Notes
  • STORED OFF SITE AND ON SITE. mchr
  • Significance: The Sloss Company's city furnaces, built in what is now the center of Birmingham, Alabama, in 1881-1882, produced pig iron for the foundry market until their close in 1970. / The Sloss Furnaces, the nucleus of an integrated ironmaking system which includes extensive surviving remnants of coal and iron ore mines, quarries, and coke ovens, are the most visible symbol of the Birmingham District's role as the nation's leading foundry iron producer from the late-19th century until the 1960s. The blast furnaces, stoves, boilers and other structures represent the highest expression of American merchant pig iron furnace practice and design of the late 1920s. Other features such as vertical blowing engines and sand casting beds chart technological evolution at the turn of the century.
