FIDELITY—A HERITAGE OF TRUST SINCE 1886 The Statue of Liberty was unveiled in New York the year Fidelity first opened its doors for business. Grover Cleveland was serving as President of the United States. It was in 1886, too, that the American Federation of Labor was organized, right here in Pittsburgh. And that same year, Fidelity customers were reading the news about the defeat of Geronimo, the Apache Indian chief; and mystery lovers thrilled to A. Conan Doyle’s first Sherlock Holmes novel. What has given Fidelity its important place in Pittsburgh’s history since that long ago opening day? What has made it one of America’s 100 largest banks? Trust! Mutual trust between a bank and its cus- tomers; a bank conceived, founded, and built on faith in Pittsburgh’s future. A bank pledged to help new Pittsburgh grow.

THE STORY OF A CITY...AND A BANK T a time when business was at a stand-still in Pittsburgh, when our young city—and our young nation—labored under panic conditions, a group of local businessmen decided to organize a bank. The year was 1857. The bank then organized is now The Union National Bank of Pittsburgh. The city and the bank grew and prospered together. For the bank served the iron and steel foundries, the glass and textile plants, a wide variety of pioneer businesses, many of which have since become great basic industries. It is gratifying to know that the serv- ice of this bank has been and is now an important factor in the maintenance and further development of those business organizations which have contributed so greatly to the growth of our city and our nation. In 1859 the bank occupied the building at Market Street and Fourth Avenue, shown above. Since 1906 its offices have been located on Fourth Avenue at Wood Street. The high standards and the record of success set by the original founders of The Union National Bank of Pittsburgh are now and always will be cherished as a proud heritage by the officers to whom the guidance of this 101-year-old institution is entrusted.

CWS od CWS oO S contributors to this publication, we give due credit to Gen. Forbes who founded the first settlement, the early settlers and the hundreds of thou- sands of Pittsburghers who followed them and developed this city to its present position as one of the leading communities in the world. We hope this book will, in some measure, pay well-earned tribute to the many merchants, industrialists, bankers, etc. whose confidence in the city’s growth gave them the courage to invest in her future. We are sincere- ly grateful to the public officials and civic-minded individuals who gave so unstintingly of their time, intelligence and effort throughout the years to make this a cleaner, healthier, more beautiful city in which its citizens could live a fuller and more satisfying life. We extend our thanks to all the peo- ples of the world whose acceptance of the products of the city’s labors has contributed so much to Pittsburgh’s progress. And so, to all the millions of people, of Pittsburgh and the rest of the world, who have made this Bicentennial cele- bration possible, this book is gratefully dedicated. : Lhe Cdilors PITTSBURGH BICENTENNIAL 1958-59 THE PLTTSBURGH BICENTENNIAL IMAI PITTSBURGH: KEY TO A NATION’S FUTURE COMO CAMO BUILDING A CITY COMI CAM) FIRST BUSINESS: FIRST SERVICES COMNAD CAWD RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT CARAS CAM.

This occupation was to have much greater significance in determining the shape of things to come than any mere military victory. It meant that genera- tions of still unborn Americans would speak English as their native tongue instead of French; it meant that they would develop customs, cultures and a concept of government peculiarly Amer- ican, different from anything before An early view of The Point at the confluence of the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers. known. It is somewhat difficult for us, stand- ing as we do in the midst of the towering structures of gleaming steel and alumi- num that is modern Pittsburgh, to real- ize that the Pittsburgh which received its name on November 27, 1758, was virtually non-existent. It was not a vil- SN nae Fe RE Ill and in pain General Forbes was carried on a litter to accompany his men in their siege of Fort Duquesne. lage; it was not even a representative crossroads settlement. It was little more than a pile of smoking ruins of a de- serted French fort. What magnificent foresight General Forbes was blessed with that he could sit among the rubble and write to Prime Minister William Pitt in London, England to inform that illustrious gentlemen that he, General Forbes, had taken Fort Duquesne and renamed the site on which it had stood “Pittsbourgh.” Through the pages of this magazine we will describe the progress made in establishing a town to go with the new name. As you read, you will see 200 years pass before your eyes—two cen- turies of history in the making during which progress moved so slowly at times it seemed to stand still; at other times, progress was so rapid that Pittsburghers were barely able to cope with the de- mands and problems of an expanding city. Here, then, is the story. QO’ THE DAY Pittsburgh was born, the world was ablaze with the flames of the greatest war it had yet known. The war had begun between British and French colonies in America two years before the mother countries in Europe took up the arms of conflict; the war for mastery of America was des- SR tined to end in a complete and irrevoc- able capitulation of France in 1760, three years before peace was to finally come to Europe. The war in America had started with Britain and France fairly evenly matched: Britain controlled the sea while her enemy was much the stronger on land. At the outset, in 1754, things did not go well for the British. The year of 1755 was most costly, with severe losses RBA S he. = ee a a a SS Ses Ss Sa = — oes e reer ee En S"=> << Ba a. ie CS. : a cS — ~ os e = ey i I ee aitace 5 SS ae rz: S ie a SRE RS Ses. = S . x SS ~ = SSF Re NE =: = Ree x ; J - — | -- in = w ore = SNS ° ~ . ‘ass z ~ ~ mS _ > J = > > ze ~ z. wt ~S \ = GS S - 2 ss; WN ; ‘ — 5 Seen SSO x eae.

