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.

Nice big corner lot on Arden Park in Detroit, but in foreclusure and a bit lost these days.

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.

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.

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...

Nice big corner lot on Arden Park in Detroit, but in foreclusure and a bit lost these days.
This old warehouse is being renovated into a mixed-use building with retail and apartments. It is also getting a large addition on the side.
If you follow the Glimmerglass blog you saw our article about the rye that was collected for the set of "The Tender Land." This photo is a continuation of that story. Here rye was meticulously hung and fireproofed to ensure the safety of the Alice Busch Opera Theater and those inside it.

Tape off any exposed screw threads and the center shaft and spray paint with Rustoleum Industrial Gray.
(I know, ideally this should be bead blasted then sprayed in a booth, but this is a sort of rust triage treatment until I get that setup in the garage.)

Used this 3M Foam adhesive to attach a square of 1inch thick high density green foam to the seat.
Trim the edges flush to the seat with an electric knife. Because of the contours of the seat pan, I thought trying to cut it first then line it up would be a nightmare. This worked well, except the knife gets a bit bogged down by the glue.
These petrified logs definitely won't burn... and they're so heavy they won't be going anyplace, either.

Whatever you do now, take the time to consider whether it's your best option for providing you a flavorful mug of coffee. Because, you may already know, a great coffee mug starts off with great coffee beans. And coffee beans are just great so long as they're fresh. " Food can be packaged in sterile, airtight containers. All foods eventually spoil if not preserved " Source: USDA.GOV What You Ought To Know About Airtight Coffee Container An Airtight Coffee Container isn't simply a box with cover. Modern systems work toward one very important target: maintaining your coffee beans as fresh as easy for so long as possible. You may think that You don't need a Airtight Coffee Container, since you may say, "It will come in a box. Why can't I simply leave it the original box?" Sure, your coffee isn't as expensive as an Italian sports vehicle, but it really isn't worthless. You've put in time locating the perfect coffee beans from your selected roaster. But once you open that covered bag, the beans start to lose their freshness and aromatics, which causes a substandard brew. Within an unsealed coffee container ( no, it is not sealed, no matter how hard you push the lid on ), the coffee beans face all the elements that ruin freshness. So each beans you brew, each coffee mug you sit to enjoy, it is very likely to be just a little less excellent than the previous. Why do I need an Airtight Coffee Container? Coffee Beans Enemies - Airtight Coffee Container Once it has been roasted, your coffee has four freshness killing enemies: air (specifically oxygen), heat, dampness, and light. Oxygen: This is actually the biggest reason behind stale container, partly because it's so hard to combat. Revealing your coffee beans to air can lead them to go stale in simply a few days. Warmth: Yes, warmth is requested roasting, and you will likely brew your coffee with warm water. However in between those times, you want to keep it in a very good environment. Not cool like the refrigerator, though. Moisture: A small amount of moisture can damage your coffee very quickly. Condensation on the frigid beans prematurely emits their oils. That is why you want to keep it from the fridge. Light: Specifically sunlight. Ultra violet rays can cause the beans to oxidize faster. Essentially the most damaging results happen straight after roasting, which explains why your roaster isn't shipping and delivery your beans in a bag or box. So for the freshest coffee beans, you want to avoid contact with these four enemies, which explains why you will need an Airtight Coffee Container.

I used lots of little sacrificial paper clips and pins to hold the edges of the fabric back.
Out in the garage (no pic) I put contact cement on both the metal and the fabric, and let it cure.
