Industrial Behemoth at Sunrise in Alameda, California
These silos near the waterfront of San Francisco Bay are no longer used for storing cement. Previously owned by Santa Cruz Portland Cement Company, they received cement from near Santa Cruz and shipped it out from Alameda via train on the Southern Pacific Railroad, or by truck or ship. Now owned by a construction company, the property is underutilized due to an environmental cleanup issue involving an underground tank, per an online article. The cement company ceased operations in this location in 1966.
