Notes
  • Significance: Allequippa Terrace is among Pittsburgh's earliest low-income public housing projects. Following a long period of agitation by housing reformers. the Housing Authority of the City of Pittsburgh was formed in 1937. Shortly thereafter, large scale demolition began in the Hill District, site of Pittsburgh's worst slum housing. Allequippa Terrace was developed through a collaborative effort by a distinguished team of architect and planners; Raymond Marlier, William Boyd, Edward B. Lee, and Bernard H. Prack. Constructed in 1939-41, Allequippa Terrace provided 1,851 units of low-income housing in Bauhaus-inspired three-story apartments on curving streets.
