Summary
Significance: The two furnaces were the largest in the area and nearly identical in size to the impressive Lucy No. 2 (1878) and Edgar Thomson "A" (1880), two of Andrew Carnegie's blast furnaces in Pittsburgh. Each furnace measured 75' in height and contained a bosh 20' in diameter, with a hearth 8' in diameter. Capped with a single bell, both furnaces were manually charges. Each produced 600 tons of Bessemer iron per week.
