      Metal Arts At Sloss Furnace

      Written by

      Sloss Furnace, a National Historic Landmark, produced iron in the city of Birmingham, Alabama for nearly 90 years and was responsible for defining Birmingham as a prominent industrial hub in the South during the 1880s. With its massive smokestacks, pipes and cathedral like proportions, the site is a prominent feature on the Birmingham skyline and an important cultural icon for the City. Today, Sloss Furnaces is a not for profit cultural, educational and entertainment destination and subject of a recent PBS special, Sloss: Industry to Art.
