Cleveland Baseball Stadium Salvaged Foundry Mold Bench Seating

Description : A large, curved seating structure originally removed from Progressive Field during renovations, this piece is constructed from reclaimed industrial foundry patterns once used to cast iron components. The form features layered circular geometry with a recessed seating area and retains its original weathered paint, industrial markings, and patina. A red upholstered backrest panel has been added, blending raw industrial material with functional seating. The attached plaque notes its origin from Taylor & Boggis Foundry in Cleveland and its repurposing by Rustbelt Reclamation, giving it strong regional and historical significance.