In this cobblestone jungle that chokes off the eastern end of the Golden Triangle, Pittsburgh can realize its greatest sociological gain and an important economic advantage. Reconversion means relocation of 8,000 persons; complete disruption of daily habits. But it also holds promise of living on a more humane, spacious scale for the people who exist there now and those who will follow in new apartment dwell- ings and modern commercial buildings. Under the program proposed by the Allegheny Conference on Community Development and the Urban Redevelopment Authority, 95 acres of the slum will disappear. In its place, traces will appear of a new pattern of streets and Crosstown Boulevard and a combination civic auditorium-sports arena with the unique feature of a retractable roof. The roof of the arena will pivot, permitting a starlight setting for the Civic Light Opera and other outdoor events when the weather is good, and folding quickly into a weather- tight dome when it rains. As the project develops in stages, land values will go up. The main business district will have a gentler backdrop, and the crowded masses, gentler living.

But looking ahead, at the next two hundred years, we can’t help feeling that this is still “only the beginning”’ for Pittsburgh—that a far more exciting story of growth still lies ahead.

Wl VMM@CH@CCC€@€CC€@@C!@C@@€C@@@éee 29 YEARS OF COMMUNITY SERVICE JOINT COUNCIL of TEAMSTERS 740 WENTY-NINE YEARS AGO there was born in the City of Pittsburgh a confederation of motor transport and servicing unions dedicated to mutual economic assistance and community welfare. It was christened Joint Council No. 40, International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Chauffeurs, Warehousemen and Helpers of America. Today it embraces twenty-eight powerful local unions with a combined membership of more than 50,000 men and women spread over an interlocking industrial area in Western Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Maryland. In the generally accepted identification of the transport and servicing unions, as collective bargaining units, there is perhaps a tendency to overlook the extremely vital role this body of men and women plays in “around-the-clock” services to the public. Yet there is no phase of the average citizen’s day-to-day existence in which he is not affected beneficially by the unionist behind the wheel of the truck and teamsters unionists who staff the thousands of related enterprises. When disaster strikes, it is the Teamster who is the first to be called upon to perform the motorized evacuation and rescue work. He is, collectively speaking, the main cog in our community defense setup. In this era of motorized warfare, and because of his particular talents, it is his lot to do a higher than average amount of fighting and of dying. He processes, transports and delivers daily, and sometimes under almost inconceivably adverse conditions, the food that we eat, the clothing we wear, and the materials that provide for our shelter and our every convenience. He hauls the mountains of freight produced by our community’s heavy industries and that processed by our community’s light industries. He clears the debris for the city’s huge reclamation programs and hauls in the materials for the new construction. He hauls the equipment for our mines, mills and factories, the food and beverages we consume, the equipment and stock for our plants, our stores, hospitals, institutions, office buildings and other enterprises too numerous to mention here. In any community project in need of his services, the Teamster is always available, and for the most part on a contributory basis. He collects the scrap in time of war and used clothing for the Goodwill Industries without charge for time and service. He is a major contributor to our blood banks and a heavy group investor in government bonds as well as a substantial donor to worthy community charities. When Joint Council No. 40 was formed in 1929 the area motor transport industry was in its infancy and its growth was being seriously retarded by cutthroat competitive practices and similar ills. However, with unionization and the establishment of standard union wage rates and working conditions, the industry in the ensuing years has assumed a stability which is primarily responsible for its present remarkable prosperity and expansion. For our contribution to this community progress, we are justly proud. Motor transport, by tapping hitherto isolated markets, has opened whole new vistas of economic enterprise for the Pittsburgh Community which was previously almost entirely dependent upon the uncertainties of steel and coal operation for its prosperity. In saluting the Community of Pittsburgh on this historical occasion of its bicentennial celebration, we do so as dedicated fellow citizens. In the words of our founding fathers: “..we do not want it thought that our only interest is Labor, because that is not true.” LOCALS No. 30 Jeannette, Pa.

