Overview

As seen in this bird's-eye drawing from c. 1920, there were eight buildings composing the Seattle-Astoria Iron Works: An office building, testing department shed, pattern shop, pattern warehouse/carpenter shop, storage building, blacksmith shop, main iron works production building and foundry. This Seattle-Astoria Iron Works produced cans and canning equipment for the fish-packing industry. This factory had a rail spur to load materials into boxcars and a dock on the Duwamish to enable transport by ship. In 2016, the Seattle Iron and Metals occupied this address.
