Nothing's forever...

Carrie Furnace, a derelict remnant of Homestead Steel Works, in Pittsburgh, was named a historical landmark a few years ago, and is set to be renovated as a museum sometime in the near future (although, how near that is may change with the current economic status). I recently came across some photographs of the furnace, showing the decay and graffiti that has peppered the remains of the furnace that created the skyscrapers in many of America’s cities.

What I really want to know is if this deer was built before or after the furnace was de-commissioned in 1983.

EDIT: It was an effort by several local artists in the early 1990′s.  They used materials that they found on-site.
