2014 Honorary Member of the Year
Presented by James W. Kastner to Arthur P. Ziegler, Jr. of the Pittsburgh History & Landmarks Foundation.
By the war years of the 1940s Pittsburgh was firmly established and both the “Arsenal of Democracy,” providing plenty of steel, aluminum and machinery for the war effort and the “Smoky City” with smog so thick the street lights would burn during the day. Beginning in the late 1940s the city, led by Mayor David L. Lawrence, entered what has become known as Renaissance One. Major initiatives aimed to improve air quality and clean up the rivers, led to urban revitalization efforts which, in some instances, saw the destruction of historic property and entire neighborhoods. While many of these programs held the best intention at heart, fifty plus years later, we realize that not every initiative was right for our city.
By 1961, Arthur P. Ziegler had already received his undergraduate and master’s degrees from the University of Pittsburgh, continued his education at Union Theological Seminary in New York City and Western Reserve University in Cleveland and returned home to Pittsburgh. In 1964 he co-founded the Pittsburgh History & Landmarks Foundation to combat urban renewal policies that devastated sections of Pittsburgh – literally and culturally. Forty years later, Mr. Ziegler continues to promote and utilize historic preservation as an effective means to create sustainable, affordable housing, healthy neighborhoods and economic development. His work has been as much about social justice for disenfranchised populations as it has been about preserving important places.
Mr. Ziegler’s preservation efforts created Pittsburgh’s famous Station Square and fostered a positive attitude toward preservation in Pittsburgh that stabilized many of its historic neighborhoods and created an environment in which the restoration of the Loew’s Penn Theatre as Heinz Hall, the Stanley Theatre as the Benedum Center, and the Gaiety as the Byham Theatre were made not only possible but inevitable.
Arthur Ziegler has authored 10 books on historic preservation and is the recipient of The National Trust for Historic Preservation’s Crowninshield Award, the President of United States’ Private Sector Achievement Award, and the Preservation Pennsylvania Otto Haas Award. He is also a WQED Pittsburgher of the Year and Southside Chamber of Commerce Man of the Year. He currently is president the Pittsburgh History & Landmarks Foundation and its subsidiaries Landmarks Financial, Landmarks Development Corporation, and Landmarks Community Capital Corporation.
Recorded at the 2014 Conclave Theatre Tour in Pittsburgh, PA.

Some interviews with AIP students who have had paranormal experiences. This was a video project I did back in 2007 for my Television Production class. The show was called, Imagine That, hence the cheesy line at the end. Each segment had some weird Pittsburgh related story... This segment is about ghosts.

Dover/Marshall Elevator - East Liberty Presbyterian Church/Cathedral of Hope - Pittsburgh, PA
This is a rather interesting elevator in my opinion, due to the layout, which originally made me believe that this was an 80s modernization, but now thinking about it, I think it was a replacement. This was originally a Westinghouse. This is a pretty nice Dover Oildraulic Elevator with Impulse fixtures, installed by Marshall Elevator, a local company in our area. There's also 1-2 dumbwaiter(s) (at least 1 non-working), 2 sidewalk lifts here, which I don't know if those work. Also the staff here is very friendly, as right before this video, a nice man took us on a tour of this place! This is 1 of the largest if not THE largest church in Western PA!
