Here's what 42nd Street and Seventh Avenue in Manhattan looks like these
days. (Click
here if you forgot what it used to look
like--what a difference.) The Architecturologists get the good stuff
before
it
disappears.
Check out the intricate details in this
fretwork. The Architecturologists removed all of this and the staircase from a
Harlem brownstone.
This
mantel
comes
from the
same
brownstone
as the
fretwork--incredible
woodwork
there.
It's 8
ft. tall
and 6
ft. wide
solid
oak.
(Pay no
attention
to the
man
behind
the
curtain.)
All twelve of these marble columns and capitals from a Manhattan
synagogue... oops, sold already! Well, the best stuff goes quick.
What Is It? Dept.: Um, it's a doggy doorbell pull. Pull the ring, it rings the bell. Finely detailed bronze; probably from around
1890-1900
If you know what this thing did,
write us. This Western Union "call
box" came from a building on 42nd & Lexington Ave. in New York, probably from
around 1910
