• W2073327879 abstract "JUST A CENTURY ago American architecture was entering a new era, its Age of Iron. Iron, the preeminent hallmark of the Industrial Revolution, had become by the middle of the nineteenth century sufficiently available and economical in the United States, either by importation or by domestic production, that its widespread use for building construction was at last practicable. Soon its strength would make possible the realization of that age-old dream, the skyscraper, but first it was to be exploited for its incombustibility and the ease with which it could be cast into almost any desired shape. These seductive qualities encouraged a state of mind which deserves the name of Ferromania. For most historians, the prophet, apostle, and patron saint of Ferromania has been James Bogardus.1 Now that a century has passed since he entered the American scene, it seems an appropriate time to assay more completely the man, his work, and his place in our architectural evolution. Bogardus was born at Catskill, New York, in 1800.2 Throughout his youth, the thriving town could offer excellent stimuli to an inquisitive mind. Fulton's Clermont steamed past its dock when the boy was but seven. Amos Eaton, later to found the first American engineering school, the Rensselaer Institute, was a Catskill lawyer who from 1810 on gave public lectures on scientific subjects.3 At Catskill, Bogardus was apprenticed to the local watchmaker who trained him to become expert in the difficult crafts of engraving and die-sinking. The prospects of Catskill, however, declined as the Erie Canal began to siphon off its back-country trade, and around 1825 Bogardus left home to try his fortune in New York City. There his industry and bent for mechanics were evidenced by a series of prizes and patents for clocks, a ring-flyer for cotton spinning, an eccentric sugar mill, a dry gas meter, a metal mechanical pencil, and a machine for engraving filigreed watch dials. He was firmly established by 1831 when he married Margaret, daughter of the Rev. Archibald McClay. In 1836 he went to London, apparently to promote his engraving machine. With it he engraved Queen Victoria's portrait, and in 1839 he won $2000 for applying the apparatus to the production of postage stamps. No doubt this prize financed the continental tour which he took before his return to New York in 1840.4" @default.
