Lucy Furnace was a pair of blast furnaces in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on the Allegheny River in Lawrenceville. The furnaces were part of the Carnegie Steel Company, with the first furnace erected in 1871 by brothers Andrew and Thomas M. Carnegie, Andrew Kloman and Henry Phipps Jr.[1] This furnace was the first one built new by the Carnegies.[2] In 1877 a second furnace, Lucy No. 2, was built at the same site.[3]
Lucy was named after co-owner Thomas M. Carnegie's wife.[3]
