Mesker Bros. - a photo on Flickriver

Mesker Bros.

Before stopping in Catskill last week I also stopped in Saugerties to eat lunch, get an ice cream and take photos of the mini microbuses on display celebrating the 30th anniversary of Woodstock '94 which was held at the fairgrounds in town. This photo, however, is of none of those things.

While enjoying my Thai tea and cookies ice cream cone I noticed this Mesker Bros. plaque on the I. Lazarus, Clothier building. The Mesker Brothers were Bernard and Frank, who owned Mesker Brothers Iron Works in St. Louis. Another brother, George, owned George L. Mesker Co. which was a competitor. Imagine the stories about cast iron facades at family get togethers! Almost 6,000 buildings have so far been attributed to the brothers and a few hundred of those can be seen right here on Flickr.
