This is the foundation of the cast house of the Cranberry Furnace in Johnson City. The foundation is there, but the sand floor used for making the pig iron castings is long gone. In fact, this and the blacksmith/grinding building are all that are left of this once thriving furnace. If you look closely, you can see my trusty yard stick (I never go shooting without my yard stick) standing there right on the corner of the foundation. The foundation was stone with a formed concrete top edge. Steel girders that held up the metal shed cover were bolted to the concrete and stone. The bottom of the girders are still attached and the girders have been cut off with a cutting torch. This whole deal is at the end of Fairview St., right beside Johnson City Chemical Co., makers of chemical fertilizer. This area is also now covered in mica, as the furnace area was turned into a mica crushing operation after the furnace itself was dismantled.
