Summary

Significance: One of several large steel making complexes in the Monongahela River Valley in southwestern Pennsylvania, the Pittsburgh Steel Company's Monessen Works grew from a rod and wire mill to a fully integrated steel making facility with its own coke operations, open hearth furnaces, blast furnaces, blooming and billet mills and, most recently, continuous bloom caster. The firm has been a major manufacturer of seamless tubing.
