Before construction of Three PNC Plaza, CDC archaeologists found thousands of artifacts in a series of brick-lined wells dating from the 1830 to the 1865.  The brick wells were used by some of Pittsburgh’s earliest merchants and boarding houses.  The unique and beautiful artifacts found during the survey revealed a very different view of the people who lived and worked in Pittsburgh, challenging the concept of Pittsburgh as just a “Smoky City.”
