Notes
  • Significance: The town of Rock Run, primarily built to house and support the employees of the Rock Run furnace, is typical of the industrial towns scattered through the South at the turn of the century. While the early twentieth century town contained a school, commissary, numerous houses, and a relatively large charcoal furnace, only about 15 houses and the commissary have survived. One of many furnaces located in Alabama in the 1800s and early 1900s, the Rock Run furnace is said to have been the last charcoal furnace in the U.S. to have been blown out.
