When I first moved here to Pittsburgh I didn’t know too much about the city or its surroundings. The only thing that I really knew was that the city was really big and had many large buildings and businesses within the city. As I started to getting use to the city more and more, I wanted to see more of what Pittsburgh has to offer. since I am attending college here at the art institute of Pittsburgh I’m going to be living in this city for awhile so I figured that I should start to understand and know more than I do now which is nothing. Almost once every week me and my roommate go out and explore the city to find new and exciting things either to do, or see.

One night as we were walking around we saw a very interesting place not too far from our dorm. It was very dark out but it was still light enough for us to maneuver around the city because of all the lights here. As we walked down this one street we saw a couple of buildings that really stood out from the others. The architecture around it was immaculate and had such great detail.  This area is now used for a couple of things but mostly for worship and honoring others. When you look at this place in the darkness of the night it gives off a very eerie feeling. The architecture of the two buildings there makes it look really old and creepy. Although people are welcomed to tour this area and look at it at anytime for free, in front of this sacred ground looks almost as if it encased by black steal fencing. It looks as if it is for protection. To keep outsiders from getting in and the things that is inside from getting out. This makes this place even creepier to look at.

Once upon a time this place had once held thousands of people. Many, many important people were here although today not as many are there. Many of these important people has had an impact on Pittsburgh in different ways. This place is also the oldest site that has not been reconstructed can you guess what landmark this?
