The Bessemer Converter, a towering relic of Pittsburgh's industrial past, stands as a testament to the city's steelmaking heritage.
Located at Station Square, this massive piece of equipment is a reminder of the Bessemer process, a revolutionary method for producing steel that transformed the region.
This particular converter, originally installed at the A.M. Byers Company in Ambridge, Pennsylvania, was one of the last commercially operated Bessemers in the United States. It offers visitors a glimpse into the industrial might of Pittsburgh's steel industry, which once fueled the nation's growth.
Today, the Bessemer Converter stands as a striking monument to Pittsburgh's industrial past and a symbol of the city's enduring spirit.
