Anaconda Smelter Stack, Industrial flue-gas stack in Anaconda, Montana, US
The Anaconda Smelter Stack rises 178 meters above ground level, with a concrete foundation supporting its brick construction and 26-meter-wide upper section.
Built in 1918 by the Alphonis Chimney Construction Company, this structure processed emissions from copper mining operations of the Anaconda Copper Mining Company until 1980.
The stack represents Montana's industrial past, where generations of workers depended on copper production for their economic stability and community development.
Visitors can access the state park during daylight hours, with Montana residents receiving free entry through their annual vehicle registration program.
This structure maintains its position as the highest remaining masonry structure worldwide, featuring an octagonal base with specialized gas exhaust openings.
