Abstract
Hoods over grinding wheels provide safety for workers and are probably at an operational site of the Huron Portland Cement Company. The Company began operations on the north shore of Thunder Bay, Michigan in 1901 and was producing cement by 1907. By 1910 it had become the largest cement producer in the world, using limestone quarries around Alpena and Rogers City. The Company was purchased by the Lafarge Corporation in 1986 and continued to operate in Alpena.
