Great photo. Almost everybody walked or took a trolley or bus to work in the mill back then. The Aliquippa works of Jones & Laughlin Steel stretched for 7 miles along the Ohio River 25 miles from Pittsburgh and employed 15,000 people at its peak. The town of Aliquippa was built by the steel company and each ethnic group had its own neighborhood.
