Mike Lamb 59 Posted October 16, 2017 Report Share Posted October 16, 2017 What do you call these air wells in the middle of buildings which have no access other than windows? I'm pretty sure I asked this before but cannot remember the answer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Marc 83 Posted October 16, 2017 Report Share Posted October 16, 2017 I've known it to be called 'light well'. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bill Kibbel 77 Posted October 16, 2017 Report Share Posted October 16, 2017 Light well is the recent term. When the Tenement House Act was enacted - all windows had to open to plain air - it was called an air shaft (where all the tenants dumped trash and emptied chamber pots).
