Allegheny Commons

Allegheny Commons is a municipal park located in Pittsburgh's North Side. The park surrounds the neighborhood of Allegheny Center. Dating to 1867, it is the oldest park in the city of Pittsburgh. History The park was once free grazing land which surrounded the first 32 blocks of Allegheny City in John Redick's 1784 town plan. It was re-made into a municipal park in the 1860s by landscape architects hired by Allegheny City. Allegheny Commons Park has three main parts, all of which are in the Allegheny Center neighborhood: Allegheny Commons Park West Park, Allegheny Commons Park North Park, and Allegheny Commons Park East Park. The West Park portion is the largest of the three, and it has housed the National Aviary since 1952. A non-profit organization, The Allegheny Commons Initiative maintains the park acting as a liaison between it and the city through advocacy, fundraising, and project management. Western Penitentiary From 1826 to 1880, the first prison west of the Atlantic Plain operated in the present day park. It was demolished in 1880. In 1882 a new prison bearing its name was completed a few blocks west, along the Ohio River. Charles Dickens visited the city from March 20–22, 1842, during his American tour. He visited the prison and some scholars believe conditions at the facility inspired elements of the classic A Christmas Carol. The site is famous for housing 118 Confederate soldiers after their capture in Morgan's Raid a dozen miles to the west. It held them from August 5, 1863, until they were transferred to a military fort in New Jersey on March 18, 1864. Although conditions were good for the time, at least eight Confederates died during the winter, one while attempting escape. Gallery See also List of Pittsburgh neighborhoods Notes References

Allegheny General Hospital

Allegheny General Hospital is a large urban hospital located at 320 East North Avenue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It is part of the larger Allegheny Health Network. History Allegheny General Hospital, also known locally by the acronym "AGH", is located in the Central Northside neighborhood of Pittsburgh. AGH was the first hospital in Pennsylvania to be designated as a Level 1 shock trauma center. It was also the first hospital in the northeastern United States to offer an aeromedical service. Now the academic flagship of the Allegheny Health Network, Allegheny General serves as a clinical campus for medical schools including The Duquesne University Nasuti College of Osteopathic Medicine. Allegheny General Hospital began as a 50-bed infirmary, housed in two adjoining brick rowhouses in what was then Allegheny City, immediately north of Pittsburgh. Starting in 1881, the mayor of Allegheny City began meeting with a committee of physicians and prominent residents of Allegheny City to discuss the construction of, and fund-raising for, a new North Side hospital. Three years later, the committee bought two adjacent properties along Stockton Avenue. The hospital was chartered in 1882, and on February 15, 1886, the forerunner to today's Allegheny General Hospital opened its doors. In 1887, the hospital established a children's wing, and in 1889, an ambulance was donated to the hospital; AGH would operate its own ambulance service for the next 64 years. At the turn of the century, the hospital's directors began collecting funds for a new AGH, to be built just a block away, also along Stockton Avenue. The seven-story, 400-bed facility cost $620,000 and opened in 1904. The new space included more modern laboratory facilities: separate rooms for urinalysis, blood work, bacteriology, and autopsies. In 1920, hospital leaders began looking for a new home. New York architecture firm York and Sawyer was hired to draw plans for what would be one of the nation's first "skyscraper" hospitals, and by 1929, construction was underway, just to the north of the Stockton Avenue location. The cornerstone was laid in 1930, but the Great Depression interrupted construction for several years. The 22-story hospital was completed in 1936. Over the years, the hospital expanded, with a new East Wing added. In 1981, a new inpatient tower, the $104 million Snyder Pavilion, was completed. Allegheny General is its highest-volume educational hospital, featuring a 576-bed quaternary care and educational hospital for 24,000 inpatient admissions, 23,000 surgeries, and nearly 56,000 emergency department visits each year. Since 2025, the exterior of Allegheny General has appeared in HBO's The Pitt as the fictional Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center.

Allegheny Islands State Park

Allegheny Islands State Park is a 50-acre (20 ha) Pennsylvania state park in Harmar Township, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania in the United States. The undeveloped park is composed of three alluvial islands located in the middle of the Allegheny River northeast of Pittsburgh. The islands are just north of the boroughs of Oakmont and Plum, and southwest of Cheswick. Bridges for the Pennsylvania Turnpike (Interstate 76) and the Bessemer and Lake Erie Railroad Branch of the Canadian National Railway cross the Allegheny River at the middle island. Islands The park land on the islands has a total area of 43 acres (17 ha), with two islands downstream of the Allegheny River Lock and Dam Three (officially named the C. W. Bill Young Lock and Dam), and the other island upstream. Twelve Mile Island is the farthest downstream (west) and has a number of houses and buildings on the western four-fifths of the island (the park land is the eastern end). The remaining two islands are both uninhabited and have no structures on them. They were originally one island named Fourteen Mile Island, but were split into two parts by the construction of the dam. Today the name Fourteen Mile Island is given to the middle island, just downstream (west) of the dam, and it is the site of the highway and railroad bridges. According to the USGS GNIS, the last island (which was once part of Fourteen Mile Island) is unnamed (although it is still labeled "Fourteen Mile Island" on the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers navigation maps of the Allegheny River.) This unnamed island is the easternmost and the only one upstream of the dam. There are also five to seven shoals near the islands, which are occasionally exposed. Twelve Mile Island and Fourteen Mile Island are named for their distances, 12 miles (19 km) and 14 miles (23 km), up the Allegheny River from the confluence of the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers to form the Ohio River in downtown Pittsburgh. They are two of six alluvial islands in the Allegheny River near Pittsburgh (for comparison, near Pittsburgh the Ohio River has only three islands and the Monongahela River has none). "The large number of islands in the Allegheny is a reflection of the large amount of glacially-derived sediment that was moved by the river." Facilities Allegheny Islands State Park was established on December 31, 1980. As of 2007, it is undeveloped so that there are no facilities, and also no plans for future development. The park can only be accessed by boat. Camping is allowed on the islands and they are open for visits by groups such as the Boy Scouts and Venturing. Allegheny Islands State Park is administered from the Region 2 Office in Prospect, Pennsylvania.

