cast iron boneyard

Vintage decorative cast iron, presumably from long-vanished downtown buildings, now in storage around the east end of the Hawthorne Bridge. I'd read that ornamentation from old cast iron front buildings was often salvaged and put in storage when the buildings were demolished. I guess I just sort of assumed storage meant somewhere with walls and a roof, at the bare minimum. That seems to not be the case for at least some of the recovered materials. I'd guess most of this stuff is now too far gone to ever be usable again.
