Waterways - Calumet River Life Saving StationLocated between the U. S. Steel South Slip and the EJ&E RR swing bridge across the Calumet River was the site of the original South Chicago lighthouse. The location was later used as the site of the U.S. Life Saving Service (later Coast Guard) South Chicago Station. This building was used as living quarters for the station keeper and area lighthouse keepers. The Coast Guard moved to Calumet Park in 1934, and the site remains in the possession of the United States Government and Army Corps of Enginers. The property was surrounded by the huge South Works steel mill. The photos show the building in its heyday and shortly before it was demolished (1963).

Aerial view drawing "Wisconsin Steel Works, East 106th Street, Chicago was started by the Deering Harvester Company and developed by International Harvester after Deering joined in the formation of Harvester in 1902. Its blast furnaces, open hearth ovens, and mills provide pig iron and steel for many of the Company's operations. Its products are also sold to their iron and steel users. Wisconsin Steel occupies about 202 acres of land, has its own slips and docks for incoming raw materials, and employs about 5,000 people. Two company-owned ore boats, 'The Harvester' and 'The Internation' regularly transport ore from Lake Superior ore loading points to Wisconsin Steel." View northeast over Torrence Avenue.
