Why should the beautiful die?

Return of the Old Diamond Market

The Diamond in the early 1800s
From Sarah H. Killikelly: The History of Pittsburgh: Its Rise and Progress. Pittsburgh: B. C. & Gordon Montgomery Co., 1906, plate facing page 106.

In the early 1800s, the Diamond was the location of the courthouse (moved to Grant Street in 1857), which put the courts at the bustling heart of the city. The market itself was a semicircle, and that unusual design has been revived for the newly reconfigured Diamond.
