Making Way for New Pipe Mill at National Tube – June 1958

Back when Lorain was defined by its steel mill, the goings-on at the plant was of much interest to its residents and consequently was covered in great detail by the Lorain Journal.

That’s the focus of the photo and caption below, which appeared on the front page of the Lorain Journal on June 13, 1958.
