Description
Carrie Furnace is a former blast furnace located along the Monongahela River in the Pittsburgh area industrial town of Swissvale, Pennsylvania, and it had formed a part of the Homestead Steel Works. The Carrie Furnaces were built in 1884 and they operated until 1982
Amid foreign competition, labor union strikes, and changes in the core technology used to manufacture steel, Pittsburgh's industry declined at the end of the 20th century. By the 1980s, more than 75 percent of the steel-making capacity in the Pittsburgh region was shuttered. Pittsburgh's steel boom days are quickly becoming lost in the mists of time. This photo shows Carrie Furnace on a misty morning in December 2022.
