Notes
  • Significance: The Empire Coke Plant is an exceptionally well preserved, rare surviving example of the first by-product coke making process imported into the United States from Germany. Preceded only by plants at Syracuse, New York, Dunbar, Pennsylvania and a few others, now demolished, Empire's Semet-Solvay plant is still fully operational and employs most of the original equipment. The 1903 coke oven battery differs significantly from the 1913 battery and features a series of improvements, particularly in flue work and oven heating techniques, representing early technological milestones in the evolution of the Semet-Solvay process. The organization of work, retained virtually intact from the original plant, provides an extremely important record of the tasks and skills required before by-product coke making achieved the mechanization of modern plants.
