We are always interested in where the steel we use comes from. Turns out the big I beams that hold up our building came from three different steel mills. Carnegie and Cambria were in Pennsylvania and another from Illinois.
Imagine back in 1899, the train rolls into Kaufman with these huge I beams, they are then transferred to a dray wagon pulled by a 4 to 8 team of horses or mules. Those strong animals then hauled the steel a few blocks down a dirt road to the building site. That was quite a journey!

Getting things done, despite the ice!

127 years ago, some very strong men were hard at work building this building. When they took a break, they’d sniff a little American brand S***f! Found this today, while peeling back the layers!
