The company plans to find a more visible, permanent location for the star as the property is redeveloped. By 1961, the Club as we know it today was completed.

For decades, employees and their families lived in company-owned housing at a nominal rent, and they built a community that those who grew up there still recall fondly.My father was born in the company town of Sparrows Point—his father, grandfather, and uncles all worked in the mills. Based on the memories of those who have lived there, it is understood that the lifestyles of both workers and their families – from annual community parades, company football and baseball games to strikes, hardships and life-threatening conditions – were profoundly shaped by the mill, a phenomenon that spread even further over the course of the 20th century into the surrounding areas of Dundalk, Edgemere and the historically African-American neighborhood of Turner Station, to name a few. Between then and 2012, the mill underwent several changes of ownership, and consequently the workforce diminished to roughly 2000 personnel at its end.

In these early years, houses for the workers were built and the company town of Sparrows Point blossomed. The development of the Pennsylvania and Baltimore and Ohio (B&O) railroad lines at the turn of the 20th century not only helped to transport resources and products in and out of “the Point”, but helped to bring in workers from numerous neighborhoods in Baltimore city, the surrounding county, as well as from all over Maryland, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Virginia, and North and South Carolina, and as far away as Trinidad and Tobago.
The highest wage jobs were reserved for white men until sustained activism by black steelworkers led the federal government to issue two consent decrees in 1974, mandating equal opportunity for people of color and women.When the World Trade Center fell in 2001, Bethlehem Steel was on its deathbed; the company filed for bankruptcy soon afterwards.
