A collection of images celebrating the extravagant and historic mansions of Pittsburgh, PA.In the 19th century, the positioning of Pittsburgh as a major manufacturing center and the subsequent rise of the area's steel industry created a wave of prosperity that prompted the beneficiaries of that wealth to construct extravagant residences. Wealthy enclaves sprang up in the city's East End, across the river in neighboring Allegheny City, and into the countryside. Pittsburgh's Mansions explores the stately homes of the area's prominent residents from the 1830s through the 1920s. Businessmen such as H.J. Heinz, Henry Clay Frick, and members of the Mellon family commissioned elaborate homes from the preeminent architects of their day. Firms such as Alden & Harlow, Janssen & Abbott, and Rutan & Russell left their marks on the city's landscape, often contributing iconic public buildings as well as expansive private homes. Though many of the residences have since been lost, Pittsburgh's Mansions offers a look back at the peak of the city's prominence.

Gave Pittsburgh's Mansions to my brother as a Christmas gift. He unwrapped the package and immediately started to read it, ignoring the rest of his gifts. So many of the beautiful old homes featured in the book we knew in our childhood, but they are now gone, victims of progress. He spent an hour going through the book, reminiscing, and mourning the demise of architectural gems. Two days later, he was still talking about the book, so I would say it merits five stars. I recommend it highly as a gift for a current or ex-Pittsburgher. I plan to download a copy to my Kindle.
