Cast iron building anchor plates, from the historic B&B Paint building in Savannah, GA.
Structural Anchor Plates: These are typically found on the outside of brick or stone buildings. They're connected to a tie rod or bolt and serve as structural reinforcement. The star shape is a common design. You can see these "wall washers" in cities like New York, Philadelphia, St. Louis, as well as hurricane-prone areas such as Savannah, Georgia, and Charleston, South Carolina, and earthquake-prone cities like San Francisco.
