The above link is to a Google book (A Treatise On Chemistry) that gives a very good review of the chamber process for creating sulfuric acid. The description begins on PDF page 440. It is contemporary to the time period and has several illustrations of the manufacturing facilities. I have reviewed several other period references and they are essentially the same in there descriptions of the manufacturing process. My continued discussion will utilized the information learned to make educated guesses as to how these buildings looked as I have not been able to locate any photographs of the Carbon Works.
