Ok I thought I'd post some picts of the metal work in the cathedral. The metal work here spans a fairly long time period and you can see the development of the unique style that developed here in Bryn Athyn as they built the cathedral culminating in the work in Glencairn near by that I may post picts of later. Most of the metal work here was designed by Parke Edwards who worked at one time with Yellin. From what I understand some think Edwards work here is in some ways better than the typical Yellin iron work that is seen everywhere.
If you are ever in the Philly area and you love metal work, you owe it to yourself to come look at some of this. A good portion of what I'm posting isn't open to the public, but there is still metal work to see almost everywhere you look here.
I tried to narrow down the picts, but I still have over 100 showing just part of the detailed forged metal work in the cathedral. I'll try to keep it to 5 to 10 picts on each major area. None of it is cast, the vast majority is all forged Monel, but there are some brass or bronze accents and some exterior door surfaces that are treated in bronze.
I think I'll start off with some overall picts of the cathedral....
