Bethlehem Steel Stacks, Bethlehem, PA
Once one of the world's largest steel producing companies. The company founded in 1857 closed in 2003. Many factors led to it's demise - competition from imported steel, changing uses of construction materials, depressed economic conditions, and rising labor and pension costs.
Today the steel stacks still stand and an elevated walkway runs along the length of the former plant that's open to the public.
The property is adjacent to the Wind Creek Casino, Hotel and Outlet Stores. There's also an event space and an arts center.
And a big thank you to flickr contact/friend
MTSOfan for meeting me for the photo walk of the site.
