| Bethlehem Steel, Bethlehem, PA in 2007 |
My great-grandfather, Carl Gustav Nordstrom, worked at Bethlehem Steel in the early 20th century. Doing what, I'm not exactly sure. I only remember vague terms like "engineer" mentioned. The plant, like so many others, has fallen on hard times in recent decades. Read this article, At Bethlehem Steel: A New Life for a Rust Belt, from the Architectural Record to learn about an arts complex that has recently been completed in this former industrial complex. I wonder what my great-grandfather would make of all the changes?
