Amanda Steel Blast Furnace, Ashland, KY
The Amanda Blast Furnace of Ashland, Kentucky existed for six decades between the Kentucky hills and the Ohio River. Since its days as Armco Steel Works, Amanda, a 234-foot tall blast furnace was a proud company that never anticipated its permanent closure in 2015.
"We hate to see the structure come down, but that needs to happen for that property to move forward," said Josh Blanton, an Ashland City Commissioner. "We hate to see it go, but we’re ready to try to do something else there."
"Amanda" was demolished in February of 2022. #abandonedky #historic #blastfurnace #industrialarcheology #nightphotography #lightpainting #longexposure
