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!

Frank Lloyd Wright Designed Boynton House!
Stewart Iron Works has begun installing the fence and gates on the 1908 Edward E. Boynton House in Rochester, NY. Stewart was proud to have been chosen to work with Mark H. Bayer, ASLA, Founder and Principal of Bayer Landscape Architecture, PLLC, Honeoye Falls, NY.
The Boynton House has the distinction as being the furthest East designed residence by the famed architect, Frank Lloyd Wright.
The two year restoration project has been taken on by Bayer Landscape and the owners with great care, adhering to the highest standards of quality and craftsmanship, and are staying true to Wright’s vision for the property. The design team and contractors on the site have been meticulous in cataloging, identifying and photographing materials and components of the house as they are reviewed and reconstructed.
Stewart Iron Works is most proud to have been chosen to fabricate the fence and gates in true Frnk Lloyd Wright exacting design!

Drive Gates Bring Peace of Mind!
There is an increasing demand for privacy and security among homeowners. Today's customer has many options besides the design of the gate to insure peace of mind. State of the art technology allows for the customer to incorporate facial recognition, internet-connected digital cameras, remote iPad controls and other security oriented features.
Grand and elaborate gates of yesteryear are often bypassed for less extravagant designs, so as not to draw attention to the residence. Security technology is less expensive and less intrusive with each new generation, which allows gate design to be more modest in appearance, yet heavily fortified. Security experts often recommend keeping the design simple and modest, so as to be overlooked.
Often times, visual security can play a role as well. Besides the drive gate, landscape architects can design a plan with trees and landscaping, creating visual barriers, which provide the home owner with an added layer of security. Visual barriers are limiting compared to the security a Stewart fence can provide.
Call us today if security and peace of mind is high on your priority list!
