Description
These buildings are part of the Hopewell Furnace National Historic Site. The Hopewell Furnace was founded in 1771 by ironmaker Mark Bird and operated until 1883. It lies in a setting of forested hills and valleys along French Creek in Berks County near Elverson in southeastern Pennsylvania.
It is an example of an early 19th century rural 'Iron Plantation', a forerunner of today's iron and steel giants.

Such fine old architecture. Wonderful feel to this.
Great Photo and very interesting portion of history.
Fascinating Sig! Thank you for sharing. :)
It's not the seat of an armorer. It's not even the mill of a gunmaker. The plow is further West in Moline. Ornamental craft is in Charleston and New Orleans. The smokey glow feeds a need to understand Hell.
