Circle the base of a goliath restored furnace, pass in the shadow of towering blast stoves, and thread your way between giant smoke stacks. End your walk with a short loop hike in a field lined with curious iron sculptures. Looking over at Sloss Furnaces as you drive across the First Avenue viaduct into downtown Birmingham, this bastion of industry represents both the roots and wings of the Magic City. Without the vast iron ore, coal, and limestone deposits located in and around Birmingham, today this city might well be nothing more than a place to buy gas between Montgomery and Huntsville. Donated to the city in 1971 by the Jim Walter Corporation, Sloss Furnaces is an official city museum, as well as a National Historic Landmark. On the grounds of Sloss, the Historical Society is housed in the Duncan House, which was relocated here from nearby Tarrant City. As you walk toward the viaduct, pass a row of shotgun houses built for furnace workers and the Historical Society on your left. [参考] |
