HAMPTON FURNACE

[KARL]

HI GANG,
WHEN I WAS LAST AT THE SITE OF HAMPTON FURNACE, I NOTED THE STEPS LEADING FROM A CELLAR TO THE FIRST FLOOR,OR WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE FIRST FLOOR.............SURPRISINGLY IT WAS COMPOSED OF WHAT LOOKS LIKE PENNSYLVANIA FIELD STONE.........SINCE THERE ARE NO REAL ROCKS LIKE THAT IN THE BARRENS............IM SURPRISED THAT EVEN THE OWNERS HAD MONEY TO SHIP ROCKS TO HAMPTON FURNACE.............OR MAYBE SOME OF YOU K NOW A PLACE NEARBY WHERE THEY COULD HAVE PICKED UP THE ROCKS............MOST ABOUT THE SIZE OF FOOTBALLS.........PRESS ON,CARL

Karl,

Are you talking about the cranberry warehouse at Hampton Furnace?

There is not a cellar there as far as I know. But in any event, the structure is not as old as the furnace was, so maybe the cranberry men who operated the place in later years had some money.
