Lorain’s Transformation From Forest to Iron and Coal Hub
The writer recalls Lorain in 1847 as a lumber town with a river crossing, a corduroy road, a brick church, and a grain ware housed by Conrad Heid. A steam sawmill at Globeville produced plank from logs, while forests blanketed the county and land near five dollars an acre. Fifty years later an elevated drawbridge, paved streets, brick blocks, and a growing harbor reshaped the city with steel, iron industries, and bustling saloons. The piece notes changes seen over fifty years and hints at future reports on harbor and industry.
