A Brief History of Philadelphia, PA

The Belmont Iron Works

Seventy-seven years ago at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, The Belmont Iron Works started as a partnership, which established an ornamental and light Iron shop along Parkside Avenue at Forty-second Street, in the year 1870.

In the year 1877, following the Philadelphia Centennial Exhibition, this partnership took over part of the Machinery Exhibit Building, continuing there, until the year 1886, when the partnership of Manly and Cooper Manufacturing Company, was taken over by a newly formed firm, Belmont Iran Company, Inc., which operated, at the above site, until 1888, when the plant was destroyed by fire and the company liquidated.

Belmont Iron Works Limited was then organized and resumed business on Washington Avenue at Twenty-fourth Street near the present home office and works, on Washington Avenue from Twenty-second to Twenty-third Streets, and established a sales and business office In Now York City.

The Company operated under the above name, until the year 1897, when the name was again changed to the Belmont Iron Works, Inc., and operated as such under a fifty year charter, issued by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
