A prefabricated, totally self-supporting metal exterior stairway, for use in connection with a two-story building, is built upon a rectangular load-distributing, ground-bearing frame. Two opposed runs of steps are provided. One run leads from grade to a landing, supported on a rigid box-like support, the loads from which are posted to the ground-bearing frame. The other run leads from the landing to the second floor level. Newel posts link the steps to the ground-bearing frame and internal rigidity is provided by triangulation of members. Treads are of a type which permits field installation of a permanent tread surface.
