BUSINESS More Than A Company Stewart Iron Works is part of the American Experience. by Rick Pawlak WHILE TODAY’S PRODUCTION environment is dominated by multiaxis machines, welding robots, and lean manufacturing concepts, there is a 155-yearold company in Covington, Kentucky that still produces some of the finest ornamental iron structures in the nation by hand, a proud and timeless tradition passed down from generations of German-American craftsman. Stewart Iron Works’ ornamental metal artistry can be found on some of the most iconic structures in North America, including The White House, U.S. House of Representatives, the gates of the Panama Canal, New York’s Central Park, the Alaskan Governor’s Mansion, the Smithsonian, and historical cemeteries throughout the American South. The history behind the company is an important chapter in the American Experience. Richard (R.C.) Stewart Sr., a skilled blacksmith, founded Stewart Iron Works in Covington – then a bustling industrial city just across the Ohio River from Cincinnati – in 1862 with the intent of producing iron fences. By 1886, the company had grown to more than 150 employees who were producing ornamental iron fences and structures throughout the United States. The second generation – Wallace and Robert Stewart – re-joined the family business near the turn of the century after losing their own ornamental iron company in a horrific fire in Wichita, Kansas. By 1900, Stewart was producing several types of ornamental iron structures including fences, gates, reservoir vases, lamps, grills, jails, office partitions, window guards, fountains and more. The company’s product and skills were showcased at the 1904 World’s Fair in St. Louis, when it received the grand prize and gold medal in construction. At the time, Stewart Iron Works was recognized as the largest manufacturer of ornamental iron structures in the world. As the third generation of Stewarts grew older, they began to marry into other prominent manufacturing families and branching into different endeavors. In 1912, Stewart Iron Works began manufacturing trucks and eventually began supplying the United States Army during World War I. At its peak, Stewart Iron Works was producing approximately 100 trucks annually for the Army’s war effort. 34 <strong>ULTIMATE</strong> / MARCH-APRIL 2017
