Architects known to have worked in Pittsburgh.
We have a Directory of Pittsburgh architects in 1913 that gives names and business addresses of all our well-known architects of the early twentieth century.
For a good start on matching buildings with architects, old Pa Pitt has a spreadsheet called Father Pitt’s Great Big List of Buildings and Architects. It already has hundreds of entries.
We have also begun to plot some architectural maps that match buildings to their architects in particular neighborhoods.
In the 1960s, James D. Van Trump wrote “The Stones of Pittsburgh,” an architectural tour still valuable both for its information and for its opinions. We reproduce the whole text.
Meanwhile, we are slowly building a series of articles on individual architects.
