The Poetry And Art of Liverpool Street Landmarks
A Collection of Sketches and Poems by Manchester Academic Charter School Students
During this neighborhood walking tour of the historic Manchester neighborhood in Pittsburgh , Pennsylvania , one hundred elementary school students examined architectural details of landmark buildings that were built in the 1870s. Back in their classroom they wrote poetry and drew charcoal sketches from photographs of those same buildings. This project was sponsored by the Pittsburgh History and Landmarks Foundation. Funding was provided by the Alfred M. Oppenheimer Memorial Fund of The Pittsburgh Foundation.

This oral history project brought 7th and 8th grade students from the Manchester Academic Charter School and senior residents of their neighborhood together. In the interviews, students learned about the economic, political and social changes that occurred in this urban community over the past 75 years. Short documentary videos were made using local and national primary source documents archived at Historic Pittsburgh and the Library of Congress.
