Inspection reveals missed asbestos-containing spray-applied fireproofing remaining from incomplete abatement years prior. This fluffy, fibrous fireproofing material is a mixture of friable mineral wool, chrysotile asbestos, and binders.
Completed in 1826 this building was the first structure in the U.S. designed to be fireproof. Vital records were kept inside its thick inflammable walls to insure their survival in case of a fire. The South Carolina Historical Society is now housed here.
I wonder if this building still stands? I expect someone to tell me it burnt down tears ago.

The old Barr Hotel in Lima, Ohio was apparently fireproof. Not sure exactly how they tested that theory. The hotel was built in 1914 and is on the National Register of Historic Places.
The Douglas County Courthouse and Auditor's Office (Douglas County Museum) was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in March 1978.
The Douglas County Courthouse was built in 1927 from a design by Sioux Falls architect firm Perkins & McWayne. Contractors were Gray Construction Co. of Watertown. The Neoclassical Beaux Arts style courthouse is red-brown brick in Flemish bond with Bedford limestone trim. There are elaboration of engaged Composite columns, dentil and egg-and-dart molding, modillions at the cornice, and a cartouche. The interior had Tennesse Tavernelle marble, red oak trim, and a tile floor made by the American Encaustic Tile Company.
The smaller 1902 building held the auditor's office and clerk of courts, and was built to meet state requirements for holding certain records in a fireproof structure. It was designed by W.L. Dow & Sons and built by M.C. Momson of red pressed brick from the Twin Brick Company, with trim from the Hydraulic Pressed Brick Company of Omaha. It was later reused for a museum.

I watched Fireproof today. For those of you who have seen it, this picture makes a lot of sense.
For those who haven't, the salt and pepper shakers sympolize two people, different color and taste, but they are always together. They are partners that together make something better. Glue the two shakers together, and there is a bond. If someone or something tries to break the bond, one or both of them become broken or damaged, much like a suffering marriage.
The general "quote" of the movie was "Never leave your partner, especially in a fire". It fit well with the husband's job as a fireman as well as his suffering marriage that struggles to survive through a figurativ€e "fire".
Great movie. Very inspiring, and I'd recommend it to everyone.. yes.. everyone.
So go watch it, now.

Lots of rust, covered in a furry dust, uck.
The Fireproof Building, also known as County Records Building, is located at 100 Meeting St., Charleston, South Carolina. It was designed by Robert Mills and constructed by John G. Spindle. It was completed by 1827. At that time, it was the most completely fireproof building in America and it is believed to be the oldest fireproof building in America today
In 1915, Dr. Roy Lanterman commissioned architect A. L. Haley to design a fireproof bungalow of reinforced concrete for his family and the result was a unique architectural treasure.
The house was made up of reinforced concrete in part because of the high risk of fire danger from the native chaparral surrounding the property but also because Dr. Lanterman’s relief role after the 1906 San Francisco earthquake made him particularly fire-conscious.
There are many arts and crafts elements in the Lanterman house. It retains its exquisite original interiors and furnishings, including elaborate hand-painted wall and ceiling ornamentation.
The entire second floor is devoted to a grand ballroom, and the interior retains its original craftsman furnishings.

Not exactly sure how it could be advertised as "fireproof", other than being loaded with asbestos and perhaps an early form of fire sprinklers. I also love that "Allied Van Lines" sign underneath with the picture of the truck.
The upholstery clips and the edge things cleaned up with some Barkeepers Friend and an old nailbrush.
The metal part of the edge bumper has a curve to catch the tail ends of the piping, so the piping disappears between the screw and the metal edge.

The Masonic Temple (1921) in Danville is located at 105 S. Union Street in the Danville Historic District [Virginia Department of Historic Resources ID 108-0111-065]. It is also listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Danville prospered for many years as a tobacco and textile center.
The building designed by West Virginia architect Fred F. Farris, cost $550,000 to build in 1921. It is fire-proof and was Danville’s first skyscraper; the styling is eclectic. It has two 10-story blocks of concrete and steel with a face of glazed, white architectural terra-cotta. The basic shape is in the form of a “U”. At the center of the “U” is a Tudor arched screen, a sculpted eagle crowning the entrance. Gothic ornamentation decorates the metal awning below the arch. Elaborate relief work follows the curved of the arch and is continued on both sides of the lobby entrance. The lobby ceiling had been dropped, hiding a barrel-vaulted skylight; but it will eventually be restored to its former state. Some nice relief work is above the doors to the elevators, the original ones installed at the time of construction.
At the base of the building are bays with Tudor arches containing various shops. A reason the building is so tall was to accommodate offices for various professionals—insurance companies, utilities, lawyers, doctors, dentists, etc. The styling of most floors is utilitarian, windows being 3 over 3; on the 9th floor the windows are taller and 6 over 6. Windows on the 10th level have Tudor arches between ornamented capitals
I was unable to tour the interior, which apparently has some spectacular rooms. I was fortunate enough to meet a member of the owner’s family, who provided some details on the structure. I was in Danville around 9 in the morning when these photos were taken; the lighting was not the best, but I wasn’t about to let the opportunity pass.

Pin and sew together, wrong side out. Clip the inside corners of the turns. I ironed the seams, then topstitched the seams (i'll have to look up what that's called...)
The Fireproof Warehouse and Storage Company. A meaningless shot, really -- just had to have something other than Ben here, and I haven't been photographing much the last couple of days...