Allegheny Islands Wilderness

The Allegheny Islands Wilderness is located in the Allegheny National Forest. It comprises seven islands in the Allegheny River, totaling 368 acres (149 ha). All are alluvial origin. The islands are located between Buckaloons Recreation Area and Tionesta, Pennsylvania. The Allegheny Islands Wilderness was created by Congress in 1984 as part of the National Wilderness Preservation System. It is one of the smallest wilderness areas of the United States. Flora These islands are characterized by river bottom forest types such as willows, American sycamore, shagbark hickory, green ash, and silver maple. Crull's and Thompson's Island contain 156 acres (63 ha) of mature and old-growth forests. Fauna Bald eagles have returned to the area, and otters have been re-introduced. The area is home to ospreys, soft-shelled turtles, great blue herons, kingfishers, common mergansers, mallards, and beavers. The Allegheny River is home to a variety of freshwater mussels. The islands are home to the federally endangered clubshell mussel (Pleurobema clava) and the Northern riffleshell (Epioblasma torulosa rangiana). They are also home to rare fishes, including the bluebreast darter (Etheostoma camurum), and the spotted darter (Etheostoma maculatum). List of islands Crull's Island Thompson's Island R.

Allegheny Post Office

The Allegheny Post Office is a historic building in the Allegheny Center neighborhood on the North Side of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It was built in 1897 as the main post office for what was then the independent city of Allegheny and later became part of Pittsburgh. After the post office closed in 1967, the building was slated for demolition as part of the Allegheny Center urban renewal project. However, the Pittsburgh History and Landmarks Foundation (PHLF) mounted a successful campaign to save the building, raising about $835,000 to purchase and restore it for their own use. In 1972, the building reopened as the Pittsburgh History and Landmarks Museum, exhibiting items from PHLF's collections of historic artifacts. In 1983, the lower level of the building became the first home of the Children's Museum of Pittsburgh. The Children's Museum eventually expanded to occupy the entire post office building as well as the neighboring Buhl Planetarium building and a new addition. The building was listed on the listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971. It was the first building in Allegheny County to be added to the register.

Allegheny West (Pittsburgh)

Allegheny West is a historic neighborhood in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania's North Side. The Pittsburgh Historic Review Commission voted in favor of designating the neighborhood as a city historic district in September 1989. The neighborhood has two zip codes of both 15233 and 15212, and has representation on Pittsburgh City Council by the council member for District 1 (North Side). History The area was frequented by Native Americans until late in the 18th century. In 1787 David Redick began a survey of the area, with land to be given to Continental soldiers as part of their pay for service in the American Revolution. In 1788 lots in the area were auctioned off in Philadelphia. Houses were first built in the district in 1846-47 and streets were laid out about the same time. In the 1860s there was another boom in housing construction. In the late 19th century Ridge Avenue became known as "Millionaire's Row" with mansions built for Henry W. Oliver, William Penn Snyder, Harmar Denny, Alexander M. Byers, and others. Lincoln Avenue also became known for its mansions. The neighborhood is the birthplace of Gertrude Stein.

