Steel Plant

Here is a view of one of the steel plants near downtown Cleveland:


You can see the plant from the nearby shopping center, and up the hill on your way to Tremont. There are several steel plants close together in this area, and most of them are no longer major steel manufacturers, but I believe at least one of them still operates on some level.

This is a symbol of one of the things that brought our ancestors to this country at the turn of the 20th century - a relic of the industrialization of the United States.
