However, there was a famous case probably 30-35 years ago, in which a
cast-iron building down at the South Street Seaport  in NY had been
carefully disassembled and stored for later reconstruction, but was stolen
for scrap metal and never seen again, at least not in the same
configuration.  It would be nice to think that the original iron may have
reappeared in the form of steel in the new building that had to be designed
for the same site, to mimic the original CI one.
