  • Ramed by a Sleek Glass Elevator Descending from Pittsburgh's Theater Square Parking Tower, the Scene Below Exudes Artsy Sophi
    12 12 building TPittsburgh’s Cultural RUST Trust, manager of a downtown district that houses $200 million worth of philanthropic dreams, has had immeasurable success as an artistic presenter. Now, as it blows out the candles on its 25th birthday, there is a recounting of its history as an economic developer and one inevitable question: What now? by Christine H. O’Toole photography by Joshua Franzos ramed by a sleek glass elevator descending from Pittsburgh’s Theater Square parking tower, the scene below exudes artsy sophistication. The linden trees on Katz Plaza have leafed out, shading the Faudience at a late-afternoon jazz concert. A calming gurgle of water trickles down a looming Louise Bourgeois sculpture. An electronic signboard teases for the Broadway-birthed “Legally Blonde,” playing at the Benedum Center, a landmark grand theater. A block past Heinz Hall, the home of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, aproned waiters sweep the sidewalks in front of storefront bistros. H.J. “Jack” Heinz II, described as a man of “stratospheric elegance” by Tony O’Reilly, his successor in heading the legendary H.J. Heinz Co., would relish every aspect of the neighborhood now known as the Cultural District. He would love its Euro-style panache, but he also would appreciate it as the worthy product of a vision he conceived in the late 1960s and turned into reality through his philanthropic leadership at The Heinz Endowments. A drab outdoor parking lot was reborn in 1999 as Agnes R. Katz Plaza in Pittsburgh’s downtown Cultural District. Katz was the matriarch of the family that had majority ownership in Papercraft Corp.

This volume recognizes Heinz’s pivotal work, not least by publishing yet another increment to his own forty-year corpus of scholarship.
