Panoramic View From Pittsburgh To Allegheny

1902 Thomas A. Edison film crossing the Sixth Street Bridge from Downtown Pittsburgh to the city of Allegheny (later annexed by Pittsburgh in 1907 and now called the North Side.) May be the earliest film footage of the Pittsburgh region.

Was this the 6th. Street Bridge? People headed to a Pirates game at Exposition Park.

Somebody doesn't know what "panoramic" means.

+Tom Wilson No cars either. Lots of pedestrians though. But where's the guy that plays sax on the bridge?

Title card legit? Wasn't the "H" added in 1911?

Good catch, but Pittsburgh was originally founded with an h" and never really lost it. The post office took it away in 1891 , but that was pretty much just for mail delivery and legal document. My understanding is that everyone else who lived here just kept spelling it with an H until the PO gave it back to us in 1911.
