Thaddeus Stevens and John Paxton built this structure in 1837 as part of the Caledonia Iron Works. It was destroyed during the Battle of Gettysburg, and was rebuilt and functional until 1895. In 1938, the Works Progress Administration undertook structural renovation and historic restoration work at this site, which is now open to visitors.
