Journey back through the pages of time. Long before the internet or smartphones. Way back before answering machines and VCRs, to the early to mid-part of the 20th century when horse and buggies still traveled along Pittsburgh’s streets and the steel mills churned day and night. Here are 13 vintage photos of Pittsburgh’s streets that will take you back in time.
1. A picture perfect photo of Fourth Avenue, at the time known as Pittsburgh's Wall Street, in downtown Pittsburgh circa 1900.
13. A dirt road leading toward the Montour Number Four Mine, owned by the Pittsburgh Coal Company, is seen in this November 1942 photograph by John Collier.
