History and architectural features edit
This complex includes the remains of an historic iron furnace, barns, stable, storage sheds, grist mill, and bake ovens. The furnace was built in 1791 along Sacony Creek and once stood thirty-two feet high. Adjacent to the mill is a one-and-one-half-story stone dwelling that was built in 1798. In 1814, a two-and-one-half-story rectangular, stuccoed, stone mansion house was added. It is five bays by two bays, and has a gable roof with dormers. Also located on the property is a one-and-one-half-story, stone company store and storekeeper's residence, and a two-and-one-half-story stuccoed stone granary.[2]
