Bethlehem Steel
de Andrew Garn
"Many of the world's most impressive built structures - from the Chrysler Building to the George Washington Bridge to the Panama Canal locks - as well as many of America's battleships, railroads, and automobiles had their origins in the Bethlehem Steel Corporation's plant in eastern Pennsylvania. Although all manufacturing activities at the plant ceased in 1998, plans are being made to convert certain buildings into a Steel Heritage Museum."--BOOK JACKET. "Photographer Andrew Garn has been documenting this leviathan, itself a monument to industrial architecture, throughout the 1990s. His photographs, reproduced here in duotone, capture the essential quality of this potent symbol of our industrial heritage. Along with the archival images and drawings in this volume, they illustrate the architectural and technological innovations of the Bethlehem Steel plant. Also included is a brief history by Lance Metz, the historian of the National Canal Museum and the foremost authority on the history of the plant."--BOOK JACKET.
