Elkridge Furnace Complex
Elkridge Furnace Complex, Industrial complex in Elkridge, Maryland, US.
The Elkridge Furnace Complex spans 16 acres and contains six buildings, including a Federal style house, worker accommodations, and operational structures.
Founded in 1751 by Caleb Dorsey, the furnace produced iron for England, and during the American Revolution, its forge manufactured cannons and bayonets.
The transformation of this industrial site into a restaurant and banquet facility represents the evolution of Maryland's manufacturing heritage into modern uses.
The complex operates as the Elkridge Furnace Inn, offering dining services in a structure dating from 1835 within Patapsco Valley State Park.
The water-powered bellows system used a water wheel and gear mechanism to fan the forge's charcoal fire for iron production.
