About this Event
Take a guided tour of Fourth Avenue, the former Wall Street of Pittsburgh, and learn about the people who commissioned the city's first skyscrapers and fueled its booming stock exchange. Along with the industrial tycoons, financial giants, oil wildcatters, and entrepreneurs of old Fourth Avenue, hear inspirational tales of:
- Powerful women who shaped the city with their vision
- Champions of equality who fought slavery and racism
- Master painters whose art was snapped up by Carnegie and Frick
Leading your walking tour is speaker and author Mark Houser, who has taken more than 2,000 people on his Antique Skyscrapers Rooftop Views tours in downtown Pittsburgh. The tour includes a rare Saturday open house at historic Dollar Bank, the oldest on Fourth Avenue.
ALL PROCEEDS FROM TICKET SALES WILL BE DONATED TO MISSION OF MERCY PITTSBURGH.
Every year, the local charity offers two days of free health, dental, vision, and hearing care for needy Pittsburghers at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center. Help this worthy charity while exploring the city we love!
