The Corner of Maiden and Pearl

The building at the corner of North Pearl Street and Maiden Lane (which now houses a busy Bruegger's Bagels) has rows of these very elegant cast iron lintels, as does the adjacent building on North Pearl. From a distance, they give the appearance of brownstone elements.

This building can be spotted in scenes from the movie The Other Guys.

Lion and Shutters

A lion decorates a cast iron lintel on Swan Street overlooking the Empire State Plaza and New York State Museum.

Fancy Work

This doorway of this old brick town house on lower Clinton Avenue is crowned with an elegant cast iron lintel which, for the longest time, I mistook for carved stone.
