Significance: In 1904, the John A. Roebling's Sons Company began construction of the Kinkora Works, a state of the art steel making, rod rolling, and wire drawing facility. During their ownership (1904-1953), the Roeblings implemented many of the significant developments in wire making at Kinkora while producing the wire used in some of America's most noted engineering achievements, including several prominent cable suspension bridges. The lasting family control over the Kinkora Works and nearby worker village offer a unique view of an independent steel and wire mill in an era and industry dominated by corporate conglomerations.
