The smokestack that is just north of the intersection of Niagara Falls Blvd and 59th St. was part of Great Lakes Carbon, which used to occupy the site. Image from Google Street View.
The connection between this smokestack and the Kennedy Family doesn't get a lot of publicity. The company was founded by George Skakel. He would have a daughter named Ethel who would marry into the Kennedy Family, marrying Robert Kennedy. He would be assassinated while campaigning for the U.S. presidency in 1968. They had a son named Robert Kennedy Jr., who is now the Secretary of Health and Human Services.
