The massive J & L/LTV South Side Works dominated Pittsburgh’s South Side for more than 100 years. Then it was gone. The large rolling mills were dismantled and the furnaces scrapped. The site became a moonscape of brick and twisted metal scrap as it waited to be reassembled into the South Side Works, a retail and residential community.
