Stacks Facts The two largest furnaces are more than 230 feet tall From the west side of the “A” furnace (most westerly) to the east side of the “E” furnace it’s approximately 1,100 feet – almost a quarter-mile! The A furnace is the oldest, dating from 1915 The furnaces each produced 2,600-3,000 tons of iron per day. Producing one ton of iron requires 3,366 pounds of ore, 1,676 pounds of coke and 724 pounds of limestone Most of the iron was used in steelmaking, but a small percentage went to the iron and ingot mold foundries Steel produced by Bethlehem Steel was used in the construction of some of American’s greatest landmarks, including the Golden Gate Bridge and the Chrysler Building. The furnaces were last operated Nov. 18, 1995 At one time there were seven furnaces Bethlehem Steel offers three unique walking tours: Steelwalkers Walking Tour, The Rise and Fall of Bethlehem Steel Walking Tour, and a self-guided option. Each tour provides an in-depth look into Bethlehem's history and the pivotal role Bethlehem Steel played in shaping it. https://www.steelstacks.org/events/tours/
