Decade: mid 1800s roughly 1850 give or take a few years
Condition: Good
- one column cap missing but those are made of a tin and could be replaced
- one finial snapped off but there so would need welded back
- when this was removed, workers cut into one column to get to spot to remove so this half moon piece will also need to be welded back
- top wrought piece that goes across is tacked down and not totally flat though i believe that is how it was made and one edge is slightly lifted up so can be bent back down
- many coats of paint and roof tar at bottoms of columns along with some oxidation to those exposed areas and corners where these rails meet
