Baltimore's Cast-Iron Buildings and Architectural Ironwork: By the Tutorial System Developed at Harvard

Baltimore's Cast-Iron Buildings, back in print after an absence of several years, is a celebration of a unique aspect of Baltimore's architectural and industrial history. The authors examine cast-iron buildings in an integrated way to show how the material was fabricated and the buildings erected. They also explore the cast and wrought ironwork used for gates, fences, railings, and ornaments. The heavily illustrated work includes ironwork catalogs from the mid-1800s.
