Where we started at Phoenixville Foundry

History

Built in 1882 along the French Creek, the foundry of Phoenix Iron & Steel Company poured iron castings well into the 1970s and is considered Phoenixville’s and Northern Chester County’s most important symbol of the town’s illustrious industrial past.

Unique Foundry Features

Discover the elements that give Phoenixville Foundry its unmistakable character, where preserved industrial artistry meets modern sophistication to create a space rich in history and elegance.

Phoenix Column Truss Bridge

Phoenixville Foundry’s Column Truss Bridge offers a spectacular backdrop for photographs. Often used for a first look for couples getting married on site. The bridge crosses over French Creek and has magnificent views for guests to enjoy while exploring our historic grounds.
Sculpture Garden

The wrought iron Phoenix Columns in our “Symbols of Steel” Sculpture Garden once supported the floors of the Stegmaier Brewery, a Wilkes-Barre, PA landmark. Let Phoenixville Foundry be a dramatic back-drop with an outdoor ceremony and reception in the lush, landscaped Sculpture Garden and Pavilion.
West Patio

Situated right off the Foundry’s West Ballroom is the West Patio that is often used as another option for outdoor entertaining. The brick patio with its own trellis garden is another lovely opportunity for photographs as well.
