Turned and Painted Wood Victorian Pilaster Pendulum. circa 1855-1865. A wonderful wood turner's whimsey. I have never before seen one of these and there are several of these on this building at the east end of Plant Street. It is amazing that such fragile and delicate decorations have survived out of doors for over 150 years of weather, storms and brutal building remodelings throughout the city. The owner of this apartment row must have a unique and wonderful respect for historic architecture and is to be commended.
