The event will feature tours of four historic sites in Pittsburgh’s Hazelwood neighborhood: The original Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, the 18th century John Woods House, Gladstone School, and the Spahr Building, a Victorian commercial building on Hazelwood’s main commercial corridor. All four have tremendous historic legacies, but are currently vacant. Your input is necessary to develop creative solutions for the preservation and reuse of these sites. Team up with your fellow preservationists to see which team can develop the best reuse strategy in a friendly competition called, “So You Think You Can Preserve?”
Here’s a map of the sites featured on the tour:
