In the Gilded Age, Pittsburgh reigned supreme as an industrial powerhouse. While echoes of that legacy inform Pittsburgh’s identity today, little of that history survives intact and accessible to the public. Two organizations, The Frick Pittsburgh and Rivers of Steel, exist to preserve those stories through the stewardship of their respective historic sites, Clayton, the home of Henry Clay Frick, and Carrie Blast Furnace. Both sites are currently in the middle of largescale, multi-year preservation projects that will ensure their survival into the future.
During this special panel discussion, staff from each organization will share the stories of how their sites were saved for public benefit and discuss their current preservation projects. The conversation will also explore the unique challenges of caring for these structures and the importance of preserving these historical treasures for the future. A short Q&A will follow the panel discussion.
