In this 2007 interview, Melvin Rose, son of founder Martin Rose, and current president of Rose Iron Works, talks about his family's iron works business in Cleveland since the early twentieth century. He also talks about a competitor, Samuel Yellin. Most of this short interview, however, consists of a discussion between the interviewer and interviewees about producing a story of the Rose Iron Works for the coming kiosks to be place along Euclid Avenue as part of the GCRTA Euclid Corridor project.
