Wow, that is interesting!!!!  Are there any cast iron buildings left
standing, in use, in the city?  Maybe I should buy the one that is rusting
in the vacant lot, bring it up here and erect it.  Now that would surely
put Dummerston on the map!!!!!  Ruth

Then there was the other cast iron facade, salvaged from WorthStreet in the
1960's.  Around 1990 I contacted the Landmarks Commission and it took them
weeks to find it.
