Robesonia, PA, United States
Robesonia Furnace. Founded 1794 as Reading Furnace by ironmaster George Ege. In 1845 Henry P. Robeson expanded the furnace, spurring establishment in 1855 of the town of Robesonia. Although the furnace itself ceased operation and was razed in 1927, the Georgian-style ironmaster's mansion, Italianate
office building, workers' houses, and other structures survived. The district is located one mile south of here.
