About this product

Product Information

A collection of images celebrating the extravagant and historic mansions of Pittsburgh, PA. In the 19th century, the positioning of Pittsburgh as a major manufacturing center and the subsequent rise of the area's steel industry created a wave of prosperity that prompted the beneficiaries of that wealth to construct extravagant residences. Wealthy enclaves sprang up in the city's East End, across the river in neighboring Allegheny City, and into the countryside. Pittsburgh's Mansions explores the stately homes of the area's prominent residents from the 1830s through the 1920s. Businessmen such as H.J. Heinz, Henry Clay Frick, and members of the Mellon family commissioned elaborate homes from the preeminent architects of their day. Firms such as Alden & Harlow, Janssen & Abbott, and Rutan & Russell left their marks on the city's landscape, often contributing iconic public buildings as well as expansive private homes. Though many of the residences have since been lost, Pittsburgh's Mansions offers a look back at the peak of the city's prominence.

the sticker on the front was no big deal at all. the seller was upfront about it in the description which i appreciate. it came off easily with a bit of alcohol and scraping. there was a rip in the package when i received it, but i know that wasn't the sellers fault- definitely the post office. shipping was quicker than i expected and the book is in amazing condition. super excited to start reading since i just finished the first book and the price? such a great deal and find! seller is fanastic

    My house is bigger than yours!

    I grew up in Pittsburgh so when I see a book regarding the Pittsburgh area I usually pick it up. This is a fascinating book if you are from the "Burgh. A lot of the homes of people that you often hear mentioned in regards to Pittsburgh have pictures of their mansions in the book. Why someone needs a home that is like 20 rooms is beyond me but some of these homes are beautiful! I now live in Nebraska and haven't been back to Pittsburgh since July 1989. My dad still lives there and he also has a copy of this book. His wife has a friend who grew up in one of the mansions in this book. Even if you are not interested in Pittsburgh just from an archaeological stand point this book would be interesting.
