| Summary: | This book contains over 100 photographs of company properties in Jefferson County, Alabama, which appear to have been taken by the T.C.I. Land Department from 1910 to 1915. (The name "E. H. Gary" is stamped on the cover, apparently a reference to Henry Gary, the president of U.S. Steel, for whom the album was likely compiled.)
Subjects depicted include power houses; dolomite quarries; surface plants; coke screening plants; culverts, bridges; blast furnaces; ore yards; and workers' facilities such as commissaries, baths, housing, schools, and hospitals. Of particular interest are images of the miners' check weighmen, night school classes at Ensley, and the T.C.I. Band at Ensley. The following communities are represented: Bayview, Docena, Edgewater, Ensley, Fairfield, Fossil (now Wenonah), Ishkooda, Ketona, Muscoda, and Pratt Mines.
