Pittsburgh—More Than a City
by A. Robert Scott
P
ittsburgh is more than a city: it’s a city
and area that encompasses Western
Pennsylvania.
I grew up in New Kensington, about 18
miles from Pittsburgh, up the Allegheny
River, but I’m from Pittsburgh. And that’s
true whether you’re from Monroeville,
Butler, Greensburg, or Robinson Township.
Pittsburgh is truly someplace special.
But don’t take my word for it. Others are
saying it and the secret is getting out. Once
known as the ”Smoky City,” due to heavy
industry, and much maligned for it, this is
not your grandma’s Pittsburgh anymore.
There is much to see (a view around
every corner) and do and enjoy.
World-class Views
Few cities can match the world-class
views that Pittsburgh has. One of the very
best is from Grandview Avenue on Mt.
Washington. Concrete pods that extend
out and away from the hillside provide
sweeping panoramic vistas.
Other stunning views come from the
three rivers. A fun way to see the city from
both land and water is with Just Ducky
Tours. There is also a riverboat fleet.
Where to Stay
For visitors and out-of-towners looking
for somewhere to stay, the following recommendations for lodging may be helpful.
Pittsburgh Point 7
Place, a full-service property.
Would the South Side suit you better?
No problem. SpringHill Suites on Water
Street is strategically located adjacent the
SouthSide Works, East Carson Street, and
near the training facilities of the Pittsburgh
Steelers and Pitt Panthers football.
Nearby also is Station Square, a shopping, dining, and entertainment complex.
Now cross town and to
the North Shore and the
Allegheny River you’ll find
another of the newer properties that has opened.
The
Hyatt
Place
Pittsburgh - North Shore,
opened In December 2010.
With 178-rooms, its guests
find themselves just steps
away from PNC Park, home
of the Pittsburgh Pirates, and
Heinz Field, home to the
Pittsburgh Steelers and football collegiate Pitt Panthers.
The hotel’s choice location is near other North

History and Accolades
Five years ago, in 2008, Pittsburgh celebrated its 250th Anniversary.
The city was named Pittsburgh in 1758 by
General John Forbes. Leading a British and
Colonial army, Forbes took over the ruins left
at Ft. Duquesne by the French at The Point.
He renamed the settlement Ft. Pitt for his
superior, British Secretary of State William
Pitt.
From this small settlement at the confluence of three rivers came America’s Most
Livable City.
Today, Pittsburgh is a perfect blend of the
old architecture with a modern contemporary
skyline that reaches for sapphire blue skies.
With rivers and valleys, and mountains and
bridges, it really is someplace special. And
the people that call it home make it more so.
Visitors in a downtown hotel lobby
For a city once known as “Hell with the
lid off,” Pittsburgh has come a long way.
Recent recognition includes being
named one of the 40 prettiest cities in the
world, by Huffington Post. The city’s skyline is one of the world’s prettiest according
to ForbesTraveler.com. Pittsburgh has
twice been named “America’s Most
Liveable City” by Places Rated Almanac.

Visit the
Historic Landmarks
in Lawrenceville
“Jaws drop in awe!” according to founder
Sean Casey when asked to describe the
impressions of guests walking through the
doors of The Church Brew Works for the first
time. The breathtaking view of the brewpub
garners comparisons to the impressive vista
of The Point that visitors enjoy when emerging from the Fort Pitt Tunnel for the first time.
The Church Brew Works, a combination
restaurant and microbrewery, opened
August 1, 1996 as the first and only Brew
Pub in the country located in a former
church. The building originally was St.
John the Baptist Church. Legendary beer
critic Michael Jackson noted the brewery
as one of the most beautiful in the world.
Renovations to the 8,000-square foot
restaurant have brought the building back
to its turn of the century splendor.
Pittsburgh History and Landmarks
Foundation showed their appreciation for
the project by bestowing The Church Brew
Works with the Award of Merit for the adaptive reuse of St. John’s.
St. John the Baptist Church was founded
by local Irish and Scottish immigrants who
worked in the flourishing Carnegie and
Diamond Back Steel Works in the historic
community of Lawrenceville. This
Pittsburgh community was named after war
hero Captain James Lawrence, famous for his
dying words, “Don’t give up the ship.”
Catty-corner from The Church Brew Works
is another famous Pittsburgh landmark, The
Pittsburgh Brewing Company. This brewery
was founded in 1899 through the merger of
twenty different regional breweries. The
brewery recently relocated to nearby
Latrobe, Pennsylvania where its flagship
Iron City brand is still being produced.
A block from The Church Brew Works
at 3600 Penn Avenue is the childhood
home of Stephen Foster, the famous U.S.
composer. Three blocks away is beautiful
Saint Augustine Church with its 92’ high
domed ceiling. Built in 1899, this church
is an architectural masterpiece.

