Source document Quoted word for word from HAER OHIO,50-YOUNG,4B-. Not written, edited or summarised by this site.

0.1 mile north of Poland Avenue Youngstown Mahoning County Ohio Unknown. Demolished. The Republic Iron and Steel Company installed a United-Tod twin-tandem compound steam engine and a Mesta- Corliss cross-compound steam engine in its blooming mill building at its Youngstown Works to operate a 40" blooming mill. Typical of steam-powered engines operated in concert with the rolling and shaping of steel in late- nineteenth and early-twentieth century steel mills, these engines were among the few survivors in the United States prior to their demolition in Gray Fitzsimons, This documentation project of Republic Steel's steam engines at its Youngstown works was undertaken in conjunction with a larger HAER study of the nation's major steel mills.

The assistance of Roger Robertson and Harry Young of the Stationary Steam Engine Society was invaluable in alerting HAER to the impending demolition of the site and obtaining access to the Youngstown works.
