Steel Heddle Manufacturing Company Complex

Steel Heddle Manufacturing Company Complex is a historic factory complex located in the Allegheny West neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The complex consists of four buildings: the Plant (1919, 1925–1927), Main Office (c. 1919–1922), Chrome Plating Building (1951), and Lumber Storage and Garage (1930). The Plan is a five-story, "U"-shaped, reinforced concrete building on a raised basement. The Steel Heddle Manufacturing Company manufactured heddles and other textile loom accessories. The Philadelphia plant remained in operation until 1983.
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2010. In 2018, NBC10 erroneously reported that the complex was destroyed by fire, but the buildings that burned were a block away and unrelated to Steel Heddle. The vacant Steel Heddle plant still stands in 2019.
