Sheridan Furnaces, E.J. Lavino & Co. (Sheridan, Pa.) ca. 1932. View of a furnace built in 1862 by the Berkshire Iron Company. The furnace was converted to anthracite in 1867, and rebuilt at later dates. A second furnace was erected in 1874. Note the name of Lavino Furnace Co. on the locomotive. E.J. Lavino & Co. purchased the plant in 1916.

In this photo of the Sheridan furnace you can see where I lived in the large apartment house very close the the railroad tracks 1940s and 50s. |
When E.J. Lavino bought this company, he converted it to manufacture ferromanganese, "
which was about 85 percent manganese, 15 percent iron, and 5 percent carbon" [

In case the land gets redeveloped.
I ended up with a tradeoff between smoke obscuring the mill and resolution, so I got three aerial photos. Since I got them, I include them.
