The University of Pittsburgh (Pitt) is an urban campus set in the region of Pittsburgh known as Oakland. Oakland has a rich history and includes many stately buildings. These include Pitt's Cathedral of Learning which I share last week (and several times before). Heinz Chapel, The Carnegie Museum complex and, just across the bridge ver Panther Hollow, Carnegie Mellon University and the Phipp's Conservatory.
One building that was not part of the university is the Pittsburgh Apathetic Association. This building is interesting in that Pitt attempted to purchase the building in 2018. They were outbid by a development group. The developers renovated the building but, after Covid, were unable to find tenants. They recently sold it to the university.
Another building is Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Hall & Museum. this is a museum dedicated to interpreting American military history since the U.S. Civil War.
Interspersed with these historic structures are dozens of modern buildings. Of course some of the buildings I consider modern were built when I was a child (1950s-60s). Today's gallery contains a variety of these buildings.
In other news, I have received over a dozen door images to serve as inspiration for participants in the 4th Annual Thursday Doors Writing Challenge (TDWC) TDWC begins in less than two weeks. During that time, you can continue to contribute doors to serve as inspiration. For complete instructions to contribute doors, see this post.
I hope you enjoy the doors in today's gallery. I also hope you will check out some of the doors contributed by others today. The links and pingbacks can be found in the comments. These will be included in the Sunday Recap as well.

If you like character driven stories with strong female characters, magical realism, action, suspense, mystery, a bit of family sarcasm, and a slight religious undertone, you will enjoy these books:
