I think the Edgar Thompson Works is still there in Braddock as a US Steel mill. It still runs with two blast furnaces just upriver from Pittsburgh.

I think that was Andrew Carnegie's first steel mill built from the ground up.

Must have been interesting to live in this area in the 1960s and 1970s when mills like that lined the rivers.
