The main mill operated along a roughly 22-acre lot along the eastern portion of the Chicago River in the Lincoln Park neighborhood for over 112 years before being demolished.[5] The Lincoln Park location was Chicago's oldest steel mill.[6]

In 2006, it bought the site of the former Verson Steel on Chicago's South Side.[7] It was purchased by a German company in 2008, and has since operated from that location.[8]

In 2016, real estate developer Sterling Bay purchased the Lincoln Park site for a sum believed to be over $100 million[9] and renamed the site to Lincoln Yards.[10]
