Here is a very nice high image detail of the front of the Wabash Terminal that once stood in Pittsburgh.

A friend had sent me the following link

http://www.steelcactus.com/DRONE

That contains many photos taken in Pittsburgh between 1900 and 1915. On the home page either click "Old Pittsburgh in High Def" of Click on "Pittsburgh Steel". To see the picture in high def, click on it once and it will center on the screen, click on it again and it will enlarge. It's amazing the detail that was captured in those old glass plate photos.

Rich,

Great finds... thanks for sharing!

Interesting tidbit regarding the station.

Someone saved one of the stone fireplaces and it ended up at the Stone Mansion, a high end restaurant in Wexford.

Unfortunately, it looks like it may have closed but there is a photo of it here.
