In 1944, Fort Pitt Steel Casting Co. won the Maritime Commission "M" award for war production. This prestigious award was issued during the world's greatest shipbuilding effort. This facility, later renamed McKeesport Steel Foundry, created parts used in maritime construction and was a division of the nearby Pittsburgh Steel Foundry & Machine Co. located in Glassport, PA.
A fenced and rusty perimeter, overgrown with young trees, hides the industrial treasure trove located within. Time and space is represented as rusty relics and dust on idle silhouetted machinery. The personality of tradesmen is revealed in postcards, lockers, and workstation trinkets left behind. Tools, schematics, and detailed molds suggest the art of sculpting casts from wood and metal. Thousands of those dusty castings can still be found on-site. Fort Pitt Steel Casting is a time capsule that is abundant with the history of our regional past.
