Description
Caption on the back of the photograph reads, “Intersection of Fort Duquesne Boulevard and Barbeau Street at right center. River Wall and wharf on left bank of Allegheny River under construction.” Today, visitors can walk along paved promenades on the riverfront and to overlooks for dramatic views of Pittsburgh, its busy waterways, scenic hillsides, and many bridges. A stepped wall (pictured under construction) or stone bleacher along the Allegheny River section of Point State Park would eventually provide seating for outdoor events. The Manchester Bridge, pictured in the background, was razed in 1970.
