Water Wheel
Image taken at Tannehill SP.
This wheel & gear (or ones similar) drove a blower that supplied a large volume of air to the blast furnace just on the other side of the building. I assume it is likely the only part of the structure in this image that is original are the layers of rock foundation without concrete. History indicates that the orginal buildings at the Tannehill Ironworks were burned and the equipment destroyed or damaged beyond repair by Northern troops at the end of the Civil War.
