The Blacksmith Shop, now better known as the Copper Shop, was built in 1902. Much of the iron used throughout the interiors of the many other buildings on the Roycroft Campus came straight from this shop, however, later on copper became the more used metal on the campus, and it was used in the construction of furniture and hardware. The Blacksmith Shop was another building in which Hubbard chose to use the local boulders. Whereas the Chapel used red terra cotta roof shingles, the Blacksmiths appear to be much more brown. Once copper really took off as the preferred metal on campus, an additional new wing was added to the building. The new wing was built out of cement block, and it created more space to facilitate the production of more copper.
