Wouldn't a 21st century historian love to journey back to that old iron works and view the incredible arsenal of scrap iron that was destined for the melting ovens! The article above from an 1867 copy of the Daily State Gazette tells of the iron works and the photo at the right is a rare and beautiful clear 1891 engraving of the historic Swamp Angel as it reposed at the intersection of Perry Street and No. Clinton Avenue.
