Downtown Pittsburgh: Wharf Historic District

For more Pittsburgh Photo Tours, visit: http://historicpittsburgh.blogspot.com

My love affair with Pittsburgh has enabled me to become familiar with the city's most interesting places. Here is the Wharf Historic District, a part of downtown located near the Monongahela River. Some of the buildings in these photographs are among the city's oldest surviving structures. I took special care to photograph early residential structures and low-level buildings, as these are generally the oldest. Some may have survived the great fire of 1845. I find Pittsburgh's earlt colonial history fascinating, and it is fun to wonder just how old some of the surviving buildings are!
Oh, the mysteries of Pittsburgh..
