Summary
Significance: One of a number of early 19th century central Pennsylvania iron works, the capacity of the Pennsylvania Furnace placed it among the region's largest. The Pennsylvania Furnace was part of a larger iron-producing enterprise, shipping its pig-iron to local forges at Sligo, Colerain, or Tyrone and from there to Pittsburgh's Sligo Works for rolling. Still extant are a retaining wall near the site of the stack, at least 3 workers' houses, the ironmaster's house and a privy.
