Cast Iron Building Facade
In June of 1974, a 126-year-old cast iron building facade weighing around 4 tons was stolen in New York. It had been disassembled for preservation, and the theft was only discovered because the thieves were caught trying to take the last piece. They were from the Bogardus Building, which stood in what is now Tribeca. Sadly, the building and the intersection in which it stood are no longer there.
