Braddock, PA (Photo Tour)

For more photo tours, visit: http://historicpittsburgh.blogspot.com

My original title for this tour was to be "The Grand Homes of Braddock," but then I decided that some of the modest mill homes were interesting, too, and of course so was the remaining commercial architecture and the Carnegie Library. In fact, there are so many notable buildings in Braddock that the town defies its reputation as a cheaply-built neighborhood of "substandard" worker housing. Surprises abound in Braddock and one would be foolish to generalize what this town is about -- whether it relates to its architecture or long history of decline.

This is great. I grew up in Braddock in the 1950s/1960s; I recognize a lot of the buildings and homes on Holland Avenue--including my grandparent's house. Many thanks for the memories.
