Carrie Furnace, Blast furnace in Swissvale, Pennsylvania, US.
The iron-producing Carrie Furnaces stand 140 feet tall along the Monongahela River, featuring two preserved structures numbered 6 and 7 from the original complex.
Carnegie Steel Company incorporated these furnaces in 1901, which operated until 1978 and produced over 1000 tons of iron daily during peak production years.
The Rivers of Steel Heritage Corporation manages guided tours through the industrial complex, explaining the technical processes and social impact of steelmaking.
Access to the National Historic Landmark requires advance reservations due to railroad tracks surrounding the 168-acre industrial property.
The Hot Metal Bridge connected to the site transported molten iron across the Monongahela River and will become a pedestrian crossing.
