Large site awaiting redevelopment former site of Michigan Steel Works
The original Michigan Steel plant consisted of eight single stand mills with six to be supplemented with soft mills. A machine shop, electric shop, carpenter shop, grease house and general labor building completed the complex. Production began on July 5, 1923, and the mill showed a profit from the beginning because a constant demand for quality steel kept the plant in full operation. Its success led to the idea and implementation of Great Lakes Steel Corporation in 1929 and the 1931 acquisition of Hanna Furnace blast furnace operations at Zug Island.
