Steampunk past will be reborn --

You have GOT to go look at this building, sitting like Sleeping Beauty a block from NYC City Hall, hidden for decades. It was one of the "nonburnable" buildings, built of wrought iron, brick, tile -- also an early elevator user, 1882. And the atrium!

The dragons. THE DRAGONS! I **MUST** have copies of the dragons to use as book brackets! I'm sending Design Toscano over here!

UPDATE: Here are the dragons --

Apparently the photographer had to take down the pics. Thanks to sheilagh for this info -- she sent another link, but I didn't want to overwhelm that server, so I deleted the post. (It is early and I am spacey, so I trust I did that right...) Since his blog is cool, I'll leave up his address -- I hope these pics are still findable on Wayback or something, because I was thinking about using it in a short story! The place was titled "The Abandoned Palace on Beekman Street, NYC, NY".
