Photo of Day - Old German Coal Chute Geo. Focht Sons
Here is a photo that I initially thought was a sewer cap that appears to be Jewish in origin or just a pattern of a snowflake. Further research indicates that it is a cap to a coal chute originally made by Germans George Focht (1823-1898) Sons Iron Works who were once at First and Adams Street. This cap is on Garden Street between 6th and 7th on Garden Street if my memory serves me correct.
