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?