16 Pittsburgh Point
How Pittsburgh got its Name
by Bryan A. Scott
Pittsburgh as we know it today had its
beginnings as a fur-trading post in the 17th
century. The first written accounts of the area
came from the French, English, and Dutch
explorers who made contact with the
Delaware, Shawnee, Seneca, and Iroquois
Indian tribes who lived here. These explorers, and later George Washington, could not
have explored Western Pennsylvania without the sophisticated network of trails left by
the Indians, which are the basis for many of
the important highways in the district today.
In 1754 a Virginia based Ohio Company
attempted to establish Fort Prince George at
The Point. Four months later, the French
drove out the settlers, demolished the stockade, and replaced it with Fort Duquesne. The
French intended to make its settlement the
center of a territory which extended from
Montreal in Canada to New Orleans on the
Gulf. The dreams vanished when the English
captured the fort in 1758 and rebuilt it, as
well as renamed it Fort Pitt. This was the
largest fortress constructed by the English in
the New World. The fort and surrounding
area was named in honor of England’s Prime
Minister, William Pitt, and designated the
garrison town of Pitts-borough, or Pittsburgh.
However, the name of Pittsburgh was not
always spelled Pittsburgh. Over 100 years
ago, Pittsburgh was divided into two hostile
camps: those who wanted to spell
Pittsburgh with an “h” — as it has been
from the beginning — and those who wanted to drop the “h” and conform to a more
uniform and common spelling.
In 1890, when industrial America was in
love with conformity, the United States
Board of Geographic Names was created to
standardize spellings across the land. The
board ruled that all American cities and
towns pronounced “berg” would officially
18 Pittsburgh Point
be spelled “burg.” The following year
Pittsburgh was officially Pittsburg minus the
“h.” Pittsburghers, who found the “h” needless were happy and found pride in saying
“at least we have a name that’s 100 percent
American.” The h-ers, who were in the
majority, claimed their argument to be a matter of pride also. They reasoned, “without the
h, how will our great city be distinguished
from the 12 other Pittsburgs in the country in
places such as Kansas, Oklahoma, New
Hampshire, and Arkansas?”
The proponents of the “h” had history on
their side. The fact is that Pittsburgh has officially had the “h” since its very birth. A letter, during the French and Indian War, from
General John Forbes to the Prime Minister
of England, William Pitt, is dated
“Pittsbourgh, 27th November, 1758.” Also,
in 1769 a survey by the Penn family referred
to it as their “Manor of Pittsburgh.”
With more and more evidence, the h-ers,
led by William H. Davis who was the real
catalyst, arranged a special meeting with the
U.S. Geographical Board. After hearing the
wealth of evidence the h-ers had presented,
on July 19, 1911, the board relented:
Pittsburg would again be Pittsburgh.
But 20 year habits can be hard to break. In
1921, the Pittsburgh Chamber of Commerce
published a pamphlet, “How to Spell
Pittsburgh,” that was sent to all major newspapers and institutions on the continent.
Maybe they should have directed their efforts
a little closer to home. Across town, the
recently now defunct Pittsburgh Press
remained staunchly non-h in its policy for
nearly 20 years after the official restoration.
Yes, Pittsburgh lost the “h” in its spelling in
1891. Twenty years later, bowing to popular
pressure, the U.S. Board on Geographic
Names approved restoration of the “h”.

