From “Cast Iron Buildings: Their Construction and Advantages” by "James
Bogardus, Architect in Iron” (New York 1858):
Were a cast iron building “filled with combustible goods, such as cotton or
resin” and were to burn entirely, "the building itself would remain firm and
unimpaired.”
What would really happen - say to a corner sited CI building, 75 x 100, 5
stories high?
