  • Description
  • Volunteer at the Sarah Heinz House in Pittsburgh’s North Side neighborhood teaching a pottery class. Sarah Heinz House provided volunteer workers, usually employees from the nearby H.J. Heinz Company plant, who devoted their time for classes and team sports. The Sarah Heinz House was equipped with a swimming pool, gymnasium, auditorium, workshops, clubrooms, classrooms, craft rooms, lounges, a library, showers and washrooms, kitchens, game rooms, and a roof court on the grounds next to the main plant. Requirements for membership included a nominal annual fee, scaled from twenty-five cents to three dollars, and a physical examination by the House physician. The activities at Heinz House were classified in two areas: physical education and group clubs. Some group activities included woodshop, pottery (pictured here), arts and crafts, cooking, baking, sewing, and various team sports.
