Old Pittsburgh
Here's a couple of interesting shots of Pittsburgh from (a) around the turn of the (20th) century, and (b) in the 1930s. The one shot is of downtown Pittsburgh from Mt. Washington, a much different view today. The second shot is from our neighborhood, Deutschtown, looking west. The church with the onion dome (characteristic of Bavarian churches -- our onion domes were removed not long after this shot was taken) in the background is our St. Mary's -- now our Grand Hall at the Priory. The place from where the shot is taken is now buried by a highway, Interstate 279.
