Pittsburgh Then And Now by Arthur G Smith

This handsome volume presents 161 pairs of matching before and after photographs of Pittsburgh. A treasury of images for those who remember the old Pittsburgh, those who are curious about its past, and anyone interested in Pittsburgh's fascinating evolution from smoky city to the city it is today.
Pittsburgh Then and Now.. may make your blood boil and bring tears to your eyes, but this is not just a story of Lost Pittsburgh. Smith also records the remarkable continuity of the city's hillside neighborhood, the evolution of Downtown and the remaking of the Point from a grimy industrial district to a triangular green park with a fountain at its tip. - Pittsburgh Press

Arthur G. Smith was Professor of History and Chairman of the History Department at Chatham College.
