Randall's Urban Architectural Sculptures

Here’s how you get something like this home and on the porch from the loading dock 5 blocks away where it was delivered- using a dolly!

I was browsing an East Coast live auction firm’s upcoming auction a couple of weeks ago when I happened to see this keystone, actually a pair of them.
These were actually mine and they came from 522-524 East 12th st. by Ave A.

I was happy to get a bid in and won the lot for $600, actually $720 with the 20% premium added in

From a 1921 ad by Midland Terra Cotta, photo detail showing workers pressing clay into plaster molds.

I was happy to find this massive terra cotta eagle, 1 of 4 salvaged from a Chicago building demolished in the 1980′s
I suspect the 4 were sitting in someone’s garden or something and they passed away, and all 4 were sold to Urban Remains.

The eagle is 44″ tall and about that wide, and 27″ deep approximately, and I estimated around 400 pounds.

It’s arrival should be in about 3 weeks via truck. It was a $4,000 purchase plus the shipping, but worth the money.

More photos when it’s actually here.
