Thispiece would be a great addition to your collection, man cave, den, shop,garage, retail or resale. It would also make a fantastic gift for someone who used to work for the Bethlehem Steel Corporation. Bring back the nostalgia of the days when everything was Made In America with this unique item of industrial heritage.

We were privileged enough tobe given accessto the former Bethlehem Steel property in Sparrows Point, Baltimore, MD., where it served as an industrial giant in the steel, ship and railindustries for decades. We were fortunate enoughto recover many items from this industrial giant steel mill, ship and rail yard, ranging from new old stock parts to signs and other collectible ephemera. It's been an honor to play a part in the preservation of the heritage of such a prestigious American manufacturing icon, and one that played a critical role inthe building of this great industrial nation, WWII, and theproud blue collar history of the city of Baltimore.

The Bethlehem Steel Corporation was founded in 1857 in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania and expanded its operations to Baltimore in1916. The mill at Sparrows Point quickly eclipsed the production levels of the main Pennsylvania plant, and by the middle of the 20th century had been named the largest steel mill in the world. In addition to manufacturing the steel utilized in the building of suchhallmarks of American infrastructure as the Golden Gate Bridge and Madison Square Garden, Bethlehem Steel's Baltimore-based Fairfield Shipyard was responsible for building the ships that were instrumental in winning World War II. Although Sparrows Point ceased steel production for good in 2012, the plant is still fondly remembered by many of the tens of thousands of Baltimoreans it employed over the years.

About Us

MdArchitectural Rescue is a different type of recycling company. We have operated in Baltimore and surrounding areas since 1996. After starting out rescuing fireplace mantles and cast iron door locks from construction dumpsters, we have opened our eyes to may types of waste that are often over looked and fall through the cracks. Our focus is and always will be vintage items of the highest quality. But with our eyes now open we put a lot of effort in bringing you high end collectibles from every industry available and at a very reasonable price. All our items are salvaged and are for the most part American Made. One week we could be in an old School, Brewery, Factory, and the following weekat a Shipyard or Power plant, you just never know. Also, one day we may be removing Vintage lighting, the next day Signs and Vintage blueprints and the following day cleaning out a machine shop or high end parts room. We literally have NO idea what we have coming around corner, so make sure you add us to your favorites and check back often.
