Extending from the Monongahela River to Liberty Avenue, Grant Street is Downtown’s grand civic boulevard, featuring a mix of historic landmarks and modern skyscrapers, a diversity of uses, and a tree-lined median. This tour focuses on the section from 6^th to 4^th Avenues, taking in exceptional work by Henry Hobson Richardson, Frederick Osterling, Henry Hornbostel, Rafael Guastavino, and Daniel Burnham. It also provides a primer on Pittsburgh’s history from 1758 to the early 20th century and reveals Henry Clay Frick’s enormous influence on this section of Grant Street.
