Pittsburgh History: From Gilded Grandeur to Glass Tower
March 26 | Dollar Bank
Each year, Dollar Bank and Duquesne University’s Department of History offer an internship that provides an opportunity for a student in the school’s Master of Arts program in Public History to do focused research in the Bank’s corporate archives. This year’s intern, Matt Wollett, will present his work investigating the history, design, and construction of the Bank’s iconic Fourth Avenue structure, looking, in particular, at the laborers who built it. Providing context for this fresh perspective on the building will be journalist and architecture writer Mark Houser, and Tracy Myers, the organization’s education coordinator.
The event will run from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Complimentary hors d’oeuvres will be provided.
