I took this photo from inside the Carrie Blast Furnace a few years ago. It probably isn’t the prettiest photo in the world, but I loved this entire space which was one large mechanical wonder.

Inside Carrie Furnace
Per my normal routine, I’ve been hopping around processing photos from different trips, photo walks, locations, dates, etc… Last weekend I was processing photos I took in 2016 from the Carrie Furnace. That’s when I found this beauty waiting to be viewed. This was inside the main building that supported the steel blast furnace.

Today’s post is another photo from the Carrie Furnace outside of Pittsburgh. This former steel blast furnace help produce tons of steel per day, back when steel was actually made in Pittsburgh. I liked how this yellow handle seems untouched by the decay and years of abandonment.

Carrie Furnace Stack
Today a few of us rented the Carrie Furnace so we’d have the place to ourselves to get access to photograph this great place. It is the last remaining blast furnace left in the Pittsburgh area from the steel industry that has been gone for a long time. It was originally part of the Homestead Steel Works. It was built in 1884 and closed in 1982. Back in the day, it produced over 1,000 tons of iron per day that was sent across the hot metal bridge to another plant that turned it into steel. This photo is on the backside of the plant looking up at some of the metal structure.
