Cathedral View

This is the view from one of the Cathedral's balconies. The large building to the right is the University of Pittsburgh Library, where much of the early action of Seducing Mr. Darcy is set. The two round black objects with white spots on top in the foreground are refreshment-ordering booths at the outdoor café. You can see the tables and chairs to their right. The large rectangular building behind the library is Posvar Hall. This used to be the site of Forbes Field, where the Pittsburgh Pirates played until 1970. A portion of the center and right field walls still stand outside Posvar Hall and home plate is in the building, preserved under plexiglass. A very famous photo of Pirate fans watching the 1960 World Series in Forbes Field from a larger balcony off the Cathedral of Learning appeared in Life Magazine. Here's the story and here's the photo.
