Pittsburgh: The Stern Wheel Packet “Dean Adams” Arriving In Port in 1880

This is a view of what has now become known as the “Golden Triangle,” the area of land between the two converging rivers (Allegheny, left; and Monongahela, right) that, in joining form the beginning of the Ohio river. The covered wooden bridge, the Richardsonian Courthouse, Duquesne University and the Point and Smithfield Street Bridges all blend nicely into this composition as the Dean Adams crosses the confluence of the three rivers and edges towards the Monongahela Wharf to disembark her passengers.
