Description
Long shadows fall from the iron fire escapes on this beautiful piece of architecture from 1926.
While the architecture is a beautiful example of mid-20's style, the iron fire escapes are also from the '20s. If maintained, then they can provide a safe egress in case of emergency. But studies have shown that many of the country's fire escapes are not. Chipped paint allows for rust to weaken the structure, century-old concrete that holds mounting bolts weakens, an so firefighters today have learned to be wary of these aging structures.
