-High Rise- still bank 1874

"High Rise" still bank is a cast iron sculpture from 1874, by the Kenton Hardware Manufacturing Co. This miniature depiction of a high-rise building, a symbol of urban development and industrial progress, exemplifies a popular genre of the 19th century - cast iron banks. The intricate detailing of the building's facade, with its gridded windows, and the patina of age on the surface of the sculpture, evoke a sense of history and nostalgia. The bank is a testament to the artistic and technological capabilities of the time, and offers a glimpse into the fascination with the burgeoning urban landscape.
