1940's - 1950's Skyline Photo of Downtown Cleveland   Message List

RE: [ClevelandRails] Re: 1940's - 1950's Skyline Photo of Downtown Cleveland


i Remember some steel mill promo photos from the 80's taken from the Harvard
Denison Bridge. They would have the skyline in the background; probably not
much different from the 50's. Check some steel mill archives.

Regards,

Louis N
