Since many of you here are interested in home repair and buildings in general, I though you may be interested in this place. The front of the first floor is cast iron.
I'm very interested in this stuff. I've seen a lot of "cast iron buildings in SoHo in NYC, and it's good to see the range of them.
Thanks.
The northeast is a very interesting place to live. That's why I tried not to move too far away (Baltiomre.)
What is the street address? I looked through "New Haven, a Guide to Architecture & Urban Design" and could find no mention of cast iron. That book will give dates and some description of buildings in and around town. T

It might be "Imperial Granum Building, built 1877, designed by Rufus G. Russell. The great era of the cast-iron front largely passed New Haven by. This is the only known example today. Russell's drawing survives among his papers in the Historical Society."
