This huge building was a furnace that processed pig iron and shipped it via rail to steel mills located in Huff, Johnstown, Wilmerding and Uniontown, Pennsylvania.  The facility was owned by the Rochester and Pittsburgh Coal and Iron Company until 1907.  It was then ran by the Adrian Furnace Company.  The Adrian Furnace was blown out around 1930 and was dismantled in 1936.
