Scope and content
Work continues on the construction of a new plant for Bethlehem Pacific Coast Steel in Seattle on January 3, 1958. The plant's steel frame is already in place while Lorain Cranes are employed to aid in further steel erection. Bethlehem Pacific Coast Steel provided the steel necessary for many local projects, including the new Tacoma Narrows Bridge and Alaskan Way Viaduct. A series of progress photographs, some sepia-toned, were taken on behalf of Bethlehem Pacific Coast Steel for later usage in the company's annual report. $25 million was allocated for the Seattle expansion program. This included new finishing facilities and two new 100-ton electric furnaces. (TNT ad 1-2-58, B-8)
