Product Description
As part of the popular Then and Now Series, Pittsburgh is celebrated with archival photographs shown alongside specially commissioned contemporary images of the same scene. We find that the evolution of Pittsburgh over the last century has produced a compact urban landscape of older buildings blended with more recent architectural development. Downtown, the office blocks are still punctuated by traces of Pittsburgh's industrial heritage-the so-called "sliver" warehouses-mingling with the conveniences of modern city life. Over 100 photographs are featured in this amazing view of a fascinating city.

 Great tribute to the Steel City! July 27, 2008
I have been to Pittsburgh and enjoyed the marvels of the Steel City. This book pays tribute to the city's past and present in the form of now and then pictures. It showcases all the changes through the years. A good book to look at if you live in Pittsburgh or perhaps planning a visit!
 Not as in depth as I would have liked January 27, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Although the photographs were interesting, I was hoping for a little more in the way of what remained, why a building didn't remain, the history of the buildings, etc.
Great Coffee Table Book! January 3, 2008
This book is great for anyone who is a diehard Pittsburgh fan! Photos were great and well displayed. Is there a second edition?
Great Book August 16, 2007
Great book for a over all view of Pittsburgh, but if you are looking for specific areas find another book.
Comparisons are good. March 30, 2007
This book places Pittsburgh as it was then on the left pages, and as it is now (although not quite up to date) on the right hand pages. I found it fascinating. There were many names I found from old Pittsburgh that have been used in the city since I can remember - and without this book perhaps I would not be able to clarify how they came to be used. Great resource for anyone who is is Pittsburgh architectural history lover. The Pittsburgh History and Landmark Foundation does a great job with all the books they publish/publicize. For more about Pittsburgh in book form, go to their website[...]Pittsburgh is a great city that has a lot of valuable architecture, and fortunately, a lot of it has been saved thanks to organizations like Pittsburgh History and Landmarks. This book is definitely worth buying.
