SoHo Cast Iron Historic District
Walk Greene Street and you're seeing the 19th-century version of prefab construction: facades cast in iron, bolted together, painted to imitate stone. The light rakes along the fluted columns in the morning. Look for the 'Queen of Greene Street' and the bishop's-crook lampposts.
The world's densest concentration of cast-iron facades — prefabrication, 1860s edition.
