Description
The intestate, Leo Pickford, was killed by falling down a flight of unlighted basement stairs, in the night-time. The defendant is the owner of the premises, consisting of a block situated on the southerly side of Main street in Berlin. The upper stories are used as a hotel or lodging house, known as the "Commercial House." The entrance door to the stairway leading thereto and one leading downstairs to a basement are side by side. The door leading upstairs is set back from the street line thirty-six inches and that leading to the basement twenty-nine inches. The vestibules are separated by a partition, are on a common level, and are reached by a step set flush to the street line and running across the entire entrance. The doors are alike in design and construction. Over the upstairs entrance and ten or twelve feet above the sidewalk there was a transparent sign, projecting over a part of the sidewalk, and lettered "Commercial House " on either side.
