Histerie: Ironworks Square Tour- Adaptive Reuse In Action With Preservation Erie

Tour the in-process Ironworks Square, an adaptive reuse project that is transforming the former Erie Malleable Iron Company manufacturing complex into a vibrant mixed-use destination. Once a cornerstone of Erie's industrial economy—producing iron castings that supported railroads, construction, and national growth—the historic foundry buildings are being rehabilitated to preserve their brick exterior walls, steel framing, and industrial character. Ironworks Square blends office, light industry, restaurant, and community spaces, demonstrating how preservation and reinvestment can honor the city's manufacturing legacy while supporting new economic life. The project stands as a powerful example of how Erie's industrial past continues to shape its future. Register by emailing info@preservationerie.org. Advance registration is required. Attendees will be required to sign a waiver and wear a hard hat (provided) for the duration of the tour. https://events.erielibrary.org/event/16744531
