    This is beautiful! It's so nice to see a color picture(!) of this facility, looking all clean and well-maintained in its heyday.

    Let me correct peaceocake's comment. The company which was bought by a Russian firm was Rouge Steel, originally part of Ford Motor Company, and is approximately 3 miles from this facility. It's now Severstal Steel. Great Lakes Steel (pictured) was in bankruptcy when it was bought by US Steel in 2003, and now known as the "Great Lakes Works". The plant is currently in operation, with many of the same employees. This photo shows a portion of the ironmaking facility, located on Zug Island. The gas holder was torn down years ago.

    My dad worked at Great Lakes Steel from sometime in the 1950's to about early 1970's. He was hurt in an explosion there on Memorial Day, 1972. I have looked everywhere on the internet for info on that explosion and cannot find anything. Does anyone remember that explosion and have any info on it? Thanks.

    Wow, so much history. Boxcars being used to haul grain. Rolling stock from (now) long gone railroads.

    My first time seeing what my grandfather's farm used to look like. Lot different looking when I was born. Great Photo!

    chris.neville: Glad you found this image of your grandfather's farm! We also have two other related images in the black-and-white portion of the Farm Security Administration Collection. One is of your grandfather's farm, and one is of the man himself. I'll provide links to their records in the Prints & Photographs Online Catalog: The small farm of John P. Collins in Taunton Massachusetts Mr. John P. Collins, vegetable farmer of Taunton, Massachusetts Enjoy!

    I can't thank you enough for posting these other two photos. My grandfather passed before I was born, and it is great to see him and the farm in this awesome way. Thank you again!

    Just a footnote: Surname was Klonis which was changed to Collins, (americanized), once he arrived from Greece.
