Cast iron
The original shot.Cast iron fronted buildings were constructed by machine made,and mass-made and mass-produced interchangeable parts that were simply bolted to the façades,and that allowed for exuberant designs and many different architectural styles that were mimicked like neo-classical and Romanesque.This kind of manufacturing was introduced in the Industrial Revolution (around 1790 and into the 1850's).Steel manufacturing had not yet been invented,but came later in the Second Industrial Revolution.I don't know the architectural style or the former names of the buildings shown here,but from top to bottom the intricate ornamentation on them look pretty amazing!The greenish building on the right is a retail store telling from the banner hanging on it.Some of the old commercial buildings in Manhattan's SoHo district were originally retail stores anyway,so the newer buildings like these are just keeping with tradition.Hope you like it.Have a great week ahead. pocket.co/soHUts
