Father Pitt

Why should the beautiful die?


The Mellon Institute

Benno Janssen, whose many designs helped define the Oakland Civic Center, created perhaps his most monumental work here.

And Father Pitt, through the magic of computer stitching software, brings you perhaps the only complete face-on photo of the block-long Fifth Avenue façade on the entire Internet. Below, a picture from the corner of Bellefield and Fifth.
