Baltimore was an innovator in the development of cast-iron
architecture, but the city's heritage of buildings in this genre,
once numbering over a hundred, has dwindled to only a handful
today. The Baltimore region has also had a long tradition in iron
production, beginning with the colonial era and continuing through
the 1950s as Sparrows Point became the single largest steel complex
in the world.
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.
