Where are these structures? Scroll down for more information on this site and building history.

The structures The structures that have inspired this exhibition consist of a metal shed (facing 16th and 17th near Mississippi) and a silver metal shed (facing both 16th and 17th and running alongside Mississippi Street) and a red brick building (facing 17th Street at Texas). These structures almost take up an entire city block, and all three buildings are associated with the largest steel making factory on the West Coast (once named Pacific Rolling Mill Co. and later named Judson -Pacific Murphy).
