Abandoned Weirton, WV Steel Mill
Weirton Steel is one of my favorite abandoned places and is absolutely massive. It is or was one of the most intact historic steel mills left in the US but unfortunately is now being completely torn down. I went back today probably for the last time ever. Most of these photos were from today but a few were from a couple of years ago. Most of the mill was abandoned in the early 2000's, although a few buildings were used until just a couple of years ago. Most of the mill was built in from 1909-1929.

Very cool educational video on Weirton Steel from 1969.
