Carnegie-Illinois Steel blast furnaces in Etna, Pennsylvania (1941)

Andrew Carnegie constructed a profitable steel mill at Braddock, Pennsylvania in the mid-1870s. The profits made by the Edgar Thomson Steel Works were sufficiently great enough to permit Mr. Carnegie and a number of his associates to purchase other nearby steel mills. In 1892, he formed the Carnegie Steel Company to manage their business. The new office building was fifteen stories high, and to display the use of steel in its construction, it was left uncovered for a full year. Located in Pittsburgh, the building stood for 57 years, 1895—1952. Demolition of the Carnegie Building commenced on March 1, 1952.

Local competition

The presence of the Allegheny, Monongahela, and Ohio rivers provided a way to transport the heavy materials associated with the steel-making industry. Each plant was located close to or alongside a river. The Allegheny River (historically, especially in New York state, also spelled Allegany River) is a principal tributary of the Ohio River, which it forms with the Monongahela River at the downtown Pittsburghs Golden Triangle point. The river is approximately 325 mi (523 km) long, in the U.S. states...

The seed of the company which became its strongest competitor was sown in 1853. Jones, Lauth and Company established puddling furnaces and rolling mills along the Monongahela at a location a couple of miles (roughly four kilometers) away from Pittsburgh. Bernard Lauth invented and patented cold rolling of iron in 1859. In the same year, James Laughlin constructed Laughlin and Company directly across the river from the Jones, Lauth and Company. Over time, the two enterprises became united under the name J&L Steel and installed their first two Bessemer converters for the production of steel in 1886. 1853 was a common year starting on Saturday (see link for calendar). ...

J&L Steel became the most important competitor to the Carnegie Steel Company and U. S. Steel in the vicinity of Pittsburgh. In 1905 it began the construction of a new steel mill along the Ohio River twenty miles (32 km) downriver from Pittsburgh at Aliquippa. In 1908, it constructed a new 12-story office building in Pittsburgh.

Year 2005

Changes in the manners in which steel is produced had already appeared before the Carnegie Steel Company was sold in 1901. Steel manufacturers had begun to abandon the Bessemer converters and install open-hearth furnaces. Open-hearth furnaces were widely employed until the 1970s when the basic oxygen furnace, electric arc furnace and continuous casting made them obsolete. Currently, employment is extraordinarily low at the remaining plants which have been a part of the Carnegie Steel Company since 1900, though in Braddock the J. Edgar Thomson Works is still active, where hot iron is made and then shipped up the river to the Irvin Works at Dravosburg to be finished into steel. 1901 (MCMI) was a common year starting on Tuesday (link will display calendar) of the Gregorian calendar (or a common year starting on Wednesday of the 13-day-slower Julian calendar). ...
