Father Pitt

Why should the beautiful die?


Stone Schwartz Building, Allegheny West

Sony Alpha 3000.

This Romanesque warehouse appears from old maps to have been built around the turn of the twentieth century for the Allegheny Transfer Company. It later belonged to Donaldson Transfer, as a ghost sign at the top of the building testifies (enlarge the picture to examine it closely). It has been a few things since then, and it was for sale when old Pa Pitt visited it. If you want a distinctive commercial or even residential space in one of our most pleasant neighborhoods, here is your opportunity.

A few years ago, Father Pitt took a picture of this building in sunset light, but it looks as though he never published it. So here it is now.
