| theclio View of the plant upon its completion in 1922 "A leader in the research and development of nickel alloys, Huntington’s Special Metals facility, commonly referred to as simply the 'nickel plant,' has engineered and processed nickel products since it first opened in 1922. The plant began as a facility of the International Nickel Company (INCO), which dominated the American nickel market for much of the early twentieth century. The $3.5 million, 130-acre facility was to be a fully integrated nickel processing mill, with melting, refinery, rolling capabilities, along with laboratories for research and development." This plant also did work with nuclear material for the war effort.
