 * Comments I have found about Martin Tower from Facebook, instagram, etc.!

............................................................................................................................................................................
 * Martin Tower: where I worked with D&B / RMS for 10 years
 * Martin tower- worked there many years
 * It's across the street from where I work. It's martins tower. I used to work in there.
 * Martin towers loved working there
 * My mom used to work in the cafeteria, they had an awesome baker, named Amel, he made my sixteenth birthday cake. That's my memory of Martin Towers
 * the old Bethlehem steel hq.. my dad's Siberian husky ran away from home many many years ago and was found at the top floor of that building
 * are you serious? Everybody knows what building this is!!!!
 * My mother worked there until she started having problems in her wrist and back from sitting at a computer for 8 hours.
 * Most of my family worked for the steel. The exec floors were unbelievable back in the day


 * Well that is absolutely awesome. I would pay to be able to check out the inside.
 * My dad helped construct that building. We can see it from our kitchen window and he always talks about what a sight it was from on the roof whenever he visits.
 * How do you get a tour?? Love that building! They should turn into apartments or something, so so sad to see such a neat place sitting empty  http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110904041806/messaging/images/8/8a/Emoticon_sad.png
 * That's awesome! We were in one the maintenance rooms and saw construction drawings and photos from when they were building the tower.
 * The developer is working on converting the tower into residential, likely with some commercial/retail on the lower floors. Also townhomes on the surrounding property which is 52 acres.
 * The annex was a great little building too. Doesn't get as much love because the tower is so cool.
 * If I'm not mistaken, there were going to be two identical towers. The annex was going to connect them. The annex was going to be gym, cafeteria, and private dining rooms, etc.
 * Y ou are correct, sir! I'd never heard about a second tower before the tour yesterday but our tour guide confirmed it.
 * The proper name was "Martin Towers"... I had asked why towers was always plural... That's when I found out there was supposed to be two. Bethlehem Steel refused to drop the "s", they always held onto it, I guess hoping that the second tower would be built. LOL *sigh*
 * I worked in it. I have been in every space from the former security office in the basement to the top floor and over in the annex, with the downstairs mall area. I believe the theater is over in the annex too
 * Right inside the main lobby is a double- bank of elevators. Some haven't worked for many years and those that did work were notorious for breaking down. In the annex, most of the original walls have been covered by movable temporary walls and in the tower, much has been broken/removed over the years. Everything from door knobs to bathroom fixtures have the Bethlehem Steel logo etched into them.
 * Yep, my grandmother worked there, and over off 3rd st as a clerical worker 35 years ago, and I went to work with her a few times. The lobby at MT always had lollipops.

 * “I have been a lifelong resident of Bethlehem. For the first time in my life i am embarrassed for Bethlehem by what has happened here. I get it. Sometimes numbers dont work and it’s just not feasible to preserve history. However this time I feel like there wasn’t even an effort. Martin Tower was doomed from the day it was sold. They played the song and dance about removing asbestos but destroyed the building in the process. I guess they couldn’t get enough taxpayer money to do it right. There was never any intention of preserving it. Every employee of Bethlehem Steel was proud to say they worked for such a great company and the tower proved what a powerful company it was. Martin Tower was a gift to the city from “the steel” and showed the class that we had. It showed that the employees of Bethlehem Steel were proud of their hometown. Now its being thrown away. Some say its a symbol of greed and should be demolished but what they dont realize is those same greedy executives are what made the city tick at the time. If it was another huge company tearing it down to build their headquarters there I would be happy. But to destroy a beautiful building and replace it with the hideous modern shopping centers of today only to provide minimum wage retail jobs is a shame. The mayor and anyone who allowed this to happen should be ashamed of themselves. The developers obviously dont realize where greed will get you. Shame on you! Bethlehem Steel had their name on something amazing. No matter how much money you have you will never have your name on something as powerful as Martin Tower.”
