Bringing Life Back to Virginia Metalcrafters

Virginia Metalcrafters had its first beginnings with the founding of Waynesboro Stove Company in 1890 by William J. Loth. The company, made ornately cast cookstoves, heaters, and all accoutrements for kitchens of the period, later developed the electric Hotpoint Range. It merged with Rife Ram Pump Works, inventors in 1884 of the ram- pump widely used to pump water in rural areas before electrification. In 1938, the Rife-Loth Corporation began selling finely crafted brass accessories under the name Virginia Metalcrafters until it’s closing in 2006. In 2013, the foundry site was purchased and today it is being revitalized as an adaptive re-use project.
