Height of Buildings Act of 1910
The Height of Buildings Act of 1910 was an Act of Congress passed by the 61st United States Congress on June 1, 1910 to limit the height of buildings in Washington, D.C.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Primary Acts passed by U.S. Congress )〕 The original act was passed on March 1, 1899 when the 55th United States Congress approved the Height of Buildings Act of 1899.〔"Fiscal Relation of the District of Columbia," from "Senate Documents - Volume 5" for the 64th Congress, pg. 863, published by GPO, 1916 (https://books.google.com/books?id=2q8qAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA863&lpg=PA863&dq=1899+%22Act+to+regulate+the+height+of+buildings+in+the+District+of+Columbia%22&source=bl&ots=jpSP9wRVH2&sig=oZxxJCRd9xE1WKhAHeqT1vYeWI0&hl=en&ei=lq1YS4mDM47KsQOF5PjFBw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=5&ved=0CBMQ6AEwBA#v=onepage&q=1899%20%22Act%20to%20regulate%20the%20height%20of%20buildings%20in%20the%20District%20of%20Columbia%22&f=false)〕 The original act restricted the heights of any type of building in the United States capital city of Washington, D.C., to be no higher than 110 feet. In 1910, the 61st United States Congress enacted a new height restriction law limiting building heights to 130 feet, or the width of the right-of-way of the street or avenue on which a building fronts, whichever is shorter. That is the main law presented by this act.
==Background==
In response to the construction of the 164-foot (50-meter) Cairo Hotel in 1894, D.C. Commissioners issued height regulations for buildings in D.C., limiting their height to for residential and for business, or to the width of the street in front, whatever was smaller.〔http://www.h-net.org/~dclist/building_height〕 The original Height of Buildings Act, passed by Congress in 1899, removed the front street restriction, but reaffirmed limiting buildings to on residential streets and on business streets. It also made an exception for buildings on business streets wide, which were permitted to be tall.〔
The 1899 act was amended in 1910 to add the restriction that the height of any building would be limited to the width of the adjacent street plus up to a maximum of on residential streets, on commercial streets, and on a small portion of Pennsylvania Avenue; thus, a building facing a -wide commercial street could be tall.
