I've always loved steel fences, windows, handrails, guards and the likes. The fascination stems from the way these ornament shapes are made - it's not a one-off proceess. Mold have to be manufactured or otherwise it's very time consuming. The two questions are: 1) if it was hand-made for this building: What great times those were when people actually considered it meaningful to deccorate buildings that way 2) if it was made using a mold, where might others be?

Beautiful pictures.
love this collection of windows!!! I've always wanted to document the varying details in buildings like this, so, super cool to me!
