Robesonia Furnace PA1597 Print E-mail

Founded 1794 as Reading Furnace by ironmaster George Ege. In 1845 Henry P. Robeson expanded the furnace, spurring establishment in 1855 of the town of Robesonia. Although the furnace itself ceased operation and was razed in 1927, the Georgian-style ironmaster's mansion, Italianate office building, workers' houses, and other structures survived. The district is located one mile south of here.
U.S422 (Penn Ave.) at Freeman St., Robesonia. Berks County Pennsylvania.
