Preserving and Maintaining Architectural Metal!
Stewart Iron Works celebrates our 150th year in business this year! Much of our early work is still proudly gracing the original properties 100+ years after installation. Much of our early work is sold through Ebay, antique stores and reclamation construction companies. We receive many inquiries as to restoring these newly acquired historical gems.
Our Federal Government provides "Standards for Rehabilitation and Guidelines for Rehabilitating Historic Buildings" which contains invaluable information. The link below contains a plethora of information from Preserving, Protecting and Maintaining, Repairing to Replacing.
We hope this can be of service to those who love architectural metals as much as we do!

The Iconic New York City Park Bench!
The New York City Park BenchThe Stewart Iron Works Park Bench has graced municipal parks, county court houses, state capitols, city streets and residential lawns since the 1930s! Our park bench was chosen by Frederick Law Olmstead, then Superintendent of New York Central Park, for inclusion of his urban-life design of New York's famed park. Olmstead is popularly considered to be the father of American Landscape Architecture.
Our bench can be ordered in 4', 5', 6' and 8' lengths, with the legs pre-drilled for mounting to a hard surface.
The bench can be ordered with a 5" round bronze plaque commemorating a loved one, an organization, a city, etc.
The plaque can also be ordered in a 3-1/2" h. x 9" w. dimension.
The New York City Park Bench can be ordered "Backless" in 4', 5' and 6' lengths.
