The McKeesport site has undergone a variety of ownership. It was originally founded as the National Tube Co. by financier JP Morgan. When the Morgan group acquired assets of Andrew Carnegie “Carnegie Steel Co.” the site became part of U.S Steel.
This site was developed in 1915 by the Dravo Corporation. These 18 acres of land were used as a sand, gravel, and coal terminal. It supported the loading and offloading of coal/coke/slag. Dravo later sold the site.
It’s a privilege to be able to be part of the sites rich history, and an honor to be able to bring purpose back to the land.
