Union Drawn Steel Co. 7th ave Beaver Falls PA became Republic Steel currently Keystone Profiles. Building has a long history dating back to 1866 right after the Civil War when it was founded as the Beaver Falls Cutlery company by the Harmonists of Old Economy.
Brian Stevens: Republic had facilities in Gary, Indiana and Los Angeles, California under The Union Drawn Division.

The Pittsburgh & Lake Erie went right by the plant and the Pennsy had an industrial spur that went over to the plant. Both mainlines still exist, but I don't see any rail service to this plant on the satellite image.
