The Beautiful Blue Skies above Lucy Selina Furnace

Lucy Selina Furnace

Lucy Selina Furnace L-5. This furnace was built in 1827 by Ironmasters John Jordan and John Irvine and was named for their wives. During the Civil War, iron produced here was used in the manufacture of Confederate Munitions.

    As a native Virginian (now in Florida) I'm always interested in learning more about VA history! Great shots of the furnace smoke stacks(?)!!

    Genie, Sorry it has taken so long to get around to "visiting". So glad my daughter's wedding is over!!!! Thank you for all your lovely comments--I do so appreciate them. I will be soooo glad when Spring comes to stay--ready to take some nice "flower photos". I love the furnace and the wintery scene you have taken--very nice. I wanted to tell you how impressed I am with the work you are doing in your job--it sounds like you are making a huge difference in a lot of kids lives. Such a challenging and demanding job, but one that brings many rewards. Retirement is certainly something you deserve, but I know you would keep just as busy if you retired as you are now. Have a great weekend. Mickie :)

    How interesting -- I'm clicking from my Google Reader and have to admit I really wondered at the title, wondering why you'd take a picture of a Furnace and why it would have such a pretty name. Thanks for this history. And of course the lovely pictures.
