93 Reade Street, New York
Damage to facade
- Description: Exterior of the former Millers Falls Company office showing damage to the cast iron details. It is likely that the fluted columns of the facade once sported ornate capitals, and that they were removed at some point prior to 1974. A photo in Gayle & Gillon's book shows the columns minus the capitals and documents the already broken status of the underlying cast pieces. By spring 2006, additional damage, in the form of missing pieces, was evident. Damage aside, the facade is largely in good condition and merits preservation.
