Walking Tour of Central Oakland

Members Only

Tour will leave from Cathedral of Learning.

Oakland is Pittsburgh’s second city center. On this mile and a quarter walk we will discuss how the philanthropy of Mary Schenley and Andrew Carnegie initiated Oakland’s dramatic change from a suburb situated above the industrial river valleys into Pittsburgh’s cultural, educational, and medical center. Central Oakland is one of the finest examples of the City Beautiful movement in America. Sites on the tour include the Cathedral of Learning, Heinz Chapel, the Carnegie Museums, Carnegie Mellon University, Phipps Conservatory, Soldiers & Sailors Memorial, the Pittsburgh Athletic Association, and St. Paul’s Cathedral.
