This machine shop floor sits inside the former Inland Steel works at ArcelorMittal's Indiana Harbor plant in East Chicago, Indiana. Inland Steel built the complex along Lake Michigan in the early twentieth century, and US Steel's later merger folded it into what is now ArcelorMittal's Indiana Harbor operations. Tool cabinets, scrap metal, and shop debris still sit scattered across the concrete floor beneath rows of broken factory windows.
