Macs Iron Works designed and installed a custom wrought iron railing for an exterior stairway at Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, NY. The project called for a railing system that could withstand daily use while complementing the historic character of the campus. The ironwork was fabricated with traditional details, then treated for weather resistance to ensure a long lifespan in all seasons.
The railing was tailored to match the aesthetic of nearby architecture, offering subtle visual continuity while providing essential safety and function. With careful on-site installation and finish work, the project met both practical and aesthetic goals—showing how ornamental steel can quietly enhance an established space.
