urban remains recently purchased several amazingly designed and finely cast neoclassical style oversized cast iron exterior facade corbels salvaged from the historically-important extant 14-story chicago and northwestern railroad office building located in downtown chicago.
the prairie school style commercial building was designed by the architectural firm of frost and granger in 1904. the partnership, consisting of charles sumner frost (1856–1931) and alfred hoyt granger, were known for their designs of train stations and terminals, including the now-demolished chicago and north western terminal in chicago.
each remarkable two-piece cast iron corbels is replete with richly ornamented neoclassical floral rosettes, extensive acanthus leafage, and volutes throughout.
the corbel shown in the image gallery was been thoroughly cleaned (several layers of old black paint were painstakingly removed) and refinished to achieve a better visual appreciation of the fine casting detail.
fabrication attributed to the notable dearborn foundry company, chicago, il.
