View of Port Richmond Iron Foundry complex from the Delaware River. Complex includes the main foundry (left), machine shop (center), and the boiler shop, which sits on a wharf (right). View also shows operating smokestacks, a large hoist on the front of the wharf and another inside the fenced courtyard. I. P. Morris began operating the iron works in the 1840s, after relocating his business from 16th & Market Streets.
