Abandoned Pittsburgh: Gears and Ghosts

Does a building have a soul? And once it is empty of people, does it still have a story to tell? Abandoned Pittsburgh: Gears and Ghosts continues the series that seeks to explore the Steel City's industrial past. Locations in this second volume include Connelley Trade School, Engine House No. 16 (believed to be the oldest firehouse in the city), the Garden Theater (and its sordid past), the crumbling Layton Bridge, Homestead Municipal Building (believed to be one of the most haunted buildings in the city), and the foreboding Western Penitentiary.Author: Chuck BeardPublisher: America Through TimePublished: 05/28/2018Pages: 112Binding Type: PaperbackWeight: 0.80lbsSize: 9.70h x 6.70w x 0.30dISBN: 9781634990462About the AuthorBeard, Chuck: - CHUCK BEARD is founder of the Abandoned Pittsburgh Gallery, which opened November 2016 in Pittsburgh's historic Homestead Municipal Building.
