Quite the FANCY FIRE ESCAPES.
Growing up in Brooklyn ours were no where near as ornate or attractive as these. Same basic model only plane flat metal w/brownish paint. Used to PLAY on them running up & down scaring the life out of the neighbors as a KID & YES I caught HELL FOR IT !!!
Great detail throughout the shot.
