Adrian Janes

Adrian Janes (February 4, 1798 – March 2, 1869) was the owner of a significant American iron foundry in the Bronx, New York.

The foundry created iron work for many notable projects, including the Capitol Dome of the U.S. Capitol Building in Washington DC, the Bow Bridge in Central Park and railings for the Brooklyn Bridge.[1]

Around 1855, Janes, Beebe & Co. published an Illustrated Catalogue of Ornamental Iron Work.[2]

The company name is sometimes misattributed to James Bebe or James Beebe.
