Grant St Pittsburgh illustration

A whimsical black and white ink illustration by Carol Skinger of Pittsburgh’s Grant Street at the Intersection of Fourth Avenue. You can tell because the street signs say so. People walking to work, a boy with a yo-yo, a car with a kayak, additional cars and busses and a cluster of street signs can be seen. A traffic helicopter is overhead. What appears to be two workmen walking up a fragment of a brick wall carrying a piece of wood or steel is a temporary painted sculpture by Robert Qualters in 1980s. On the left in the foreground is HOK’s Oxford Center from 1983, purchased in 2024 by Shorenstein Properties LCC. Just beyond it is Daniel Burnham’s Frick Building 1902. Across Grant Street Carol inked H. H. Richardson’s Allegheny County Courthouse of 1888 and next to it is Henry Hornbostel’s City County Building of 1917. Rising up over this scene is BNY Mellon Center completed in 1984. Copyright Carol Skinger www.carolskinger.com
