Set of 5 NYC West Side Hwy Emblematic Cast Iron Plaques
About the Item
Complete set of 5, cast iron WPA era plaques reclaimed from the New York City West Side elevated highway which was torn down during the late 1970's. This set is a series of five designs in cast-iron depicting historic New York City seals and were designed by Rene P. Chambellan, circa 1928. The highway was originally known as the Miller Elevated Highway which was built between 1929 - 1951. Placed on the side of the structure at each intersection were five alternating seals of New York, from the first seal of New Netherland in 1623 to the seal used by the city of New York when the highway was erected in the 1930s. This is a hard-to-find complete set of original medallions. Please note, this item is located in one of our NYC locations.
