Pickands Mather iron ore docks - Cleveland 1902
The massive Pickands Mather & Co. iron ore docks in Cleveland, Ohio, in May 1902.
They existed along the south shore of the Old Channel of the Cuyahoga River. That's along what is now River Rd., between Division Ave. and Mulberry St.
This is city-owned land, and Pickands Mather leased that property in 1890. The New York, Lake Erie & Western Railroad had tracks bordering the river here. The docks were between the tracks and the water.
The docks were still there in the 1950s, but not long for this world.
