Product information "Abandoned Pittsburgh"

Highlights the Steel City's industrial past, exploring haunted and forgotten sites like Homestead Municipal Building and Western Penitentiary.

Does a building have a soul? And once it is empty of people, does it still have a story to tell?
Abandoned Pittsburgh: Gears and Ghosts continues the series that seeks to explore the Steel City's industrial past. Locations in this second volume include Connelley Trade School, Engine House No. 16 (believed to be the oldest firehouse in the city), the Garden Theater (and its sordid past), the crumbling Layton Bridge, Homestead Municipal Building (believed to be one of the most haunted buildings in the city), and the foreboding Western Penitentiary.
