TOTAL ACTUAL COST: $104 million 2001 The site is completed. HISTORY The steel production on the northern region was owned by Benjamin Franklin Jones. In 1853 Jones merged his operations with the South Side’s American Iron Works, which was co-owned by the brothers Bernard and John Lauth. This resulted in the formation of the Jones and Lauth Company. When the Lauth brothers sold the corporation to a banker named James Laughlin in 1863, the company took the name Jones and Laughlin Company. In 1887 a bridge connecting the north and south shores of the Monongahela River was constructed to transport the hot pig iron manufactured on the northern shore to the processing facility in the south. This bridge known as the Hot Metal Bridge has been renovated for vehicular traffic presently. J&L was, by far, the major competitor to the Carnegie Steel, the top steel producer at the time.

  • PDP's 2018 Annual Report
    1 You may notice just the slightest silver metallic sheen to this report and that is entirely by design. Twenty-five years ago, the Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership was formed by business owners and community leaders who had a passion for Downtown. They loved this neighborhood and knew that it could become a dynamic destination for visitors, employers, workers, and developers alike. A place where people would want to live, where they would experience culture, art, sports and recreation, and appreciate amazing food and drink like nowhere else in Pittsburgh. A spot where a small business could grow and thrive, and where an innovative start-up could take root right next door to a Fortune 500 company. To ensure this vision came to fruition, these leaders established the PDP. Initially, our services were small, but important. We worked to ensure that Downtown was clean and safe, and we still do today. Just as the city has evolved, so has the PDP. We produce more programming than ever before, ensuring Downtown is vibrant and exciting not just during the regular work hours but on nights and weekends. We advocate for excellent transit options with safe and accessible routes for all and have expanded our work to look at the neighborhood around us and consider how we can provide the best, most beautiful and interesting experiences for everyone coming to Downtown. We continue to shout from the rooftop, not to mention every social media platform available, all of the news about Downtown! So, as we celebrate our Silver Anniversary, we decided not to spend too much time looking back.

  • QUEST for PITTSBURGH FIRE DEPARTMENT HISTORY James Waldo Fawcett
    QUEST FOR PITTSBURGH FIRE DEPARTMENT HISTORY James Waldo Fawcett proper history of the Pittsburgh fire department exists, and it is possible that none ever can be produced. The materials Noare missing. Fires, floods and human carelessness have destroyed them. Now and again the need for such a book is expressed by a public official or an antiquarian scholar interested only in the philosophical aspects of the theme. In recent years it has been suggested several times that a fire department history be written by a person familiar with the subject from having, like Shakespeare's dyer, worked in it. The difficulty involved, however, soon was realized to be, in effect, insuperable. It simply is not feasible to make an authentic, truly useful history out of non-existent data. But some primary documents still survive and are available. In 1945 The Historical Society of Western Pennsylvania staged an ex- hibition of relics of the big Pittsburgh fire of April 10, 1845. It ob- served the centennial anniversary of that conflagration not only by displaying souvenirs of the disaster but also by publishing a 40-page pamphlet of carefully garnered facts about it,including a comprehen- sive list of descendants of citizens whose properties were destroyed. Most important, though, was evidence brought together in this booklet to indicate that the 1845 holocaust was of a sudden incidence and of a devastating violence so dynamic that no firefighting organiza- tioncould be effective against it. The story of the disaster that reduced to ashes nearly one thousand buildings and their contents is not an account of what resistance there was to the firebut rather an admission of the sober truth that the flames raged unchecked for seven hours.

  • Guiding Change in the Strip
    Guiding Change in the Strip Capstone Seminar in Economic Development, Policy and Planning Graduate School of Public and International Affairs (GSPIA) University of Pittsburgh December 2002 GUIDING CHANGE IN THE STRIP University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public and International Affairs Capstone Seminar Fall 2002 Contributing Authors: Trey Barbour Sherri Barrier Carter Bova Michael Carrigan Renee Cox Jeremy Fine Lindsay Green Jessica Hatherill Kelly Hoffman Starry Kennedy Deb Langer Beth McCall Beth McDowell Jamie Van Epps Instructor: Professor Sabina Deitrick i ii MAJOR FINDINGS This report highlights the ongoing nature of the economic, social and environmental issues in the Strip District and presents specific recommendations for Neighbors in the Strip (NITS) and policy makers to alleviate problems hindering community development. By offering a multitude of options for decision-makers, the report can serve as a tool for guiding change in the Strip District. Following is a summary of the major findings presented in Guiding Change in the Strip: • The Strip has a small residential population. As of 2000, the population was on 266 residents. Of these residents, there is a significant income gap: There are no residents earning between $25,000 and $35,000 annually. In other words, there are a limited amount of middle-income residents. Furthermore, nearly three-quarters of the 58 families living in the Strip earned less than $25,000 in 1999. These figures represent a segment of the residential population with limited voice in the development of the Strip. There is an opportunity for NITS, in collaboration with the City of Pittsburgh, to increase the presence of these residents in the future of the Strip.
