Downtown Walking Tour: Market Square Area

$20.00 per person

This tour is limited to 20 participants.
Tickets will not be available after 11:30 p.m. on June 20.

Ever since surveyor George Woods laid out the plan of streets of Pittsburgh in 1784, Market Square has occupied an important place Downtown—geographically, economically, and culturally.

In this area where historic architecture meets recent construction, we will see how PHLF’s work has helped to revive a Downtown core that was once threatened by extensive demolition. The tour includes residential, commercial, corporate, and hotel buildings, several of which the U.S. Green Building Council has awarded its highest certifications for environmental sustainability.

Together, the sites on the tour demonstrate how the combination of historic preservation and thoughtful new development can create a livable urban environment.
