Reverberatory Furnace
This is the reverberatory furnace at the Quincy Smelter; the only remaining smelter on the Keweenaw. I was graciously given a tour by one of the officers of the Quincy Smelter Association. This smelter was used to purify the natural copper mined nearby at the Quincy Mine. The site is currently being rehabilitated and stabilized. A very informative description of the smelter works can be found at: www.coppercountryexplorer.com/category/quincy-smelting-wo....
Photographed on Kodak Portra 800 using a Nikon F100 and the Nikkor 18mm f/4 lens.
