Corbels

One of my favorite fellow city bloggers is Mary Ann, of Beirut Pursuit. Her recent interest (some might call it an obsession) with the corbels of Beirut have made me more aware of the corbels, or balcony supports, in Downey.

So when I passed by these beautiful iron corbels supporting the balcony of this abandoned building in the old Rancho facilities (click here for more pictures from Rancho), I had to stop and take a picture.
