Hardie-Tynes Manufacturing Company, 800 Twenty-eighth Street, North, Birmingham, Jefferson County, AL

description

Summary

Significance: The Hardie-Tynes Manufacturing Company is an example of a typical foundry and machine shop serving industrial customers in the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The company retains substantial original equipment, including two unused cupolas dating from 1901 and 1918. Originally a vital link in Birmingham's integrated iron industry, Hardie-Tynes expanded beyond its southern mining context to produce specialized components for large public works projects such as the Panama Canal, Wilson and Hoover Dams, and the U.S. Navy.

Unprocessed Field note material exists for this structure: N123
