Description

Pittsburgh’s post-World War II “Renaissance” used to be in an instant recognized as a landmark of town making plans. In The Shaping of the Point, Robert C. Alberts profiles the dramatic redevelopment of the thirty-six acre park that used to be the center-piece of town’s rebirth. With legendary figures including banker R. K. Mellon, architect Frank Lloyd Wright, mayor David L. Lawrence, corporate executives, and the Daughters of the American Republic all enjoying a job, this story is one in all human interest, controversy, conflict, suspense, or even comedy.
