As I was aimlessly meandering around Corona, crazed from the 80+ Corona heat, I spotted something interesting on the corner of 104th Street and 39th Avenue: specifically, 38-14 104th Street.
The front entrance seems to be festooned with intricate ironwork that was probably installed by a previous business owner on the ground floor; certainly not the mobile phone store that occupies it now.
The effect is most noticeable at the front entrance on 104th Street, where the lamp sconces have a distinct “Game of Thrones” vibe. The effect is diluted by the presence of one of those “curly” LED lightbulbs. I consulted the Municipal Archives, but its 1940 tax photo of the place offers no hints: the metalwork was installed after that date.
I’m usually the one with the answers, but Corona residents, please post in Comments what this corner ironwork is all about!
Check out the ForgottenBook, take a look at the gift shop, and as always, “comment…as you see fit.”
