[Chapter 3 excerpt] Construction workers stand artfully on a wood retaining wall, 1904

Abstract

This striking image reminds us of the importance of preserving the historic information with photographs. Familiar details are highly reminiscent of Pittsburgh—the rocky soil of the bluff, the sight of a wooden stairway climbing the side of the hill at right—but alas, the identification of the photo is unknown.
