"U.S. Engineer Office photograph of the Fort Wayne Railroad Station (right), located in Pittsburgh's North Side section. The structure, built in 1907 and the third station constructed on this site, was a brick, stone, and terra cotta building in the Dutch Renaissance style and modeled after Butcher's Hall in the Netherlands. It was razed in 1955. The church in the center of the photograph is the Trinity Lutheran Church on Stockton Avenue West." |
