ALCOA Laboratory (Flickr Explore 12.30.2016)
Looking more like the hallway in a mental hospital, this is a hallway in the former ALCOA Laboratory in New Kensington. While ALCOA was best known for making aluminum that was used in everything from pots & pans to aircraft, during WWII, ALCOA was also involved in the Manhattan Project, where they developed a welding process to encapsulate uranium 235 slugs in aluminum casings for use at Oak Ridge, Tennessee.
