You've got to remember that there wasn't air conditioning in the 19th Century in those buildings.

So the ceilings were very tall because heat rises and would rise above most everyone's heads.

Those round holes were for iron pierced grates that were placed over vent holes to allow the heat to escape during warmer weather.

This one is a interior iron register.

The ground was found to be unstable. I got my first card at the one on McLean.

Overton Square's past is reflected in this photo of Madison Avenue from December 1970, months after TGI Friday's opened.
These days, the square is seeing a revival of retail, restaurants and the arts.
