When we built steel mills- 1953

A cool vid of the Fairless works going up. In the mid to late 70s I remember family boat rides up the Delaware river, often past the mill and marveling at the scale of it all. It was pretty amazing for a 4th grader.
After seeing the vid, I checked google earth and very little remains.
Remarkable how fast it came and went.
