Update: A valued reader provided the name of the company. The business has been renamed Venator, apparently, and continues in other locations. The buildings in these photos have now been demolished.
East St. Louis used to be an economic power house, full of factories, stockyards and power plants creating a cloud of smoke that hung over the city.? I cannot remember what this factory made, but perhaps a reader might know.
Chris this was the Rockwood Pigments East St. Louis Plant. They manufactured additives, binders resins, and pigments used for aints and coatings, printing inks, plastics, glass and ceramics, synthetic fibers, building materials, personal care products, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and agriculture product.

Where have they moved too and is this property for sale?
Rockwood Paints is now part of this corporation:

I imagine every property is for sale at the right price.
