You see images of these stacks often. This one from the parking lot by the movie theatre. All that is left of the US Steel Homestead Works- a dozen smokeless stacks.
Homestead Smokestacks at Night

Stunning photo — beauty and history all wrapped up in light and memory!!!
That is a beautiful picture.
they look like baseball bats
I adore this photograph–quintessential Pittsburgh exhibiting the transition it has undergone.
Someone from out of town thought they had been built as sculpture – did not believe they were part of the industrial complex once there. Part of the confusion for him was that they were so nearly perfect. I wonder if they were extensively repaired or resurfaced? If so, then they are new-old.
Beautiful shot! You always seem to pull out the best of only a good picture!
I love this perspective. Our stinky stacks in Sharon put a lot of meals on the kitchen tables and sent many of us to college and a cleaner job market. God Bless our dads!
Nice picture.
I love looking at these, especially from different angles.
I worked where the chimneys are .They were the ingot soaking pits of the 45 Inch Slab Rolling Mill.
33 ton ingots were heated and squeezed into slabs through rolls and cut tu length for later rolling into plates
Thank you for sharing your experience with all of us.
That is the way they were built. I worked at the 45 in 1967,68, and 69
I’m so glad you found the photo of the smokestacks and wrote today.