The “floating stage’ for the “Golden Crucible” is 156’ long and 50’ wide. Huge steel girders anchor the barge firmly for its summer- long run at the Gateway Amphitheater.

Certain modifications in historical material have been made in the interest of dramatic unity. Those portions dealing with fictional characters are entirely imaginary, and any resemblance to actual persons, events, or attitudes, past or present, is purely coincidental. AUTHOR — KERMIT HUNTER Poet, musician, teacher, playwright— these are a few of the titles appropriate for author Kermit Hunter. A native of what was at one time Indian Hunting Grounds in West Virginia, Mr. Hunter is steeped in the traditions and culture of the bygone eras of the tri-state community. Upon graduating from Ohio State University, Mr. Hunter received the Vandewater Poetry Prize and continued on to study piano at Juilliard in New York. He received his Master's Degree in dramatic art from the University of North Carolina and has taught in the English department at the University since 1947, He has had three plays produced by the famous Carolina players highlighted by the successful Cherokee pageant “Unto These Hills.” After a series of successful outdoor dramas including “The Bell and the Plow” at Tucson, Arizona; “Horn in the West’ at Boone, North Carolina; “Forever This Land’ at Salem, Illinois: and “Voice in the Wind” in Florida, Mr. Hunter, in “The Golden Crucible” has captured the feeling of pride Pittsburghers and their tri-state neighbors have experienced throughout their 200 years of progress. DIRECTOR — GEORGE McCALMON George McCalmon is a Pittsburgh product who comes back home this summer as Director of “The Golden Crucible” production. Mr. McCalmon, a native of the North Side, is a graduate of Carnegie Tech. and, for some time wag an instructor in the Oakland school of Drama. From Pittsburgh, Mr. McCalmon went on to teaching jobs in Florida and in New York State where he now resides as Director of the Cornell University Theater. A veteran in all phases of the theater, Mr. McCalmon has a wide range of experience in the production of out-door historical dramatic productions. He and playwright Kermit Hunter have worked together before, notably on Hunter's “Unto These Hills” which is produced annually at Cherokee, North Carolina. Mr. McCalmon has been working on details of this production for over a year. He supervised all of the casting and also has been responsible for the fantastic coordination job required among all of the departments responsible for putting on performances of “The Golden Crucible.” In many respects, this production has given Mr. McCalmon unique problems never before encountered in the theatre, notably the use of a barge as a stage for such a spectacular pageant of events. Elements of production, of casting, and of coordination have taxed the imagination and initiative of the energetic Pittsburgher. The results of Mr. McCalmon’s organization talents may well set a pattern for future productions of this type. COSTUMES — ELIZABETH S. KIMBERLY Since joining the Drama Department of Carnegie Tech in 1928, Miss Kimberly has amassed a wealth of knowledge on her favorite subject “Pittsburgh Through The Years.” Therefore, her ingenious costuming of “The Golden Crucible” comes not only from the hand of an expert designer but one who has made a thorough study of life in Pittsburgh over the years. Miss Kimberly has spent the past several summers travelling exten- sively through Europe tracing the modes and manners of our forefathers and her expert handling of this historical costuming down to the small details achieves a realistic feeling of actually being a part of the pageant, rather than viewing it. Currently Miss Kimberly is Associate Professor of Drama at the College of Fine Arts, Carnegie Institute of Technology and a member of the Board of Directors of the Catholic Theater Guild. STAGE DESIGNERS — PAUL TRAUTVETTER The eye appealing backdrops to Pittsburgh's 200 years comes from the imaginative talents of the assistant professor of stage design at Carnegie Institute of Technology, Paul Trautvetter. A Carnegie Tech graduate Mr. Trautvetter joined the Drama Department in 1954 after scenic designing for the American Broadcasting System, Jose Limon Dance Company, The Pittsburgh Civic Light Opera Company and the Pittsburgh Playhouse. Mr. Trautvetter’s monumental achievement in presenting Pittsburgh through her many phases of develop- ment will serve as a basic guide for the theater groups throughout the country who contemplate pageant type productions. LIGHTING DIRECTOR — WILLIAM A. NELSON In the field of stage lighting, Mr. Nelson has been applauded for his imaginative handling of ‘The Common Glory” in Williamsburg, Va. Five years and his lighting designs for the Pittsburgh Wind Symphony creating the effect of flashbacks throughout “The Golden Crucible’ has been a major accomplishment for which Mr. Nelson expertly devised a series of moving effects to highlight the dramatic action. Graduating from Carnegie Tech in 1952, he received his Master's Degree in drama from Yale and is presently assistant professor of stage lighting at the College of Fine Arts, Carnegie Institute of Technology. THE LEAD — HAROLD VERNON GOULD Harold Vernon Gould is a resident of Riverside, California and is one of the very few members of “The Golden Crucible” cast who are not residents of the Pittsburgh area. Gould is a graduate of Cornell University where Director McCalmon now teaches and has had extensive experience in summer theater and historical drama. He portrayed the role of Thomas Jefferson in Paul Green's world famous ““The Common Glory’’ and has a great deal of experience in Shakespearan roles. He has appeared at the Summer Stock Theater in Plymouth, Mass.; the University and Community Theaters at Cornell, the Shakespeare Festival at Ashland, Oregon; and the Community Theater at Lynchburg, Virginia where he won the “Best Actor’ Award two years running. Mr. Gould, who is thirty-five years old, now lives in Riverside, California where he is an instructor at the University of California. He holds an M.A., B.A., and a Ph.D. from Cornell and the New York State College for Teachers at Albany, New York. Aside from his considerable acting ability, Mr. Gould is a strapping six-footer which suits the role he'll play in “The Golden Crucible.” MUSICAL DIRECTOR — SAMUEL THAVIU The music weaving through the production of “The Golden Crucible” is performed by members of the. world famous Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra under -the direction of its talented Concertmaster, Samuel Thaviu. The musical score was recorded in Pittsburgh's Syria Mosque, the home of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. The conductor, in this instance, is one of the most personable and versatile musicians in the United States. Samuel Thaviu is widely known as a virtuoso violinist, as the leader of the brilliant string section of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, and as a conductor of considerable merit. A native of Chicago, Illinois, Mr. Thaviu has the unique distinction of having been a Concertmaster of a Symphony Orchestra from the time he first broke into the symphonic ranks as a young man. Since then, Thaviu has been the Concertmaster of the Cleveland and Baltimore Symphony orchestras but has been the popular mentor of the string section of the Pittsburgh Symphony for more than a decade. Mr. Thaviu is also a member of the Carnegie Institute of Technology Music Department faculty and appears regularly with both the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra and the Pittsburgh Symphony Symphonetta as a solo artist. COMPOSER — JACK KILPATRICK The music for “The Golden Crucible” has been written by Dr. Jack Kilpatrick, one of the nation’s outstanding musical contributors to outdoor dramatic productions. In fact, Dr. Kilpatrick has written the musical scores for no less than six of Kermit Hunter's outdoor spectacles in recent years. A native of Stilwell, Oklahoma, Dr. Kilpatrick received most of his education in his home state but now is a resident of Dallas, Texas where he serves as Chairman of the Department of Music at Southern Methodist University and also as Music Critic for the Dallas Times Herald. Dr. Kilpatrick's talents have been used in a variety of musical ventures. His works have been commissioned by many states in this country, several foreign countries and innumerable musical organizations around the world. His composing talents range from the music you will hear in the production of “The Golden Crucible” to major symphonic works for symphony orchestras, chamber music, choral works and band music. CHOREOGRAPHY — BILL HOOKS Choreographer Bill Hooks is a man with happy feet and a personality to match. It was this young man’s job to audition hundreds of aspiring dancers for the production of “The Golden Crucible’ and even those who didn't make the grade felt the whole thing had been a wonderful experience. Mr. Hooks is also a veteran of the outdoor historical drama business. He has collaborated: with playwright = j Kermit Hunter in a half dozen productions. A graduate of the University of North Carolina, Mr. Hooks is noted for his original dance creations which have been used on television, on the concert stage, and in opera productions. During two seasons as choreographer for the New Jersey Opera Guild, Mr. Hooks staged such shows as “Brigadoon,” ‘Kiss Me Kate,” and ‘‘Finian’s Rainbow.” At the Circle-In-The-Square in New York, he set dance sequences for Jose Quintero's production of “The King and the Duke.’ Mr. Hooks is currently working on 12 choreographers workshop programs for a nation wide tour. CHORAL DIRECTOR — ROBERT G. HAMILTON, JR. The fine choral work which compliments the dramatic action of “The Golden Crucible” is the product of a personable young Pittsburgh Choral Director, Robert G. Hamilton, Jr. Mr. Hamilton, who selected and trained the singers in “The Golden Crucible”’ production, graduated from Carnegie Institute of Technology this year with a B.A. in public performance and a B.F.A. in Music Education. Musically, Mr. Hamilton has been a man about the campus during the past four years. He has been the Student Conductor for the Carnegie Tech Chorus and this year was the Choral Director for the brilliant and witty Scotch and Soda Club production on campus. He also acted and sang in the show which drew rave reviews from Pittsburgh critics. Mr. Hamilton is also a member of Phi Kappa Phi and Alpha Tau Omega on campus and, when he has free moments, gives private instruction in piano and composes and arranges choral music. The twenty-three year old man of music plans to continue his musical studies, concentrating on choral and instrumental conducting and also piano. He will also continue his. work with the Men's Choir of the Church of the Ascension in Pittsburgh. BEHIND THE SCENES HE majority of the people appearing in the performance of “The Golden Crucible’ are residents of the Pittsburgh area. Over four hundred actors, actresses, singers and dancers from this area answered the call for auditions last year. Of that number, about seventy-five were selected for parts in the produc- tion. A special chorus also was selected to augment the cast of players. The “floating stage’ for “The Golden Crucible’ is 156’ long and 50’ wide. The huge steel girders now reaching about thirty feet into the air abovethe barge are in reality anchors which will be rammed into the river-bed aft the point to serve as anchors during the summer-long run of “The Golden Crucible.” The blending of Pittsburgh’s historical past and the people who played their part in the City’s development with Mr. Hunter’s fictional characters actually helped to produce the title of the production. Many names were developed but none seemed fo fit the scope of the historical drama. At last, Mr. Hunter, hit upon the name “The Golden Crucible.” The ‘‘Golden’’ of course, comes from Pittsburgh’s famed Golden Triangle area. The word ‘‘Crucible’’ was used because it is a vessel for mixing and that’s exactly what Pittsburgh has been down through the years ...a vessel for mixing the many ethnic and cultural groups of all nations into one large and dynamic force for progress. At this same spot nearly two hundred years ago, however, the theatre was not nearly as attractive or so ably written and produced. In fact, if you take the word of the sketchy history surrounding the original settlement at the Point, it is easy to imagine that the theatre was, at best, an amateur under- taking. But it is a matter of record that, as early as 1783, our little settlement had concerts, plays, dances and dramatic presentations which were accepted with a great deal of enthusiasm. The earliest account of activities at the Point came from Johann David Schoepf, a German Doctor who found his way to the new settlement under unknown circumstances. In his journal, the good Doctor called attention to the drama produced here and was somewhat amazed to find concerts, balls, dramas and comedies being produced “four hundred miles from the ocean.” While the settlers in the new Pittsburgh were commonly called frontiersmen and were reputed to be of the rough and ready variety, there is evidence that the plays of Shakespeare were produced here before the beginning of the nineteenth century. References are made to Shakespearean productions in the Garrison or at Fort Pitt or at Fort Lafayette. Many of these performances were given by officers of the army stationed here but there is no definite record of any professional troupes in this area around 1790. But for all their talent, apparently the Pittsburgh Theatre had rough going for, in 1814, ads appeared as inducements to potential women patrons. The announcements called attention to the fact that ladies could have front row seats during the Monday and Thursday performances. The production of “The Golden Crucible’ next summer will have little to say about the theatre two hundred years ago, but it will bring to life the color, and the circumstances surrounding the birth of the City of Pittsburgh and, incidentally, the birth of the drama here. Audiences watching the history of their city unfold at the Point next summer will have the added advantage of sitting on the very spot where the battle sounds of the French, the English and the Indians collected two hundred years ago. And with no little help from the actors and actresses on stage, i 10dern-day patrons of the theatre will be transported back to the time when Pittsburgh truly was the ‘“G:steway to the West.” DRAMA COMMITTEE H.

