Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA1955ChromeGood

Chrome postcard showing the Buhl Planetarium and Institute of Popular Science in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, at Federal and West Ohio Streets, North Side. The planetarium's distinctive low neoclassical building with its large central dome occupies the center-left of the image, with the ornate Gothic Revival tower of the Allegheny County Courthouse visible at right. In the middle ground, a bright "Old Shay Ale / Fort Pitt Beer" billboard stands out against the hillside behind, with mid-century buses and automobiles in the foreground streets. The wooded hillside of Troy Hill rises behind the buildings. Published by Imperial Greeting Card Co., Pittsburgh; printed by Plastichrome/Colourpicture Publishers, Boston.
