Harbison-Walker Works (HAER View 4)

Harbison-Walker plant, HAER view 4 — Harbison-Walker plant, HAER view 4Library of Congress HAER PA-242 l07

The HAER survey is an archive of industrial architecture before it all fell apart. These photographs preserve what was built, how it worked, and why it mattered to American industry.

Checked against the record. Photograph citation corrected from an internal credit line to the Library of Congress record, so a reader can open it. The text on this page is descriptive and still carries no source of its own; that is the next pass, not this one.
