This district encompasses five contributing buildings, one contributing site, and one contributing structure. They are the iron furnace stack (1789), a stone and frame bank barn (c. 1830-1860), the manager's house and office (c. 1830-1860), a blacksmith shop (1854), a charcoal house (c. 1850), a stone dam, and a small stone house (c. 1830-1850).
