Sloss Furnaces Plaque - a photo on Flickriver

Sloss Furnaces Plaque

            Each structure of the abandoned Sloss Furnaces still has a brass plaque to give directions. Interestingly the original etchings of workers are decayed and have water stains but on the other half is the newer information to explain the operations for tourists to the site. I can't imagine how hot it must have been working in a Southern city where normal summer temperatures can reach 100 degrees F. Then add the heat coming from stoves as hot as 1400 degrees. And the two men on the plaque are smoking!!! The site was built in 1882, closed in 1971, and is now a National Historic Landmark. Birmingham, Alabama.
