Interesting question. Didn't know fire-retardant treatment of wood was available as far back as the 1920's; I had assumed it was a more recent PITA requirement of the NYC Bldg Code.  Will have to see whether any of my ancient tomes have anything on it, and hope in the meantime that somebody else has this at the tips of their fingers.
