provided
in 1939 in the East North Central cities, 6,683 units in 4,136 buildings
were authorized in projects of the United States Housing Authority.
Also, 3 brick dwellings of Federal construction were provided in
Dearborn at the Veterans’ Administration Facility. One of these
was an 8-room, single-family, detached house, while the others were
6-room semidetached homes.
As indicated by table 9, housing projects of the United States
Housing Authority were authorized in 11 cities and provided low-rent
housing facilities for 6,683 families. Projects in 6 Ohio cities
accounted for 3,154 units or nearly one-half of the total number of
units. Valley view Homes and W oodhill Homes provided a total of
1,150 units in Cleveland. Westlake, in Youngstown, was planned
for 618 Negro families and occupies a site which was formerly onethird slum. Ninety-three dwellings were demolished at the site;
almost three-fourths of these had been judged unfit for human habita
tion. In addition, 496 units were provided in 2 developments at
Toledo, 426 units at Columbus, 264 at Cincinnati, and 200 at Dayton.
Ida B. Wells Homes at Chicago was the largest single develop
ment, with 1,662 dwelling units. This project, the largest public
housing development planned for predominant Negro occupancy,
replaced a slum area with safe and sanitary dwellings for low-income
families. This development has brought economic advantages to the
community as well as social benefits, since many skilled, semiskilled,
and unskilled Negro workers in the community found work on the
project. One thousand five hundred and fifty units were demolished
at the site.
Two projects authorized in Peoria contained a total of 1,093 units.
Demolitions at the sites consisted of 232 dwellings.
Projects were reported in 2 Indiana cities. Gateway Gardens with
176 units at K okom o was built on virtually vacant land. Ten
dwellings of standard condition, however, were removed from the
site to be used as residences in new locations. The 278 units of
Muncyana Homes at Muncie replaced a one-time slum area in the
center of the city.
Brewster Addition and Parkside Addition with 320 units combined
were authorized in Detroit.
Nearly half of the new dwelling units in these projects were single
family attached houses. Slightly over one-fourth of the units were
in five-or-more-family structures without commercial space, while
the remainder were in two-family buildings. One-half of the units
had five rooms and one-fourth contained three rooms. Brick was
used as the exterior construction material for nearly all of the projects.

RESIDENTIAL CONSTRUCTION

Gateway Gardens at Kokom o and Muncyana at Muncie were both
built of concrete block; Parkside Addition at Detroit was constructed
of cinder block.
Administration and community buildings were the most important
type of nonresidential structures at the developments. The adminis
tration building at Charles F. Weiler Homes at Toledo was planned to
serve as a community building and has a recreation hall and a large
auditorium. Although in most cases data were not available con
cerning nonresidential structures demolished at the sites of the
projects, permits were issued for the razing of 15 such structures at
the site of Valley view project at Cleveland and 5 at the site of
Muncyana Homes at Muncie.
Nonhousekeeping Residential Construction
T y p e o f Stru ctu re and Perm it V alu ation s
Unlike other types of construction authorized in 1939 in the East
North Central cities nonhousekeeping residential construction was
less important than in 1938. Valuations in 1939 amounted to
$4,351,000 for 52 buildings as compared with $5,120,000 for 47 build
ings in 1938— a 15-percent decrease in dollar volume. Table 10
presents the number, type, and permit valuations of nonhousekeep
ing residential structures by city for 1939 and 1938.
Summer camps and cottages accounted for 54 percent of the total
number of structures reported in 1939, but for less than 1 percent of
the total valuation. From point of dollar volume, dormitories made
up the bulk of the nonhousekeeping residential construction, account
ing for $3,309,000 or more than three-fourths of the total valuation.
This high volume was largely the result of construction of dormitories
in two cities. This type of nonhousekeeping residential building
amounted to $1,458,000 in Chicago, and $1,359,000 in Ann Arbor.
Convents stood second among the types of structure from point of
dollar volume and represented 10 percent of the total, while associa
tion buildings accounted for 6 percent. Nurses’ homes, orphanages,
lodging houses, and hotels accounted for the remainder of nonhouse
keeping residential construction authorized in 1939.
Illinois cities stood first among municipalities in the East North
Central States in respect to dollar volume, and were the only group of
cities to show an increase in total volume in 1939 over 1938. The
valuation of $1,733,000 in Chicago contributed to the high construc
tion expenditures in this State. Total valuations for cities in the
other States ranged from $1,727,000 in Michigan to $188,000 in Ohio.
No permits were issued in 1939 for nonhousekeeping residential
structures for 17 cities in Illinois, 12 in Indiana, 13 in Michigan, 23
in Ohio, and 10 in Wisconsin.

Demolition of nonhousekeeping residential structures occurred in
only 13 of the East North Central cities in 1939 (see table 11). N ot
more than 4 such structures were demolished in any 1 city. The
21 nonhousekeeping buildings razed included 10 lodging houses and
9 hotels.

