My wife and recently purchased a townhouse in Park Slope and are in the midst of renovating. As we have two boys under 2,we’ve decided to remove a spiral staircase that connects the parlor floor with the first bedroom floor… Can anyone recommend a resource for me to contact to try to sell it? (and/or value it)? It is brass and cast iron and I believe it was installed in the 1930’s… Any help would be appreciated.
Do you still have the spiral staircase?
I am renovating a victorian home and this one is a great match and fit for the space I have.
Please e-mail me.

Thank you for your time.
I would be interested in buying the stair case if it is still for sale; 917-453-4567
The diameter of the staircase is 54 inches. The height from landing to landing is 11 feet.
I have taken my son to the emergency room once with his teeth through his face because of this staircase. I am removing it.
I’m also interested in purchasing it if the dimensions work. Why don’t you just post the dimensions and an ask price?
I use to live in London in our 4 family house as a child and we (my brother an I) use slide from the top of the banister and slide all the way to the 1st floor it was made of wood and it was like a helter skelter…. My parents never removed it. I’m now 50yrs old and alive and kicking…..
I would love to buy your staircase assuming I can afford your price and the dimensions work. If you are interested please call me on my cell at 503-490-5511.
Thanks!
Yep, it is in their nature to do so 10:23. I am not suggesting the OP sell this beautiful spiral stair but reasoning with a 2 yo not to do themselves harm on this thing is not one of the temporary solutions here.
You may lock the room its in and resign yourself to hawk-eyed vigilance at all other times, or supplant their curiosity about the thing with some other visceral reaction e.g. terror, or something else; but try to harm themselves on this thing they will.
I would imagine that any staircase would present a risk if toddlers were left to their own devices…
I tend to agree with a few of the posters when they say, “seems to be a permanent
solution to a temporary problem.”
In the end it is your home and whatever
solution makes you feel the most secure is
the way to go… it seems as if barring the children from the spiral stairs isn’t an option in your home.
“It is in the nature of 2 year old boys to climb up a spiral staircase and find enterprising ways of committing suicide.”
so basically, whatever your kids want to do, you just have to live with that happening, b/c it is in their nature.
man, parenting is so tough these days.
