PITTSBURGH CHAPTER A. I. A.
Pittsburgh architects are greatly agitated over the renewal of the discussion pertaining to proposed additions to the Allegheny County Court-house. The Pittsburgh Chapter, American Institute of Architects, is watching proceedings like a hawk and at the slightest definite move on the part of the County Commissioners will take decisive action to prevent the vandalism. The court-house is known over the country as the masterpiece of Richardson and the local architects have no intention of seeing it despoiled by the addition of more stories. That the County Commissioners are regarding the attitude of the architects carefully is shown by the following statement which was issued a few days ago:
“We have decided nothing yet. We have had several meetings about the changes which are needed but we have reached no conclusion. It is a serious problem and one which must not be decided too hastily. It means the expenditure of a large sum of money and we propose to go very slowly. Whether additions should be made at all to the main building is the main question,”
