  Is this one of the two Nitrate plans built in Muscle Shoals as part of the Muscle Shoals Project authorized under the National Defense Act of 1916 and later rolled into the TVA?

  This photo has been blogged to Old Steel, New Library of Congress on Michigan in Pictures. It's so great to see my all time favorite web site becoming a part of my all time favorite community site! Much as I love Detroit’s rich industrial history, I really hope that you can put a few photos from elsewhere in the state, including some that highlight Michigan’s natural beauty! In any case, you are very cordially invited to add your Michigan photos to the Absolute Michigan pool!
