The unique Roman Arch really sets Olive apart from the other iron furnaces in Ohio. It was constructed so workers could easily reach the top. There was another arch in the rear that supported the boilers.

The Mt. Olive Furnace Park Corporation is going to restore this iron furnace in the near future. From what I understand, it will be similar to the Buckeye Furnace, meaning that all of the original buildings will be reconstructed. This non-profit organization is depending on grants and donations to make this a reality. If you would like to help, you can send a check or money order to the address below.
