Opinion

Per Curiam.

The addition of a basement story to a frame house, finished so far as to have received a family, which seems to have been the case here, is not an erection or a construction within the purview of the statute. Here the frame was lifted up in order to admit of the new story, which shows that it was not within the contemplation of the builder as a part of the original structure, but an addition to a house already occupied, and no part of its finishing.

Judgment reversed.
