One of the most remarkable things about the Cathedral of Learning is that it is an isolated skyscraper. There are very few places in the world where a skyscraper can be examined by itself, and few skyscrapers so much worth examining as this, which Father Pitt has often declared the only convincing application of Gothic style to the skyscraper form.

Like most of old Pa Pitt’s pictures, these are donated to Wikimedia Commons. If you go to the Commons hosting page for the very wide picture above (you may have to push the “More details” button), you can see that Father Pitt has made use of one of Wikimedia Commons’ clever features. Hover over the picture, and you will see yellow rectangles; hover over those, and labels will appear for prominent landmarks.
