Architectural Iron Company is a Pennsylvania based corporation primarily engaged in the restoration and reproduction of 18th and 19th century cast and wrought iron work. Architectural Iron Company makes custom grey iron castings for customers nationwide. TYPES OF CUSTOM CASTINGS WE HAVE MADE AND CAST IRON FABRICATIONS WE HAVE RESTORED Architectural Iron Company has completed fifty-nine (59) projects in New York City's famed Central Park as of August 2003. Our reproduction of the long missing cast iron handrails at Winterdale Arch was awarded both the 1994 New York Landmarks Conservancy Lucy Moses Preservation Award and a 1995 Preservation League of New York State Landscape Preservation Award. Our complete facade restoration of a five story cast iron building at 109 Prince Street in New York City's Cast Iron Historic District was awarded a New York City Landmarks Commission Award for 1994. This project involved disassembly, casting, and restoration of hundreds of pieces of this historic structure, both at our Milford, Pennsylvania shops and at the site. At 74 Perry Street, in New York City's Greenwich Village Historic District, we reproduced the missing elaborate cast iron stoop and sidewalk railings for this building using an existing original building as a guide. This facade restoration was awarded 1st place, Urban Homes Division, in the 1995 National Trust for Historic Preservation Great American Home Awards. Similarly, our reproduction of the cast iron stoop and sidewalk railings at nearby 78 Perry Street won a 1992 New York City Landmarks Commission Award. Our new cast and wrought iron railings at 84 Remsen Street in the Brooklyn Heights Historic District help this project win a 1993 New York City Landmarks Commission Award. Our restoration of the ornate cast iron railings at the prestigious Dakota Cooperative helped this facade restoration win a 1994 New York City Landmarks Commission Award. Our 1994 restoration of the sixty foot diameter Neptune Fountain at Snug Harbor Cultural Center (a National Historic Landmark) in Staten Island, New York, which included restoration of existing elements as well as new pier bases, new pier caps, sixteen (16) new urns and new benches based upon a period design was awarded a 1995 Preservation League of New York State Landscape Preservation Award and a 1995 Preservation League of Staten Island Award. The following tribute speaks for itself: "On behalf of the Building Conservation Branch of the National Park Service I would like to express our gratitude to Architectural Iron for their exemplary work. The two new ornamental flagcases, which were detailed, fabricated and erected by Architectural Iron, are the crowning achievement in our restoration efforts at the General Grant National Memorial in New York City. The flagcase project has been a very rewarding endeavor; Architectural Iron must be commended for their commitment to quality and professionalism."
