  • Description
  • The scrap yard of the W.F. Wimmer Company on Pittsburgh’s North Side neighborhood. The close proximity to the Allegheny River made this site an ideal place for scrap heaps and railroad tracks prior to the construction of Three Rivers Stadium. During the late 1960s, the Buncher Company scrap yard, owned by real estate developer Jack Buncher, along with the W.F. Wimmer facilities (pictured here) were razed to make way for Three Rivers Stadium.
