Original 1966 Pennsylvania Railroad press kit, "Announcing Penn Park in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Railroad, Thursday, May 5, 1966," for the PRR's never-built plan to redevelop 148 acres from 10th to 21st Street along the Allegheny River as an extension of the Golden Triangle. Folder about 9.9 x 7.8 inches. Condition: used; folder lightly soiled and edge-worn, caption strips have orange paste staining at top where once attached, clippings toned and chipped.

Includes black and white press photos and architectural renderings, each with its typed caption strip (photographed photo first, caption after): Penn Park Circle plaza drawing; Robert W. Dowling's aerial concept; the rail yard and Allegheny River railroad bridge "iron rail curtain"; the Mall looking toward the Golden Triangle; a 1960s aerial with the Penn Park area outlined; Gateway Center and Point Park rendering; and a 1950 aerial of the Point. Also a black-tie group photo of civic leaders.

Paper: PRR News Bureau release for May 5, 1966 (Stuart T. Saunders, Richard K. Mellon, Mayor Joseph Barr, Gov. Scranton); Dowling's "Penn Park Presentation"; Mayor Barr's statement; "Highlights of Pittsburgh's Renaissance" and "PRR's Role in Pittsburgh's Renaissance"; and newspaper clippings including "142-Acre Strip Renaissance Will Give City New Gateway" and "Tying Ribbon on Pennsy Package." A superb Pittsburgh urban-renewal and Pennsy archive.
