Abstract
In the decades around the turn of the 20th century, Pittsburgh’s Gilded Age elite constructed a Millionaire’s Row along Fifth and Penn Avenues from Oakland to Point Breeze. There, bankers and magnates of oil, coal, coke, and steel commissioned opulent mansions from the leading architects of the day. For the grounds around them, they sought the best practitioners of the newly emerging profession of landscape architecture to develop elegant private gardens and parklike pleasure grounds.
