Description

Pittsburghers are slow to surrender their ghosts. Rusted skeletons of business mills and rail depots line the rivers, corroded reminders of a city’s past forged in steel; churches built within the nineteenth century by devout East European immigrants now stand desanctified and decayed; structures that when epitomized the pinnacles of science, commerce, transportation, and manufacturing are empty reminders of ways Pittsburgh earned its name as “The Steel City.”
Frequently named “probably the most livable city” within the U.S., with a stunning skyline framed by soaring bridges (more than some other city on the earth) and its magnificent three rivers, Pittsburgh retains reminders of its historic past that live to tell the tale beside the gleaming new skyscrapers.
From the steel-plated inferno of Carrie Furnace and Duquesne Steel Works to the holy shadows that inhabit St. Nicholas Croatian Catholic Church, Abandoned Pittsburgh: Steel and Shadows points a lens into these darkened, forgotten places where a haunting beauty still exists.
