- The Historic Buildings of Pittsburgh and Allegheny County.
- Pittsburgh: Pittsburgh History & Landmarks Foundation, 1997.
- The building type most often seen in Allegheny County is the freestanding single-family house, and groupings of these, serrating the skyline of a hill, clinging to a distant slope, or riding the edges of a street that dips and rises with the land, dramatize the contours of the terrain and its great scale.

Spider-Man swinging above a city skyline is normally a familiar sight--in New York. But the stadium in this background is not Shea, and residents here are more used to heroes called "Steelers" and "Pirates" than "Spider-Man."
For this is Pittsburgh, the metropolis Rand-McNally chose as the best city in America in which to live. Unfortunately, it may soon be known by a rather more sinister legend: as the city where Spider-Man died!

The numerous hills, valleys and rivers of the Metro provide a variety of walls, bridges, and abandoned quarries which will challenge any urban climber (it is a fact that Pittsburgh is the #1 city of bridges in the U.S.A.).
