ABOUT THIS IMAGE
Taken January, 1940. Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States
(Library of Congress)
"As far as I know, nobody has managed to positively identify the street in which Delano took this photograph. After much investigation I found a positive match on Lawn Street in South Oakland, which was then adjacent to the Jones and Laughlin Steel plant, which Delano quite rightly referred to as the 'mill district'. By 1926, South Oakland and Hazelwood had the largest number of coke ovens anywhere in the world, utilised to produce over two millions tonnes of steel."
– Jordan J. Lloyd
This historical photograph has been meticulously researched and rendered into colour from a black and white original by a skilled artisan, continuing a craft tradition that has existed since photography began.
