Grotesque Keystone Nr 285<\/h6>\n
Kiln Fired Terracotta<\/h6>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The keystone that provided the original to make the mold from came from 705 -707 East 5th Street, Manhattan, pictured below in 1975;<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The original ca 1905 keystone was made from white terracotta and\u00a0 just the grotesque mask upper half was used;<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Like the original, my red terracotta is hand-pressed and kiln fired, these can be used outdoors in the garden or built into a brick or stone wall.<\/div>\n
The entire block of buildings on East 5th Street was demolished in the 1980s.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
To purchase one of my kiln fired keystones;<\/div>\n
