Notes
  • Significance: While information about the Central Coal and Iron Foundry site is limited, this site appears historically significant for three reasons. Central Iron was once the largest soil pipe plant in the United States. It was also the first fully integrated pipemaking operation in the United States with a coke plant, blast furnaces, and foundry located on the same site. The still operating coke plant is potentially National Register eligible. Since the foundry was shut down before the federally mandated changes of the 1970s and 1980s, a comprehensive inventory of the foundry portion of the site could reveal that significant early features of the plant are still intact.
