Mike Lamb Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Not a good picture but what do you call these wells in the middle of buildings that only deliver light to windows? There's no door entry anywhere inside it. Click to Enlarge 24.06 KB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Moore Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 I'd go with "light shaft". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurt Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Most, or all, of them were originally ventilation shafts, w/a secondary purpose of light entry. They were required by the building codes of the time to deliver fresh air to the interior of apartment buildings. At least, that's the folklore I heard......
