Oxford Furnace

Oxford Furnace
Oxford, New Jersey (NJ), US
Built in 1741, it was the third furnace in Colonial New Jersey and the first constructed at a site where iron ore was mined. Oxford Furnace operated the longest of any of the Colonial Furnaces, not being "blown out" until 1884. In 1835, it was the site of America's first successful use of the hot blast in which preheated air was blown into the furnace, cutting production time.
