Join Preservation Pittsburgh and the organization’s Modern Committee this Saturday, October 7 from 3:30 – 5:30 pm to explore a range of modern and late modern structures and interiors. The Oakland neighborhood is home to a unique, dense collection of banks, apartment buildings, and campus facilities – from libraries to parking garages – completed in the 1960s and 1970s. The tour will end at 5:30 pm at neighborhood favorite, Butterjoint, where attendees can enjoy drinks and conversation with fellow architecture and design lovers. This free tour marks the inaugural event of the ModCom: Preservation Pittsburgh. Through its Modern Committee, the organization will highlight Pittsburgh’s modern-era design and advocate for its preservation. The walking tour is planned to coincide with Docomomo US Tour Day 2017, the annual national celebration of modern architecture and design featuring public tours and special programs across the United States.
