Coplay Cement Company Kilns
Coplay Cement Company Kilns, Industrial heritage museum in Coplay, Pennsylvania, United States.
Nine vertical brick kilns, each reaching 90 feet in height, stand as remnants of the Portland cement manufacturing facility from the 1890s.
The Coplay Cement Company constructed these Schoefer kilns between 1892 and 1893, operating them until 1904 when more efficient rotary technology emerged.
The Saylor Cement Museum chronicles the development of America's cement industry through exhibits about David Saylor, who received the first Portland cement patent.
Located at 245 North 2nd Street, the site connects to the Ironton Rail Trail and includes parking facilities 100 feet from the structures.
The limestone deposits in Lehigh County contained all three components needed for cement production: lime, silica, and alumina in single rocks.
