  • Description
  • Looking down what was then known as Ferry Street (now known as Stanwix Street) in downtown Pittsburgh, this photograph shows the ruins of the old Wabash Railroad Terminal on the right. The terminal had been one of five railroad terminals in Pittsburgh until it was destroyed by fire in 1946, clearing the way for the demolition of the entire area and construction of the Gateway Center project. The building on the far right center of the photograph is the old Jenkins Arcade, later razed to make space for the building now known as One Fifth Avenue Place.
