Noncombustible materials cost much more than ordinary ones and, therefore, the vast majority of owners declined to use them. Thus, inventors devised materials and systems that would offer pro- tection and be more affordable than fireproof construction. They reasoned that if metal could be protected by tile blocks, so, too, could wood, thereby making a fire- resisting building at a lower cost. A system was invented involving masonry tiles that covered the underside of floor and roof frames to create a barrier against fire. These tiles, flat but often hollow, were made of clay or concrete. And like the hollow blocks used with structural metal in fireproof buildings, the tile- protected wood systems came on the market in the 1870s. Because the lat- ter buildings had wooden structures, Advertisement, Inland Architect, May 1885, for the Midwest’s first and leading manufacturer of hollow structural blocks.

One solution was to limit building height, and many cities took this ap- proach. But another was to require that tall buildings be fireproof. In the mid- 1880s, Chicago, along with Boston and New York, enacted rules Example of a semi- fireproof system for pro- mandating fireproof construction for tecting wood floors: flat clay tiles, suspended from metal hangers, create a barrier against certain kinds of buildings, notably fire.
