Overview photograph of the Bethlehem Steel Works Franklin mills in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. Large slag piles are located in mid-ground, a dam at the extreme right and isolated stack and storage tank on hillside.

The Franklin Mills were built by the newly re-organized Cambria Steel Company in 1898. The mill was purchased by the Midvale Steel & Ordnance Company in 1916, which in turn sold the mill to Bethlehem Steel Company in 1923. Bethlehem Steel closed the mill in 1992.
