I know my question is somewhat unrelated to skyscrapers, but I can't seem to find any resources about the architecture of tenement apartment buildings in the first half of the 20th century. I was also wondering when they stopped constructing apartments with exterior fire escape stairways?

  Good question -- next question, please.
  I can pitifully only direct to resources such as The Living City, The Impact of the IRT, 1929 Multiple Dwelling Law. ED.
