“A neighborhood-by-neighborhood, and in some cases building-by-building, analysis of the city, an architectural and social history that reads as both love letter and critique. . . .An incredibly agile writer, Toker moves easily from biography to aesthetics to history, all the while peppering the text with clever turns of phrase that lead to plenty of chuckles and even a few laugh-out-loud moments.”
—Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
“Exquisitely and eloquently announces the birth of postindustrial Pittsburgh . . . Serves [as] a scripture, an authoritative body of knowledge about the city focused mainly on the city’s architectural or built environment. It is a beautifully crafted paean to Pittsburgh as someplace special.”
—Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography
“Lovingly prepared and tastefully presented . . . praiseworthy, celebratory and revelatory.”
—Pittsburgh Quarterly
“[Important] to scholars for insight into the process of community and regional regeneration in the postindustrial era. . . . [An] interweaving of architectural description, engaged storytelling, and passionate advocacy for adaptive reuse . . . accessible and innovative . . . beautiful photography is seamlessly meshed with engaging prose.”
—Pennsylvania History
