Department of City Planning History, 1906-1923, 1986

The Historic Review Planning Records are housed in 37 boxes and are arranged into three series. The records consist of subject files, photos, and slides from various Historical Review Commission projects, primarily from the 1980s and 1990s. Included in the subject files are many drafts and copies of HRC pamphlets from historic districts along with information about specific historic buildings and sites in Pittsburgh. Many of the photos included in the collection feature buildings or structures that were slated for demolition, buildings that were renovated or restored, or new buildings located on existing historical sites. Historic districts, such as Manchester and South Side, are well represented throughout the collection.