Pending PITTSBURGH: CITY OF LEARNING ‘ rice —— ese | Lae YEARS have witnessed a great expansion in educational facilities in the colleges and universities in Pittsburgh. The University of Pittsburgh has embarked on a multi- million dollar building program which has added important additions to its campus—the Graduate School of Public Health, the School of Health Professions, George H. Clapp Hall, an athletic field house, and a School of Engineering and Mines. Duquesne University is in the midst of the greatest expan- sion program in its history. This includes a faculty house, a women’s dormitory, a law and business hall, a science hall, a general classroom building, student union, a men’s dormi- tory and a field house auditorium. This program, when completed, will help to dress up the Bluff on the fringe of the Golden Triangle. Carnegie Institute of Technology has added a women’s dormitory, a new research center at Saxonburg, Pa., a Graduate School of Industrial Administration—first of its kind in the United States—a new Engineering Hall wing, a school of Printing Management and a men’s dormitory. Carnegie Tech has also launched a multi-million dollar development program to add five new teaching and activity buildings to its Oakland campus. Not to be outdone by their more prominent (nationally, that is) neighbors, Chatham College and Mount Mercy Academy have embarked on expansion programs of their own On the grade and high school levels, school building has grasped the spotlight. The influx of new residents, the rush to the suburbs, the birth boom following World War Il— all have contributed to the biggest school building program in Allegheny County’s history.

MACKINTOSH-HEMPHILL Division of E. W. BLISS COMPANY Pittsburgh 3 Midland Serving the Iron and Steel Industry since 1803 ie 1860, the citizens of Pittsburgh were in a dilemma. On one hand, Pittsburgh was a center of opposition to slavery and secession of the South. Pittsburghers strongly supported the government in Washington in its efforts to hold the union intact; yet they were aroused by a government order which would have taken away the city’s fortifications against attack by Southerners. Military authorities in Washington wanted to move more than 100 cannons from the hills and send them downriver to fortify Gulf ports. In December, 1860, a crowd met to protest the order because the evacuation of Fort Moultrie in South Carolina had convinced Pittsburghers of the imminence of war. This opposition served to stall the loading and shipping of the cannons until the order was countermanded in Washington. When war finally did break out shortly after President Lincoln’s inauguration in 1861, a mass meeting was held in Pittsburgh and a Committee of Public Safety was formed. Troops were recruited, plans were made to feed and equip them, and care was provided for their families. The people who remained in Pittsburgh played just as vital a role during the Civil War as the soldiers who fought on the battlefields. The government-owned Allegheny Arsenal was turning out bullets; the foundries were casting cannons (one foundry furnished more than 1,000); other factories produced clothing, locomotives, freight cars, armor plate, steamboats, gun carriages, wagons, harnesses, blankets, and tents. In 1863, the Secretary of War created the Department of Monongahela and placed it under the command of Gen. T. H. Brooks. Fearing a possible Confederate attack on the city, Gen. Brooks ordered the city fortified. This became a com- munity effort, with workers released from the factories to throw up fortifications on the hills around the city. The militia and home guard brushed up on their military train- ing and Pittsburgh considered itself ready to repel the attack which, fortunately, never came. The war years were full of contradictions—joyous celebra- tions when the news from the front was good, dismay when the news was bad; high prices, high rents, high wages, decaying streets and utilities; gallant soldiers on leave and participating in fancy balls, less gallant soldiers roaming the streets and participating in wild brawls. The end of the war was welcomed with prolonged cele- brations. But this gayety was short-lived. It ended when the news of President Lincoln’s assassination plunged the coun- try into mourning. > rn Profiles a Nlanaks { ittsburgh Biography of a City by Frank Metis and Randy Starr for Narrator and Mixed Chorus with Piano Accompaniment Onty ON RARE OCCASIONS does a music pub- lisher come upon an original composition of monumental stature.

