Streets of North Side, Pittsburgh
Part of the “Mexican War Streets”, this neighborhood is a Pittsburgh original, once the destination for the city’s most wealthy, then in the way city neighborhoods often decline and rise again, a good bit of it fell to ruins but is now being revived, as the buildings themselves just waited for their time to come […]
Brickwork

Turquoise Doorway: 2011
Someone’s entryway on the North Side of Pittsburgh, with a turquoise patina that contrasts very satisfyingly with the old red brick of the row houses. There was too much traffic in the street to back up far enough to get the entire door, and too many cars parked along the street to catch it from […]
Old Allegheny City: 2011
A section of Old Allegheny City, Pittsburgh’s North Side, the rooftops, dormers and windows keeping watch for more than a century. This neighborhood is one of the oldest in Pittsburgh, and was at one time a separate municipality from Pittsburgh named Allegheny, laid out in 1788 and incorporated in 1828, featuring orderly brick streets and […]
