  • Description
  • A performance by the United States Steel Company’s Homestead District Works Male Chorus. United States Steel Company’s Homestead District Works, the largest steel mill in the Pittsburgh District during the late 1940s, produced approximately 3.8 million tons of steel ingots used in the manufacture of finished and semi-finished steel products. Beams and piling produced from its structural mills were used in the Empire State Building and the Oakland Bay Bridge. The blast furnaces at the Homestead District Works consumed about 300 carloads of raw materials a day; potential electric power generation at the District Works was enough to sufficiently serve 360,000 homes; and 76 locomotives hauled materials over the facility’s 150 miles of track. Approximately 14,000 men and women worked in the 450 buildings on the 430 acre site located in Homestead, Pennsylvania.
