W. A. Young & Sons Foundry & Machine Shop - Visit Greene County

William A. Young built the machine shop in 1900 on Water Street, on the banks of the Monongahela River, later expanding with the addition of a foundry. The business produced parts for steamboats, coal mines, World War I and World War II, and locals. When it closed in 1965, the building was locked, leaving all of its tools, equipment, and machinery in place- a perfectly preserved representation of the transition from the 1800s village blacksmith to the large machine shops of the 1900s.
