Smaller scaled Victorian elements were used to decorate the facades of tenements in Harlem, Brooklyn, the Lower East side of Manhattan, and The Bronx from around 1880 to the 1910s, while large scaled ornaments decorated hotels, office buildings and larger high-rise apartment buildings built in the 1920's and 1930's eras.
Most of the copyrighted designs for sale here were created by Randall from compilations of photos and personal experience as a life-long gargoyle collector, salvager and professional sculptor.
As a sculptor I specialize exclusively in Victorian and Art Deco architectural ornaments, with a focus on absolute historical authenticity in every aspect.

This section documents the destruction of many of New York City's 19th century tenement and other buildings, so that we can mourn the lost, appreciate the endangered, and take steps to ensure that other significant architecture doesn't follow the same fate as Stanford White's Pennsylvania Station.
