Clip Summary
Bob meets with Bill Higgins, of Higgins and Quasebarth Restoration, to discuss the project building's history. Higgins utilizes archival information and on-site physical evidence to piece together a portrait of the building's history.On the exterior, Higgins notes the presence of cast-iron lintels above the second- and third-floor windows, and points out the absence of those lintels above the windows on the fourth floor.
Between the third and fourth floor, the historian notices a change in the masonry quality and surmises that the fourth floor was an addition.
Inside, evidence of covered-up window openings in the original brickwork suggests the building predates the structures on its left and right.
