Carolina Steel began in Greensboro in 1919 and was known for bending and modifying steel to use in factories and commercial buildings. As the nation’s need for roads and bridges expanded, Carolina Steel made steel girders for highway use.  Changes in the economy precipitated a reorganization of the company. As best we can tell, if the Carolina Steel still exists, it is a subsidiary of Hirschfeld Industries. To the right of this brick building is a metal building with a sign for the business, ONEAL, The Metals Company.

At any rate, the building is still standing strong and flying the flag on Elm/Eugene just south of downtown. If anyone knows more about Carolina Steel, please send information our way. We just loved the way that simple font and bold title situated this little slice of Skywatch Friday sky over Greensboro!
