Rust—As Shown in the Removal of a Seventeen-Story Building
The Gillender Building, a seventeen-story structure at the northwest corner of Wall and Nassau Streets, New York City, was built in 1896, and removed in 1910. When built, all the columns were encased in solid brickwork. The steelwork received one coat of paint in the shop and two after erection, but on removal, showed little evidence of ever having been painted at all. From the top to the bottom, wherever the spaces between the brick and steel were filled with Portland cement mortar, there was no rusting, but, wherever the mortar did not fill such spaces completely, rusting had begun. Generally, the under sides of the top and bottom flanges of the floor-beams had begun to show rust, while the web and upper surfaces, having been in contact with mortar, were in good condition.