The Journey Through Hallowed Ground
National Heritage contains a rich collection of patriotic
and historic destinations to see
Known as the region Where America
Happened™, the Journey Through Hallowed
Ground National Heritage Area contains
more history than any other in the nation
and includes: National and World Heritage
sites, over 10,000 sites on the National
Register of Historic Places, 49 National
Historic districts, nine Presidential homes,
13 National Parks, hundreds of African
American and Native American heritage
sites, 30 historic main street communities,
sites from the Revolutionary War, FrenchIndian War, War of 1812, and the largest
collection of Civil War sites in the nation.
This 180-mile long, 75-mile wide area
swath of land that stretches from
Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, to Thomas
Jefferson’s Monticello in Charlottesville,
Virginia, contains a rich collection of
patriotic and historic destinations to visit.
In addition to the plethora of battlefields
(Gettysburg, Antietam, Manassas, Harpers
Ferry) and national cemeteries (Gettysburg,
Antietam, Culpeper), here are a few additional suggestions that may help you decide
to Take the Journey.
As everyone knows, Gettysburg,
Pennsylvania has the battlefield and national park. It is also home to the oldest national cemetery, Soldiers National Cemetery,
dedicated 149 years ago by President
Lincoln. However, another great place to
visit is the Eisenhower National Historic
Site. The former home and farm of General
and President Dwight D. Eisenhower served
the President as a weekend retreat and a
meeting place for world leaders. With its
peaceful setting and view of South
Mountain, it was a much-needed respite
from Washington and a backdrop for efforts
to reduce Cold War tensions. For more
information, visit www.nps.gov/eise.
Another unique destination within the
Journey Through Hallowed Ground
National Heritage Area is the War
Correspondents Memorial, located within
Gathland State Park in Frederick County,
Maryland. The War Correspondents Arch, a
National historic monument dedicated in
October 1896, is the only monument in the
world dedicated to journalists killed in combat. It sits at Crampton’s Gap, which witnessed a portion of the Battle of South
Mountain, the first major battle of the Civil
War fought in Maryland. Other information
is available at www.fredericktourism.org.
External Light Peace Memorial
at Gettysburg
Traveling down Route 15, the Journey
Through Hallowed Ground National Scenic
Byway, visitors should stop by Dodona
Manor in historic Leesburg, Virginia.
Dodona Manor is the former home of
General George C. Marshall and his wife
Katherine Marshall, which served as the
Marshalls’ residence from 1941 until the
General’s death in 1959. In addition to seeing many artifacts that belonged to the
Marshall family, visitors can see the current
exhibit entitled “With Affection and
Admiration,” which examines the remarkcontinued on page 28

The Original Oyster House
The Original Oyster House, located in
colorful Market Square is Pittsburgh’s oldest tavern. Designated a historic landmark,
the unique tavern was established in 1870
when oysters costing a penny a piece were
served to hungry miners and riverboat men.
Through the years celebrities from former heavyweight champion Joe Louis to
former President Jimmy Carter have
stopped by to sample the delicious
seafood and congenial atmosphere.
During Prohibition, The Original Oyster
House began serving its own special brand
of buttermilk. When Prohibition ended,
buttermilk had become a part of the tavern’s tradition.
The present owner, Lou Grippo, was
bounced out of the Oyster House when he
was a teenager, and in a moment of what at
the time must have seemed mere braggadoccio, vowed he would return and buy the
place. Some years later, the vow came true.
The Original Oyster House continues to
attract politicians, judges, attorneys,
sports figures, entertainers, newsmen, and
hundreds of thousands of others as customers. More fish sandwiches are served
here each week than anywhere in the city.
In the heart of the city at Market Square,
The Original Oyster House is a Pittsburgh
tradition.

Oyster House. Call 412-566-7925 or visit
