STEPS TO THE STARS

The Mayer Building located at 1501-1509 State Street is a majestic structure just south of the 15th railroad bridge. Built in 1899 it has served as a manufacturing site for men's clothing and other products as well as a retail outlet for items ranging from food to wall paper. It is built with steel manufactured by the Lackawanna Steel Company in Scranton PA, the second largest steel company in America at the time. The Stairway is constructed from Pennsylvania slate and is said to be the tallest such structure in the state.

For $100, a commemorative plaque will be placed on a step with the dedication of your choosing.
