Geneva in the day...

Geneva steel plant, built in Utah — far from enemy bombers — to supply arms for the Good Fight, was demolished 2005 and will soon be the site of a mixed-use development. But thanks to vintage photo web site, we can see Geneva in its infancy, in Kodachrome, no less, by Andreas Feininger.

Geneva, Utah, 1942: Partly finished open hearth furnaces and stacks for a mill which will soon be producing vitally needed steel.
Note that while wars and steel mills and mixed-use developments come and go, Utah's mountains remain.
