Cambria Iron Rolling Mill around 1860 or so. In the foreground - the area where Roosevelt Blvd is now. Across the bridge is the old Rolling Mill. Many time rebuilt and as you can see here - still built in wood - they would later rebuild it all in brick after one too many times of having to keep rebuilding it - they finally learned their lesson. The only building left standing from this picture to this day is the structure just across the bridge on Iron Street - arrow pointing down. I do believe this was taken before the old blacksmith shop was built because I don't see it on here - but that's not the say it might not be tucked away behind something else. Just wish the picture was of clear quality.