Америка на колёсах

«Америка на колёсах» (англ. America on Wheels) — музей наземного транспорта, расположенный в городе Аллентаун (Пенсильвания). История В 1989 году власти города Аллентаун объявили о планах по обновлению старой промышленной зоны вдоль реки Лихай, включавшей заброшенный мясокомбинат компании Arbogast & Bastian. Проект реконструкции, получивший название «Лихай-Лэндинг» (Lehigh Landing), предусматривал создание музея, пивоварни, пешеходных дорожек, пешеходного моста через реку и набережной для проведения фестивалей. Музей был официально открыт для посетителей 12 апреля 2008 года. Описание Общая площадь музея составляет 4 тыс. м², из которых более 2100 м² отведено под экспозиции, разделённые на три основные галереи и несколько зон с небольшими выставками. На втором этаже музея размещаются временные экспозиции. Там же находится художественная галерея, где представлены работы, посвящённые транспортным средствам. Коллекция музея насчитывает более 75 экспонатов — велосипедов, мотоциклов, легковых и грузовых автомобилей, — рассказывающих историю развития транспорта и передвижения: от эпохи конных экипажей до транспортных средств будущего. В музее также хранятся архивы компании Mack Trucks. Экспозиция Важной частью музейной коллекции является бензиновый экипаж Надига 1889 года — первый автомобиль с двигателем внутреннего сгорания, на котором ездили в США. Генри Надиг был уроженцем Рейнской области и владельцем виноградника; он продал всё свое имущество, чтобы переехать с семьёй в Америку. Став механиком, он открыл мастерскую вместе с сыновьями в Аллентауне. Свой бензиновый экипаж Генри закончил в 1889 году — за два года до того, как свои автомобили с двигателем внутреннего сгорания создали Чарльз Э. Дьюри и предприниматель из Огайо Джон Ламберт. Генри испытывал машину и ездил на ней по ночам, так как экипаж пугал лошадей; из-за этого он даже попадал в поле зрения местной полиции. Семья позаботилась о том, чтобы автомобиль не заржавел; впоследствии его частично отреставрировали и передали в музей на хранение. Согласно семейным преданиям, к Надигу обращался Генри Форд, надеясь наладить деловое сотрудничество. Собственная коллекция музея невелика, поскольку большинство представленных здесь транспортных средств — арендованные экспонаты. Экспозиция Западной галереи обновляется каждые полгода в соответствии с новой тематикой. Часть автомобилей предоставлена во временное пользование музеем Mack Truck Museum из города Аллентаун (штат Пенсильвания). В 2024–2025 годах был запущен проект «Битва автоклубов» (Battle of the Car Clubs), в котором несколько клубов выставляют лучшие автомобили своих участников, а посетители голосуют за понравившиеся экземпляры.

Crozer Building

The Crozer Building is a historic building at 1420–1422 Chestnut Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It was built as the headquarters of the American Baptist Publication Society, and is sometimes called the American Baptist Publication Society building. History On February 2, 1896, a disastrous fire razed the headquarters of the American Baptist Publication Society (ABPS) at 1420–1422 Chestnut Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In addition to destroying much of the property, records, and library of the ABPS, it also destroyed the archives of the American Baptist Historical Society which shared the ABPS's building. In the same year of that fire, the ABPS began construction of a new headquarters building on the same site. The new building, the Crozer Building, was named after the Crozer family, a prominent Baptist family who had a long history with the ABPS. One member of the family, Samuel Aldrich Crozer, served a term as the ABPS's president. The Crozer Building was designed by the architectural firm of Frank Miles Day & Brother. It used a French Renaissance Revival style. After two years of construction, the new building officially opened in 1898. Part of the building was occupied earlier, with the ABHS moving into the new facility on November 17, 1897 before construction had been completed. The building was given a formal grand opening on February 17, 1898. Along with Jacob Reed's Sons Store to the immediate west and the Packard Building on 15th Street, the building set the standard for commercial buildings on fashionable Chestnut Street. The Crozer Building included Griffith Hall, named for Dr. Benjamin Griffith, which was used as a place for public music concerts and other events from the 1890s through the 1920s. In 1980, in recognition of its significance as a national historical structure, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places. References
Andrew Carnegie Free Library & Music Hall (Carnegie, Pennsylvania)

The Andrew Carnegie Free Library & Music Hall (also known as the ACFL&MH or "Carnegie Carnegie") is a public library and music hall located at 300 Beechwood Avenue in Carnegie, Pennsylvania. Like hundreds of other Carnegie libraries, the construction of the ACFL&MH, which opened in 1901, was funded by industrialist Andrew Carnegie. The ACFL&MH has been recognized as a historic landmark and appears on the List of Pittsburgh History and Landmarks Foundation Historic Landmarks and the National Register of Historic Places. History Andrew Carnegie's decision to build a library in Carnegie, Pennsylvania, was originally inspired by the town's adoption of his name. In 1894, the neighboring boroughs of Chartiers and Mansfield voted to merge their communities into one larger borough and chose to name their new town in honor of Carnegie. Carnegie was so moved by the gesture that he offered to build a public library in the middle of the town. On April 26, 1898, Carnegie gifted the town with an initial grant of US$200,000 for the building of the library and an attached music hall, lecture hall, and gymnasium; he also provided an additional $10,000 for the library to purchase books and used any remaining grant funds to start an endowment fund for the new library. Construction of the Andrew Carnegie Free Library and Music Hall began in October 1899 and was completed in less than two years, with the library officially opening to the public in May 1901. The ACFL&MH was added to the List of Pittsburgh History and Landmarks Foundation Historic Landmarks in 1979, and the National Register of Historic Places on October 8, 1981. The ACFL&MH is one of only three buildings in the Chartiers Valley area to be recognized and added to the National Register. The Andrew Carnegie Free Library & Music Hall holds a unique position as one of the four Carnegie libraries that received endowments from Andrew Carnegie. Whereas most of the towns gifted with Carnegie libraries were required to adhere to the "Carnegie Formula"—an arrangement where the town agreed to subsidize their new library with public taxes—towns with endowed libraries were not required to publicly fund them.
