Thank you for sharing. This is so cool! I look forward to hearing about other discoveries since we have 3 more phases to go. Keep it coming! :)
As a retired construction mechanic, a plumber, your sharing with me is a gift into the past. So many of my memories are from what was found during renovations. Please keep these "finds" coming
Thanks for sharing this was a very exciting article to read. Learning more about the building historic items that were found,and original construction materials . Can’t wait to read more on the next findings.
I love seeing and hearing about finds like this. Thank you for sharing. I am an Electrician at the Supreme Court and it is amazing to me the craftsmanship that our buildings have here on the Hill. To find stuff that belonged to the trades back then is so very awesome.
Fascinating! Casual discards from an earlier age become our "surprise" treasures.
Interesting share; thank you.
