    Wilkinsburg station

    Designed by Walter H. Cookson, this station—one of the grandest of our suburban stations—was built in 1916. The last train left in 1975. After sitting abandoned for decades, the station has finally been restored to very nearly its original appearance.

  • Wilkinsburg

    The central business district of Wilkinsburg, vignetted by fall leaves. Among other buildings, we see the municipal building and library (front, red brick with American flag); Wilkinsburg Baptist Church (octagonal tower), the middle and high schools (dark brick), and the old Horner School (light stone).
