Below is the same view from July of 2016.

Actually, the Farmers National Bank Building was torn down so that the new Lazarus Department Store Building, spanning the block between Oliver and Fifth, could be built. Lazarus was closed by Federated in 2004, and the building has since been converted to condos.
The new PNC Building is in the block of Wood from Forbes to Fifth.

This picture was taken at Wood St and 3rd Ave. At present on the left from 3rd to 4th Ave is the YMCA bldg . At the corner of 4th and Wood the Arrott bldg on the left and the Bank Tower on the right are still there. Further down on the right is the Farmers Bank Building. The Arrott , Bank Tower and Farmers Bank were all built in 1901 and 1902. The Farmers Bank was demolished in 1997 and on that site now is the new PNC ( Pittsburgh National Corp )Tower.It was opened in 2015 and is one of the greenest buildings in the US.

Ahh, these were the good old days for plumbing. The faucet is clearly the Edison Direct Water Current type. Some time later Tesla The Plumber changed Pittsburgh to Alternating Water Current.

The Electric Spigot opened for the Grateful Dead in late November 1968. They played a some songs from their upcoming LP "The Edison Faucet Experiment." At least theat's what I remember.

I recall, in my youth, watching a Three Stooges short called "A Plumbing We Will Go". The boys take on a plumbing job at a house in a well-to-do neighborhood, and they start making a mess of it, when they discover wires inside the pipes.

At first, I thought this was conduit, but later realised that the house had originally had gas lighting, and when the gas lighting was replaced by electric lights, the electrician had simply run the electric wiring through the old gas pipes.

So, in fact, it makes sense that a plumber who did gas-fitting, would be the logical person to retrofit your gas-lit house with the new electric lighting.

I sure would like some of those great light fixtures for sale in that store!
