Project:
Allegheny Commons: West Park

Location:
City of Pittsburgh

Our Role:
Phase I Archaeological Survey

CDC completed a Phase I Archaeological Survey for the West Commons within the Allegheny Commons Park, a City of Pittsburgh Historic District. The park is Pittsburgh’s oldest park and an excellent example of a nineteenth century designed landscape. This image shows the park as it was originally designed.

Additional Interest: No archaeological sites were found in the area of the proposed new road. The city later decided to cancel the road project and return the park to the original landscape design.