Type of Structure and Permit Valuations
The total valuation of nonresidential construction in the 95 East
North Central cities was $106,792,000 in 1939 as compared with
$82,639,000 in 1938. Substantial increases were indicated in the
volume of schools, public works and utilities, and stores and other
mercantile buildings— the most important types of construction in
1939. M any of the school and public works and utility structures
were financed partially by Public Works Administration funds. On
the other hand buildings classified as factories, bakeries, ice plants,
laundries, and other workshops, which were second only to schools in
1938, decreased from $13,696,000 to $9,451,000 in 1939, when they
ranked fourth as to type of structure. Table 12 shows the com
parison of totals for nonresidential construction for the 2 years, 1938
and 1939, by city and type of structure.
Nonresidential construction in Chicago constituted approximately
one-fifth of the total volume of the 95 cities in 1939. Authorization
was granted for 1,168 structures in Chicago valued at $22,945,000—
a 56-percent increase in volume over 1938. Public works and utilities

with valuations of $5,645,000 constituted one-fourth of the total in
1939. Included in this category was a structure for the waterworks
valued at $3,617,000, partially financed by Public Works Administra
tion funds. School construction amounted to $5,180,000 or nearly a
fourth of the city’s total, while 208 stores and other mercantile build
ings had a total valuation of $4,369,000. Although Detroit experi
enced an 18-percent decrease in the valuation of nonresidential
construction in 1939 over the preceding year, this city was second
among the 95 communities with $10,395,000 reported for this type of
construction. Stores and other mercantile buildings represented
$3,715,000 or well over a third of the total. In Cleveland, third
among the cities with $9,372,000, schools were the most important
type of structure, (35 percent of the total) with valuations of $3,254,000. Public works and utility structures including 3 bridges with a
combined valuation of $2,289,000 accounted for 25 percent. Institu
tions were also of great importance in Cleveland and included 7 Feder
ally financed buildings at the veterans’ hospital valued at $1,217,000.
Other cities covered by this report having valuations of more than two
million dollars were Rockford, 111. ($2,412,0C0); East Chicago, Ind.
($2,214,000); Indianapolis, Ind. ($4,539,COO); Saginaw, Mich.
($2,009,000); Cincinnati, Ohio ($2,915,000); Columbus, Ohio ($2,071,000); Toledo, Ohio ($4,370,000); Youngstown, Ohio ($3,184,000); and
Milwaukee, Wis. ($2,947,000).
In the Illinois cities 3,538 nonresidential structures were authorized
in 1939 to cost $32,188,000 as compared with 3,006 buildings and
$22,370,000 in 1938. Schools accounted for one-fourth of the total
dollar volume in 1939, public works and utilities for 20 percent and
stores and other mercantile buildings for 17 percent. Rockford was
second only to Chicago among the Illinois cities with a volume of
$2,412,000; schools accounted for 96 percent of this total. Three
public buildings with valuations amounting to $1,084,000 constituted
64 percent of the $1,696,000 reported in Peoria.
Schools and public works and utilities were also the outstanding
types of construction in the Indiana cities, accounting for 26 percent
and 22 percent, respectively, of the total of $14,938,000. Buildings
classified as factories, bakeries, ice plants, laundries, and other work
shops, however, stood third as to dollar volume with $2,697,000, or
18 percent of the State’s total valuation. In East Chicago approxi
mately two-thirds of the volume of $2,214,000 was authorized for
buildings of this type. Amusement and recreation places, including 2
fair buildings valued at $992,000, accounted for 27 percent and schools
for 24 percent of the total of $4,539,000 in Indianapolis. In Ham
mond, public works and utility structures amounted to $1,019,000—
nearly two-thirds of the volume reported in this city.

BUILDING PERMIT SURVEY,
1939
The total valuation ($21,273,000) of nonresidential construction
in the Michigan cities in 1939 was 22 percent lower than in 1938,
largely because of decreases in factory construction. Well over a
fourth of the valuation in 1939 was accounted for by the construction
of stores and other mercantile buildings. Schools represented 14
percent, and institutions 11 percent of the total for the State. In
stitutions in Kalamazoo alone amounted to $1,160,000 or 69 percent
of the valuation of the city, and schools comprised 56 percent of
the total $2,009,000 in Saginaw.
The valuation of $30,976,000 in 1939 in the Ohio cities was more
than twice the valuation in 1938. M uch of this increase was attrib
utable to the increase in school construction, but valuations for
public works and utilities and stores and other mercantile buildings
also were substantially higher in 1939. Cleveland had the highest
volume of schools, but $2,364,000 was authorized for schools in
Toledo. This amount, which constituted 54 percent of the total
for Toledo, included $1,217,000 for a public library. Schools formed
the bulk of nonresidential construction in Mansfield, Massillon,
Newark, and Steubenville, and accounted for about 30 percent of
the valuation in Youngstown. In Lorain two bridges valued at
$1,831,000 and classified as public works and utilities accounted for
95 percent of the valuation.
Wisconsin cities showed only a slight decrease in 1939 over the
preceding year. Schools with a total valuation of $1,837,000 repre
sented one-fourth of the total. A large proportion of this volume
was reported in Madison where 5 buildings were to cost $1,073,000.
In Milwaukee, first among the Wisconsin cities with a total valuation
of $2,947,000, public works and utilities and stores and other mer
cantile buildings were the predominant types of structure.

Demolitions
Information concerning the demolitions of nonresidential structures
was available for%
59 of the East North Central cities, and indicated the
razing of 1,724 structures. The largest number of demolitions were
reported in Detroit (209), Milwaukee (174), Cincinnati (143), Cleve
land (137), and Saginaw (100). On the other hand, only 1 or 2
structures were demolished in each of the cities of Cicero, Maywood,
Oak Park, Dearborn, Massillon, and Eau Claire.
Buildings of 3 types— stores and other mercantile buildings, private
detached garages, and stables and barns— each accounted for approx
imately one-fifth of the structures for which demolition permits were
issued.
In table 13 detailed information is presented concerning the number
of nonresidential structures, by type of structure and city, for which
demolition permits were issued in 1939.
