"Don't know whay this would be called the Atherton Ave Bridge, but if it's Baum Blvd crossing the Pgh Junction Railroad, this is the place. "
"I can only find it listed as "Lawrenceville" Park, but this is where it is. I THINK that might be the original poolhouse in the background? and the building is the old St. Margaret's Hospital which is now the playing field location..
Not sure though"
"According to this site the Greenfield Ave bridge was not built until 1923, after this photo was taken (unless the date is inaccurate) http://www.pghbridges....
I can't seem to find a page on that site about the Murray Ave Bridge."
"Ellsworth Ave continued to the intersection of Highland and Centre on this bridge, now gone, over what is now the East Busway and Norfolk Southern Railroad. The Highland Ave bridge which remains, can be seen beyond. "
"I am pretty sure this is the Greenfield Ave. Bridge. Hard to see through the trees but the shape of the arch, and the contour of the hillsides match up. The Greenfield Ave. Bridge is a concrete structure; the Murray Ave. Bridge is made of steel."
"What you see in this image is the framework upon which the supporting arch of the bridge was built (reinforced concrete, I think). This wooden structure is removed when the arch was complete."
"Sorry about that Jo. Right now I have the marker move to wherever there is the nearest Street View image available.
I'm thinking about changing this though so you will be able to tag more accurately. "
"So this photo was taken at a corner, and if it is looking at Superior Auto Accessories on the opposite side of the street then it has to be looking west. So then it seems like the only corner that works is the corner of Baum and Cypress, as I've tagged it here. But my tag makes less sense when you consider the "Guys and Dolls Cocktail Bar" Not sure which is better?"
"Tried a bazillion times to move the marker to the corner of Friendship and Gross, but it doesn't stay. Someone tell me what in the world I'm doing wrong!"
"This does not appear to be the Murray avenue bridge. Perhaps I'm confused, but the Murray Ave bridge is the one near the intersection with Forward Ave. It doesnt have trusswork on top like that."
"I love the internet! Here's the line-up for the show:
1970 ... May 3, KQV stages a free rock concert from noon to 7 pm on Flagstaff Hill in
Schenley Park. Dan Kelly emcees the show featuring Nazz, Friends, Steam Shovel,
and Moses and the Damnation of Adam Blessing.

I'm a huge Steam Shovel fan! "

"Saw a drawing once of the Schenley Park Plans that showed a second pool at roughly the current Ice Rink location. The 1926 plat plan however shows only the pool in it's current location, so this must be it. "

This location can be pin-pointed to the meeting of Boundary and Neville with outbuildings in the foreground and the a view of the Bialas house in the distance.
