" Brian here we have an opportunity to talk about. The turn of the century the turn of the nineteenth to the twentieth century architecturally what are some of the basics that happen. A lot of the technology remain traditional but there are several important new elements out of the nineteenth century one of them being cast iron. Catalog store fronts being opened up in the larger display windows larger isn't right yep and also no construction can there was a lot of credit everything. We can put on structures and -- spend the billions -- traditional technology of wood and masonry. And yet you also have plate glass right demands for the first time. In the last 45 years of nineteen hundred's they're making huge plate glass legends that -- journey to be windows -- now the buildings that we're looking at across the street. Probably date from that last quarter century right that's Milosevic the mid 1880s. The various rooms that are. What do we know about them. But they're built for one developer and it's not quite clear but I suspect they were built for different tenants. There's slight distinction our discussion between the three yeah you can see the storefront in the basement sinks are for runs continuously across and you got the traditional red brick its New England and you've got a lot of interest things don't work here in the rough stone. On the cinder block known as the -- building. What would you call that. -- part of a rock face. Randomized it's probably won't -- brownstone yeah and and -- had events in order with a lot of brownstones used meeting fifties installed fell apart right and you can see carried out from the top of the building the carved -- the -- sure cornice above. And then the ground level buildings is what's exciting is today they've been revitalized as restaurants and the like but originally there -- the office visits for these warehouses. But their mix that you can see they're all about a half level above street level so you can go down a half level prisoner for utilities and storage of support. At street level there's display windows for display rooms yeah and the second floor front develop new office space. Now the interesting thing about the leather district is that in the last twenty years many of these sides have become commercial -- that that the restaurants base of the ground level but Bob you've got artist's lofts and you've got residential space and back. Look at how it's bonded by TV dishes are now back when things -- district wasn't some of these buildings that the district became residential -- dominant officers were going there right. Now behind you there's fantastic entrances again and the cast and indeed yeah all right. Cluster of culture is based on medieval. Idea and adapted to cast iron. We'll modern detailed declaration stating that it stuck in there very nice and of course granite at the bottom -- you -- throughout the district look at the building on the corner there now the buff colored went. What style would you call that. -- class and generally is a renaissance revival could use a lot of class well respond renaissance that it combines an American life. The design -- for a Peabody and Stearns the world Wall Street firm in the united not to get in the last century. Now let's go and talk about the facade of the building we're getting involved with the -- All right now this is the building that we aren't going to be building out one of the interior -- there's a total of 32 in there what can you tell us about the front facade of this building."

" What does that I think that's the last gasp of romanesque revival to mix of several different styles yet. They've been archived in the way they are they're -- as the first formal decorative panels between the purchase a single -- renaissance in Spirit. When you look at the cornice up above that horrible but aren't bad for the windows that it is very much medieval detail at this sand castle's turrets throughout Europe the people will be. Because it had been salinity that they're building."

" It's interest because it's the end of the nineteenth century and it's really as you said the last gas both of a lot of this detailing. And today in the early years of the new century well we'll see is a lot of glass a lot of rectal Linear stopped when. Dad Brian thanks a lot thank you."
