Sloss Furnaces National Historic Landmark

This pinhole photograph shows Sloss Furnaces from what is now the back for visitors. To the left, mostly obscured by the brush, is the Baldwin locomotive. Sloss Furnaces was one of the pioneering iron operations, dating from just after the creation of Birmingham, Alabama just a few years after the U.S. Civil War. Birmingham, with deposits of iron, coal and limestone, is an ideal location for making iron and steel. The current structures were built in the late 1920s, and operated until pollution regulations forces its shutdown in the early 1970s. Unlike many of the pioneering operations in Birmingham, Sloss was saved as a museum. This scene will soon change radically. In the middle is the start of a road to bring people to a new visitor's center being built beyond the furnaces, near the distant casting shed. Scan of 120 Negative
