Pairing vinatge photos with the same view today Pittsburgh Then and Now shows the dramatic transformation of Ameroca's steel town into a modern metropolis.

Pittsburgh rose to industrial prominence thanks to an easy supply of coal and limestone, and by the Civil War the iron industry was thriving. Andrew Carnegie made his fortune here and Pittsburgh became the steel town, endowing Allegheny County with some architectural masterpieces.

In the late twentieth century, the steel industry went into steep decline and the city has reclaimed these sites in an astonishing transformation. Pittsburgh Then and Now shows how much the city has come on its journey to a new economy.

Sites include:Views from Mount Washington, Smithfield Street Bridge, Monongahela Wharf, Bouquet's Redoubt, Union Station, Sixth Street Bridge, Forbes Field, PNC Park, Duquesne Incline, Eliza Furnaces, Polish Hill, Fifth Avenue, Carnegie Institute, Cathedral of Learning, Phipps Conservatory, Pitt Stadium, Luna Park and Highland Park.

Title: Great addition to your library!
Review: After taking a river cruise, my interest in our city's history piqued. I bought this for my husband as a reminder of our trip and we both have really enjoyed it. You can pick it up and then come back to it. The comparison photos of then and now are awesome. My mother has lived in and around Pittsburgh all her life and she loves history. She'll be receiving a copy by Christmas, if not sooner! It can be a coffee table book or one for discussion starting. If it is out, it will be picked up and looked at. Enjoy it, Burgh Buffs!

Title: Lovely pictures, nice trip down memory lane
Review: I bought this book as a Christmas gift for my grandfather who grew up and lived most of his life in Pittsburgh. The photos are gorgeous, big, clear and it's neat that they took the same picture decades later. The descriptions of why things were designed one way or why they changed, etc. are interesting to "normal" people, not just archetects or city planners. My grandfather reads some of it every night and loves it.

Title: Love this book!
Review: I lived in Pittsburgh as a child many years ago and really enjoy the pictures and descriptions. I love the layout with old pictures and newer ones of same location on opposite pages. My 97 year old mother lived in Pittsburgh for much of her life and this book brings back so many memories for her. Thank you, Mr. Kidney!
