Abstract: An integral metal structural post is provided for the erection of two pairs of interior walls. Each such pair of walls includes interior walls which are disposed at right angles to one another. The structural post includes a first elongate metal angle bar having an "L"-shaped cross-section, the two arms having a particularly recited structure, a second identical elongate metal angle bar, arranged in mirror-image relationship to the first elongate metal angle bar, and an elongate web interconnecting the two elongate metal angle bars in a particular manner. Because of the particulary recited structures of the arms of the elongate metal angle bars, an interior wallboard or interior sheathing is secured directly to respective ones of the four interior faces of the two elongate metal angle bars. When such securing is effected, two interior comers are created.
