Notes
  • Significance: Although this site contained an iron furnace as early as 1807, the remnants of the pig-iron producing operation date from the 1910s through the 1940s. This includes a (ca. 1906) building that likely served as the blowing furnaces and a battery of stone and brick constructed beehive coke ovens.
