Full Overview

A poetic documentation of a place, and culture that is being lost to redevelopment and time. Industry has "gone over seas," and The Bethlehem Steel Plant is currently being demolished to make way for a casino. Steel workers at the plant forged the Chrysler Building, the Empire State Building, the Golden Gate Bridge, and armaments for WWII. No longer functioning, Bethlehem Steel is a symbol of the larger history of American industry, and Ritchie Check worked there for over 30 years. Written by Anonymous
