Indiana Harbor coke plant building photograph   Save
Youngstown Sheet & Tube Audiovisual Archives
Description: This photograph depicts a towering building with a sloped bridge at a coke plant. It may be a raw-material elevator. Coke plants burn coal in order to purify it and transform it into coke; then, blast furnaces burn layers of coke and iron ore to produce pig iron, the first step of the steelmaking process. This photograph is from the Youngstown Sheet and Tube Company Audiovisual Archives, so it likely depicts a Youngstown company plant. View on Ohio Memory.
