 Old joist hangers

I have publications starting from the early 1890s that prescribe, illustrate and advertise joist hangers. There were some published municipal ordinances specifically requiring them by the mid 1890s.

Thanks, Bill.
The new lumber, the really cool home made steel posts, and the old sill, turned into a "Hey wait a minute moment". Check out the top of the hanger where they chiseled the floor board. The beams were built up dimension lumber. The whole place was straight.
I hate new houses.

I'm in awe of the skills and pride of work that once existed.
What happened?

I see massive iron hangers on old warehouses. These are 1880's-1890's buildings.

It's still out there. It's just limited. It ain't pulte.
I could show you some stuff if you came to Chicago that'd blow your socks off. Rich people building monuments for themselves.
