DESCRIPTION |
ILASCO, MO - This is a panoramic long
distance view of the Atlas Portland Cement Company's employee town known
as Ilasco. The majority of these buildings housed immigrant workers
and their families. The immigrants came primarily from central and
south central Europe. Although Ilasco was technically a
"company town", the actual land upon which the town sat was not
owned by the company ; therefore, within the environs of the town, the
company had only nominal control. |