And it was a most successful and fruitful effort, to say the least. During the great Pittsburgh Survey, one of the workers here was Robert A. Woods. It was due in large measure to Mr. Woods’ efforts that the Mayor of Pittsburgh, George Guthrie, appointed the Pittsburgh Civic Commission. This body was the prototype for the present-day Allegheny Con- ference on Community Development and had much the same intentions and utilized some of the same methods of the Conference. The Commission included committees on public sanita- tion, housing, city planning, rapid transit, municipal efficiency, industrial casualties and overstrain, education, police courts, charitable institutions and neighborhood im- provement agencies. It lost no time in getting down to work to achieve its aims for civic improvement—and it began work in a most capable and intelligent manner. The first thing the members of the Commission did was to secure the services of a group of nationally known experts to make studies of the city’s civic needs. The combined report An amazing period of progress in civic improvement. of the experts covered such items of interest as transporta- tion, streets, parks, water supply, sewage disposal, smoke prevention and housing. Later studies instituted by the Commission included tax reform, school unification (at that time, Pittsburgh schools were divided into some sixty districts, each with its own board, tax rate and buildings) and other issues. There has been hardly any improvement of importance in this city during the past half century which was not origi- nally proposed by the Pittsburgh Civic Commission. The only exceptions are the Gateway Center, Penn-Lincoln Parkway and Hill Redevelopment. Among the things to which we point with pride today which were first proposed by the Com- mission are the Liberty Bridge and Tunnels, Bigelow Boule- vard, Point Park, slum clearance, smoke control, our unified sewage system, the 1911 City charter, the unification of our school system, Pittsburgh’s present tax system, the final removal of the Grant’s Hill “Hump” and many others. All of the successful work of the Commission was accom- plished despite periodic changes in civic administration— and much of it against strong political opposition of many types. The Pittsburgh Civic Commission set the pattern for later orgaizations and laid the foundation for all the work which has made Pittsburgh’s progress a model for other commu- nities and cities throughout the world.

This is the international headquarters for the master chefs, scientists, buyers and engineers who bring alive the flavors of the famous 57 Varieties.

F d seivets Shuttle Cars TOMORROW’S ais TO pressure from Pittsburgh’s leaders, the State announced, in 1945, plans to build a 36-acre park at the Point. This area was a commercial slum, criss- crossed by a half-mile of elevated railroad tracks. The Allegheny Conference agreed to co-ordinate the planning and organized the Point Park Committee to work with the Department of Forests and Waters, to which had been as- signed the job of creating Point State Park. Actual demolition work in the area began in May, 1950. To clear the tip of the Point for an 18-acre green belt, the Point and Manchester Bridges were earmarked for destruc- tion. These were to be replaced by the Fort Pitt and Fort Duquesne Bridges, linked by the elevated Point Interchange of the Penn-Lincoln Parkway. Because of Bicentennial activities, some of the changes in the area cannot be carried out until 1960. However, the State is rebuilding the Fort Pitt flag bastion and hopes to start on another bastion sometime this year. When the landscaping is completed, a plush lawn will taper into stone steps descending to a fountain, pool and plaza at the tip of the Point. A 150-foot column of water will fall into a pool 200 feet in diameter. It will be possible to artificially freeze the pool for ice skating. Fort Duquesne will be outlined in stone blocks, sloping upward toward the center to form a pedestal for a scale model of the original fort, which had been destroyed by the fleeing French in 1758. Keeping pace with the progress of Point State Park is Gateway Center. In 1946, the City Council created the Urban Redevelopment Authority and in 1947, the City Planning Commission certified the Point area for redevelop- ment. For the first time in the nation’s history, a commercial redevelopment contract was negotiated by the Authority with Equitable Life Assurance Society. By using its power of condemnation, the Authority ac- quired the land and transferred title to it to Equitable at cost. Starting in mid-1950, Equitable demolished 93 old buildings to make way for a family of towering new ofhce PIVTSBURGH buildings, three owned by Equitable, one owned by the State, and another owned by the Bell Telephone Co. In June, 1956, the Hilton hotel chain announced plans to build