The RIGID DELICACY of a FREE STANDING STAIRS 
One of the best modern examples of a free standing stairs that me have in America is to be 
found in the residence of R. L. Bacon, Esq., at Westbnry, L. 1. It is attached to the main 
construction only at top and bottom. While rigid, it is also delicate. The wrought iron 
balustrade is painted dull black and the rosettes are touched with burnished gold. The architect 
was John Russell Pope
