The briefest of Excerpts from my book, this one from Chapter 7: Old City Line & Original Millionaire’s Row
Just a little peek at the lower and middle classes of #Allegheny City, the #MexicanWarStreets, decorative elements in house styles… a little bit about #MarySchenley and the #ReservedTractOppositePittburgh ‘s #HighRoughLand from #DavidRedick ‘s survey, and #CharlesAvery and African Americans in Allegheny City
Much, much more in the book— available signed and specially dedicated by the author at www.lisamilesviolin.com/res-allegheny-city (Though the book has been available since 2007 elsewhere, support artists directly!)
Pix below is of unique bookmark made upon original publication in ‘07 (many reprints afterward), in honor of the 100 yr. marking of the Consolidation with the City of Pgh. They show the beautiful Allegheny City Carnegie Library, whose top spire is no longer, with fountain in front. Opposite side of bookmark in forest green/ gold two-tone gives some details/ specifications on the book including ISBN and more. Few rare remain and are available for $10/ each.
