59-crop0073.jpg A nice view of the Polymer Plant on a moon lit night in summer. On May 6, 1951 at 10:25 pm there was a large explosion at the plant which in the days of the Cold War, was almost thought to have been a nuclear attack. Some windows were broken on the Port Huron side of the river.

The fire was within the tall cracking towers on the left of the main building.
