James Bogardus Triangle
James Bogardus (1800-1874) was an architect, engineer and inventor who devised the iron front building and the freestanding iron towers and shot towers that foretold the construction of the skyscraper as a building type. Bogardus built the world's first iron-cast building (1849) at the northwest corner of Washington and Murray Streets. Two surviving Bogardus cast-iron buildings can be seen nearby at 75 Murray Street (1857) and 85 Leonard Street (1860).
