Vanderbilt University’s Kirkland Hall

Type: Historic staircase guardrail
Linear Feet: 500

Coinciding with an extensive historic preservation project at Vanderbilt University’s iconic Kirkland Hall, we restored 500 feet of 150-year-old stairwell railing and modified certain sections to meet modern regulations. We also extended the railing in specific areas with historically accurate replications, including matching the custom rosette pattern featured throughout the railing system. Thanks to our own storied history of working with historic metals, we successfully breathed new life into this vintage stairwell.

University of Cincinnati’s Siddall Hall and Calhoun Hall

Type: Decorative Metal
Linear Feet: 2,130

The exterior stainless steel railings Stewart Iron Works created for two University of Cincinnati dormitories were fabricated with the highest quality weld, achieving the quality standard of NOMMA 1. Due to their specifications, these picket railings required a specialty water-laser technique to accurately affix each post to the rail, and our expert precision craftsmanship and attention to detail ensured flawless execution from design through installation.

Specialty: Decorative Glass, Decorative Metal, Pipe + Tube Railings
Linear Feet: 1,068

Working against a rigid schedule to accommodate an active college campus, we expertly navigated a tight construction site and other logistical challenges to deliver a series of custom railing systems for the University of Cincinnati’s new Sheakley Indoor Practice Facility and Athletics Performance Center. The decorative glass system, especially, required our team’s unmatched skill and attention to detail. We meticulously installed each panel to ensure a firm fit for a modern look that functions flawlessly.
