Its automatic sprinklers were supplied with water by two steel pressure tanks of 9,000 US gallons (34,000 L; 7,500 imp gal) capacity each, located in a fireproof house on the roof.

They were connected together, with gate and check valves at each, and discharge through a dead riser running down through the building to the basement.

The ornamental iron partitions glazed with wire mesh glass that separated each floor from the main stairway were furnished by the Winslow Brothers' Company.

"Richardson" seamless kalamein fire doors protected the openings on the passenger elevator shaft.

The entire steel frame was fireproofed with terra cotta hollow tile furnished by Henry Maurer & Son, New York City.
