Loading Dock

The Atlas D command building. As Brutalist as it gets.

Counter-weighted ore cars alternately filled and emptied to feed Furnace 7. Honestly, though, the corner-mounted cranes are sexier in my opinion. Note the trees growing from the stacks.

Before it was demolished, there was one good staircase the led to the middle of the dock. Trees grew from it.

Identical warehouses seem a little newer than the rest of the plant. I suspect these were added in the mid-1950s for the Korean War, during which about 200 buildings were added to the complex.

Molten copper pouring being a very dangerous thing to do by hand, this scale measured the load for the “Auto Caster” that actually formed the cooling copper in its molds.

I love the ghost sign across these two elevators, originally built as Superior Elevator. It’s looking pretty rough.

The railing were jealous of both the bricks and bits, and chose instead to dissolve like this.

Train-mounted snowplows pushed the snow through the fence and against the old offices.

In a now-demolished building, a skylight begins to separate.
