ESCO (originally Electric Steel Foundry Company at its founding in 1913) is a "manufacturer of engineered metal wearparts and components for industrial applications - including mining and construction." It has been one of Portland's largest and most admired companies for many years, with its foundry operation in Slabtown, near the site of the former site of the Portland Baseball Club's park at NW 14th and Vaughn. ESCO has now closed its operations at the site, and is clearing it for reuse or sale in the developing Slabtown neighborhood. Here are some photos of the site as it now stands.
