ing entireiy,of east-irons and OF Initiating iE
|. this material the usual ornamental forms oil
architecture, was first considered by hin
while travelling in Italy In 1s40. and during
his subsequent travels be developed his
plans. The first complete cIst-ironl structure
erected nTAmerfca was the nenufacsOry q
the inventor, on the corner Of Centre sad
Duane streets, New York. 4 model Of the
building was placed on exhibition for exam.
ination b.. visitors in the summer Of ls47,
and in Hay, i84S, the foundation was laid. :,
he was constantly annoyed BY predictions Of

!. danger of destruction by lightning. !; y
danger Of topping because the walls could
not be kept perpendicular; in case Of fire
the columns would melt aud the structure
fall with great crash !" " expansion and
contraction would soon wriggle it to
pieces; )" "most of the scientific men were
opposed to his ideas," &C., &c. To increase
the difficulties Of the Inventor, complaints
were madeto the city authorities against this
building, and some Of the tenants of neigh.
boring houses left them for fear of danger.
Equivalents for the tensile and crushing
strength of cast-iron were then very imper.
fectly understood. NolO they have been
ascertsined by tests to almost unerring &C.
curacy, and iron buildings and iron fronts
are looked on with great favor.
The first mandatory of this kind in
