1846 Blast Furnace

East Dorset, Vermont

Built by Francis Draper for Civil War iron and then later for casting stoves. A 100 ft long Marble Casting House and large water wheel have been removed. After the collapse of another local furnace Seth Harris and myself assessed the structure and developed a restoration plan that preserved and protected this from disappearing.

Blast furnace and foundry in East Dorset in the 1890's. The foundry was built of marble, only foundations remain.
