Another photo from our 1981 visit to Fayette State Park. Fayette's housing, like most places, was segregated by class. The laborers lived on the hill beyond the blast furnace, which can't have been a really desirable location. None of those dwellings seem to have survived. White collar, technical, and supervisory staff lived out on the peninsula across the bay from the blast. Most of those folks lived in houses like these, several of which did survive. Note, though, that the survival involved lots of work; one extensive round of maintenance was, as you can see, occurring during our 1981 visit.
