As Pitt trustees consider a $4.8 million project to clean and restore the Cathedral of Learning, we look back at the building's beginning and its present. Photographs from the University of Pittsburgh archives follow the cathedral's construction, and the words of Pitt's 10th chancellor, the late John G. Bowman, describe what the building would mean for the growing institution and community it served. Post-Gazette pictures show the building as it looks currently.
