These demolished worksites reside in our collective memories. We know what made here meant and to know this, is to understand who we are.

Wheeling-Pittsburgh Steel went into bankruptcy twice in 1985 and 2000. Esmark bought then sold the mills to Russian-based Severstal who idled the plant in 2009. 2011 RG Steel bought the plant then sold to Herman Strauss Inc. who demolished the facility in 2013.
