Taylor & Boggis Foundry

Taylor & Boggis Foundry began in 1875 under the leadership of Harvey Taylor and Robert Boggis. It was located in Cleveland, Ohio. The foundry produced iron cast products and builders hardware. The company throughout its history survived through a number of fires, causing it to relocate multiple times between 1883 and 1945. In 1969, the company was purchased and consolidated under The Ohio Foundry Company. The company declared bankruptcy in 2012.
