Musselman - Vesta Building



(rivertownes.org) - The Musselman - Vesta Office Building is the only intact structure that remains from the furnace complex. (This excludes the nearby buildings on Furnace Road and Donegal Place which are now private homes.) Marietta Restoration Associates, in collaboration with Rivertownes, PA USA, is managing the restoration of this building, with plans to restore it to its original 1880's condition. Potential uses for the restored building include a diorama-type museum showcasing the local iron industry, as well as canal, railroad and lumber business history.