a Pittsburgh Hilton, facing Point Park from Gateway Center. The 22-story, 813-room hotel, now more than half completed, will open before the end of this year. The Pitt- burgh Hilton, sheathed in gleaming gold aluminum, will be the tallest concrete frame building in Pittsburgh. A showplace of the Golden Triangle will be Gateway Center Park. Scheduled for completion this summer, the park will occupy a triangle formed by the Bell and State buildings and Gateway No. 4, a 22-story structure on the site of the old Wabash Building. Completion date target for this new building is early 1960. Also in the redevelopment plans of Equitable is a luxury apartment building to be erected on the lot next to the Hilton. Hopes for another midtown park, similar to Mellon Square Park, soared when the Federal Government announced plans to build another office building across from the Federal Building on Grant Street. This clears the way for demolition of the old Post Office once the new Federal building is com- pleted. This is not expected to take place until sometime in 1962, though. After that, it will take at least a year to raze the old Post Office and develop a park. So, the fulfillment of the park idea is about four years away. Since 1945, one-fourth of the Golden Triangle has been rebuilt. Truly, an amazing accomplishment and well-deserv- ing of the nation’s interest in rebuilt Pittsburgh. Reflecting this national interest is the fact that some 200 conventions have been scheduled for this city in the coming year. When the Hilton Hotel and Lower Hill Arena are opened, Pittsburgh will be able to justify its new appeal with really first-class accommodations for all visitors. Today’s Pittsburgh reflects tremendous progress in its redevelopment; Tomorrow’s Pittburgh promises a continu- ation of the program. B* DRIFTING along, cities — like humans — die of old age. Historians will recall the glories of the past, but who is to shape the future? Not too many years ago, Pittsburgh was drifting, and Pittsburghers were creatures of defense — apologizing for the smoke, the floods, the apathy among its public leaders and its influential citizens. The past dozen or so years have brought a remarkable trans- formation. All of us, oldtimers and newcomers alike, are justly proud of our “New Pittsburgh.” Reports of the renaissance have stirred interest throughout the world. Is Pittsburgh’s change due to leadership, good planning, spirited cooperation, the availability of public and private monies; even chance? Actually, it was a combination of all. But most important was the realization that the city was worth saving ... worth rebuilding. This is the fullest meaning of the Pittsburgh Renaissance. There is no end to the renaissance story. We are all aware and proud of our progress to this point, the city’s 200th birth- day. Who can foretell what greater: glories will be celebrated during Pittsburgh’s Tercentenary ?

In that year of the Great Fire, less than 50 iron furnaces BOER were operating in the area which was to become leader in the making of America through steel. When the fabulous Dr. Hussey and his Hussey, Wells BOReose & Co. became the first American manufacturer of cast x1 8 60 MODIS crucible steels on a commercial basis, America and Pittsburgh were at last able to challenge the quality of the world’s finest steels——a monopoly held by the British for over a century. In the same year, James and David Park, two young Pittsburghers, broke ground along the banks of the Allegheny for their Black Diamond Steel Works to produce crucible steels. SPN SIO DAT The year after 80 men of Turner’s Rifles marched off to 1 Q 6 OF war and a year before Pittsburgh was ordered to fortify against invasion, the Park Brothers cast their first heat ROPRORKESR of what was to become world famous crucible steel. Crucible Steel Company of America was formed by BiO00% consolidation of 13 of the leading producers of special 1900 purpose crucible steels in America. Among these were Park Steel Company, the largest crucible steel producer FAR in the country, Howe, Brown & Co. (formerly Hussey, Wells & Co.), Anderson DuPuy & Co. (formerly Pittsburgh Steel Works), LaBelle Steel Co. of Alle- gheny, Crescent Steel Company, Singer, Nimick & Co.—all Pittsburgh com- panies which helped make Pittsburgh the steel center of the world. TODAY special purpose steels are no longer made by the old crucible method. In 1906 Crucible pioneered the way for producing steels of finer quality in greater and less expensive quantities when it produced the first heat of electric melted steel in America. With headquarters in Pittsburgh, and local plants on Smallman Street (Park Works) and McCandless Avenue (Spring Division) to augment produc- tion facilities at Midland, Pa., Syracuse, N. Y., and Harrison, N. J., Crucible looks to continued progress with Pittsburgh in the wonderful years ahead.
