AMONG OTHER DESTINATIONS, SUCH CORE LANDMARKS AS THE CARRIE BLAST FURNACES NOS. 6 AND 7, PINKERTON'S LANDING, THE PUMP HOUSE AND WATER TOWER AT THE SITE OF THE FORMER UNITED STATES STEEL HOMESTEAD WORKS, AND THE W. A. YOUNG FOUNDRY AND MACHINE SHOP AT RICES LANDING ON THE MONONGAHELA RIVER, ILLUSTRATE THE MAGNITUDE OF THIS STORY.
