found the underground

since 1882




there's an entire underground system of these wheeled metal baskets on conveyer rails. i still haven't figured out if things from upstairs came down here or vise versa...




FACTOID: David Giles built the Chattanooga Foundry and Pipe Company in 1882. This facility was the South's first pressure pipe shop to use the pit cast method. At the time of its incorporation to US Pipe in 1899, it is estimated that U.S. Pipe produced approximately 75% of the production capacity in the United States.
