90-94 Maiden Lane, NYC - Lead Encasement

The small, elegant cast-iron-fronted mansarded building at 90-94 Maiden Lane is the only remaining example in the Financial District of the many Second Empire style commercial buildings constructed in downtown Manhattan during the post-Civil War era. The building’s exterior had peeling lead-based paint that was in poor condition. The owners wanted the lead paint to be encased to prevent any loose chips from falling onto the area in front of the building.
