Circa 1868

Henry Musselman and Henry Watts built the Musselman Furnace in 1868. It was the last of eight anthracite furnaces built on the river floodplain. Later known as the Vesta Furnace, it was remodeled several times. In 1917, E.J. Lavino put it into operation producing ferromanganese used during World War I. The furnace ceased operations in c. 1930 and was dismantled soon thereafter. This building was used as an office building throughout its furnace operations.
