From Robert P.Winthrop’s Cast and Wrought – The Architectural Metalwork of Richmond, Virginia:
Richmond’s architectural cast iron is second only to that of New Orleans, yet it is hardly recognized. Over 130 porches and balconies, hundreds of yards of elaborate fencing, as well as scores of cast iron front buildings remain in the city today and make up the bulk of the city’s architectural metalwork.

Katherine Wetzel, a Richmond native and the photographer for the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts for decades, did a splendid job with the photos in this book. A bit of trivia from Katherine…she told me once she never could quite capture the green color in Edward Hopper’s work until digital cameras came around.
